PANews January 31, 2025 — According to a report by Decrypt, data from CryptoQuant shows that the ratio measuring the relationship between Bitcoin's price and the profitability of Bitcoin mining operations has fallen to a 14-month low. The miner sustainability index stands at 21, the lowest level since November 2024. CryptoQuant noted that, given the sharp decline in Bitcoin's price this week and the current mining difficulty, miners' earnings are "extremely low." This remains the case despite the Bitcoin network's hash rate — a metric measuring network computing power — having declined for five consecutive cycles and reaching its lowest level since September 2025. In addition to the aforementioned indicators showing "extremely low" miner earnings, some miners have also been severely affected by a recent severe winter storm that has swept through the eastern United States, bringing snow and ice disasters to multiple states.

Analysts are closely monitoring Bitcoin price prediction models for signs of a recovery.
