Bitcoin News Today: Bitcoin Miners See 4% Revenue Rise in July 2025 Post-Halving Recovery

Bitcoin miners achieved a significant revenue milestone in July 2025, reaching a daily block reward of $57,400 per exahash (EH/s), according to JPMorgan’s latest report. This marks the highest level of miner earnings since the Bitcoin halving event in April 2024 and reflects a 4% increase from the previous month. The growth is attributed to sustained Bitcoin prices and optimized mining operations, signaling a strong post-halving recovery phase for the industry [1]. Despite this improvement, the earnings remain 43% below pre-halving levels, with mining difficulty rising to 899 EH/s [2].

The increase in miner revenue coincided with heightened network computational power, a key indicator of Bitcoin's ongoing adoption and infrastructure development. However, the rising difficulty also points to sustained operational pressures on miners, who must balance energy efficiency with profitability in an increasingly competitive environment [3]. JPMorgan analysts highlighted that the recent earnings represent a temporary boost, noting that miner margins and Bitcoin dynamics continue to experience fluctuations [4].

On-chain data from CryptoQuant further indicated that the surge in miner revenue was accompanied by increased selling pressure in July. A notable wave of whale activity and miner sell-offs followed Bitcoin reaching record highs, suggesting a potential short-term correction in the market [5]. This pattern is consistent with historical trends observed after major Bitcoin price movements, where sharp gains are often followed by consolidation or market adjustments.

In parallel, Tether reported robust financial performance during the same period. The stablecoin giant recorded a net profit of $4.9 billion in Q2 2025, a new record, and expanded its Bitcoin holdings [6]. This underscores the growing institutional involvement in the Bitcoin ecosystem and the role of stablecoins in reinforcing its broader financial integration.

Meanwhile, JPMorgan itself reported a $4.38 billion trading volume on July 31, placing it 17th in crypto-related trading activity. However, the bank’s share price declined by 1.13% on the same day, despite a significant 81.36% rise in daily trading volume [7]. This highlights the complexity of integrating cryptocurrency into traditional financial systems, where operational success and stock performance can diverge due to broader market sentiment and regulatory developments.

In the broader crypto market, Polkadot’s DOT token fell more than 5% amid a wider market selloff on July 13. While unrelated to Bitcoin mining profitability, the drop reflects the interconnected nature of the crypto asset class and the rapid shifts in investor sentiment that can occur in response to broader market conditions [8].

Overall, the July 2025 data illustrates a maturing Bitcoin mining sector. JPMorgan’s report emphasizes the economic resilience of the industry post-halving, with miners benefiting from higher block rewards per computational effort. Nevertheless, long-term sustainability remains a key concern, particularly as operational costs and difficulty adjustments continue to evolve. The sector’s ability to adapt to these pressures will be critical in determining its future trajectory.
