What to know:

  • Bitcoin miner revenues have fallen to their lowest in two months, with daily earnings dropping to $34 million.
  • Despite declining profitability, there is no sign of forced selling as miner wallet outflows remain low.
  • Miner reserves are increasing, indicating a long-term strategy amid current low prices.

Bitcoin miner revenues have slid to their lowest levels in two months, but there’s still no sign of forced selling, even as profitability falls.

Daily mining revenue dropped to $34 million on June 22, the weakest since April and among the lowest levels over the past year, CryptoQuant said in a weekly report shared with CoinDesk.

The drop comes as transaction fees decline and bitcoin hovers near local lows, reducing overall incentives for miners to stay online.

Hashrate has dipped 3.5% since June 16, marking the most significant pullback in network computing power since July 2024. While modest, it reflects mounting pressure on miners already grappling with tighter margins following the halving.

Yet the expected wave of miner capitulation hasn’t materialized. Outflows from miner wallets have remained muted, sliding from 23,000 BTC per day in February to around 6,000 BTC currently — with no exchange transfer spikes recorded.

Even wallets tied to Satoshi-era miners, often a bellwether for long-term sentiment, have barely budged: just 150 BTC sold so far in 2025, compared to nearly 10,000 BTC offloaded in 2024.

Satoshi-era miners refer to network participants who mined their coins during the very early days of the Bitcoin network, typically between 2009 and 2011, when Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator, was still active on online forums.

Meanwhile, data shows miner reserves are growing. Addresses holding between 100 and 1,000 BTC — typically operated by mid-sized mining entities — have added 4,000 BTC since March, pushing balances to their highest levels since November 2024.

The takeaway is miners are playing the long game, either anticipating a rebound or preferring to burn through cash rather than sell at current prices.

“This further suggests there’s no selling pressure coming from miners at these price levels,” CryptoQuant concluded.
