Also, there has been a recent decline in the worldwide Bitcoin network hashrate.
The amount of bitcoin that miners have on hand has dropped significantly, according to statistics published by IntoTheBlock. The market recently witnessed the highly anticipated halving event for Bitcoin, and these reserves are at their lowest level in the previous 12 years.

Tough Time for Miners
There has been a recent decline in the worldwide Bitcoin network hashrate. After reaching a peak of 714.89 EH/s on March 24, it has since dropped to 624 EH/s. This, according to analysts, will make the decline all the more critical. Particularly relevant here are the issues that operations with lower mining efficiency are anticipated to face as a result of the decrease in the block reward.
There will be a loss of $445 million due to the recently concluded halving of Bitcoin, which reduced payouts by half. Consequently, there will be a significant drop in the profit that miners make from block rewards. Because of the shift, experts estimate that miners will lose about $10 billion.
Historical data shows that times after halving often have price increases that aid in restoration. But this bull run doesn’t follow the usual procedures, such a pre-halving increase that may have been brought about by Bitcoin ETF launches, thus the outcomes might be different.
Once the primary source of income, transaction fees now constitute a portion of miners’ income share. The majority of the revenues in this example came from block rewards, with transaction fees accounting for barely $11 million.
