SBI Crypto To Shut Mining Pool July 31 Cutting 20.9 EH/s As AI Data Centers Eat Hash Margin
A legacy mining brand is walking away and hash market felt the shift fast. SBI Crypto, the mining arm of Japan giant SBI Holdings, said it will end its Bitcoin mining pool on July 31, removing roughly 20.9 EH/s, about 2% of global hash, from the board. The group cited tight margins after halving, plus rising power cost and a reported $21 million hack in Sept 2025 that hit timeline. The move lands just as AI data center firms like Hyperscale Data pivot to BTC treasury plus AI rack mix.

The Bitcoin mining landscape has shifted dramatically in Q2–Q3 2024. Here’s what you need to know:
🔹 Hashrate Resilience
Despite the April 2024 halving (block reward dropped from 6.25 BTC → 3.125 BTC), the global hashrate has remained surprisingly robust—hovering near 600 EH/s. Public miners are deploying next-gen rigs (e.g., Antminer S21, MicroBT M66S) to offset revenue loss.
🔹 Efficiency is King
Older models (S19, M30) are now unprofitable at $0.07/kWh. Miners are aggressively upgrading to 22–18 J/TH efficiency machines. The average fleet efficiency has improv

Market Impact Analysis
The Bitcoin mining sector is entering a post-halving recalibration phase, where survival is dictated by efficiency, cost structure, and capital access — not just scale.
Key dynamics shaping the market:
Hashrate continues to trend upward, signaling ongoing network security growth but also intensifying competition
Block rewards are structurally reduced, forcing miners to rely more heavily on transaction fees and operational efficiency
Rising energy costs and infrastructure constraints are compressing margins globally
This creates a divergence

“Behind every Bitcoin block lies an evolving industry of miners adapting to cost pressure, technology shifts, and global energy dynamics. Understanding these changes provides a strategic edge in navigating it".
The Bitcoin mining industry is undergoing a significant transformation as economic pressure, technological upgrades, and regulatory environments reshape how mining operations function globally. Mining is no longer just about computational power; it is now deeply connected to energy efficiency, geographic positioning, and capital management. As competition
