Bitcoin miner profits soared to their highest level since the 2024 halving, reaching $57,400 per EH/s in daily block rewards. Despite record highs in July at $122,838, miners faced challenges like increased operational costs and lowered rewards. Mining difficulty also rose 9% during the month.

The top 11 miners saw a decline in tokens added, with four out of six months showing decreases. The recent halving reduced rewards from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC, impacting mining operations. The industry, reliant on significant electricity consumption, faces higher costs during price drops.

Bitcoin mining is dominated by industrial-sized operations, with energy-intensive warehouses full of computers. MARA Holdings, the largest miner, saw a 64% revenue increase to $238 million in Q2, with net income rising 505% due to a $1.2 billion gain in Bitcoin holdings.
