Bitcoin Mining Output Drops in June — Here’s What Caused It
2025/07/03 00:41Several Bitcoin mining companies reported a decline in output in June compared to the previous month. The reason could be attributed to a decrease in the network’s overall hashrate.
Nevertheless, the Bitcoin mining market is witnessing several positive developments with the entry of new companies.
Bitcoin Mining Output Declined in June
As previously shared by BeInCrypto, June 2025 marked a turning point with an 8-month low drop in Bitcoin’s network hashrate.
A heatwave impacted the operations of mining farms. High temperatures reduced machine efficiency, forcing many miners to pause or scale down operations, particularly in regions like Texas and China. Additionally, the war in Iran appears to have also contributed to the decline in operations.
However, this is not entirely indicative of a broader downturn. At the time of writing, the network hashrate has shown signs of recovery.

That said, the decline in hashrate seems to have impacted the performance of Bitcoin mining companies in June. According to published data, several companies in the industry experienced a slight reduction in output when costs surged 34%.
In its report, Cango stated it mined 450 BTC in June, down from 484.5 BTC in May, representing a 7% decrease. Similarly, MARA reported mining 713 BTC compared to 950 BTC in May, a 25% reduction. Cipher Mining mined just 160 BTC in June.
“The decrease was primarily due to reduced uptime from weather-related curtailment and the temporary deployment of older machines in Garden City while storm-related damage was being remediated.” MARA shared the report.
Despite the decline in mining output in June, the sector has also seen positive signals with an influx of new companies joining the space.
Specifically, South Africa’s state-owned power company, Eskom, is considering using excess electricity to mine Bitcoin. Meanwhile, NIP Group, a US-listed company, has entered the Bitcoin mining field. Additionally, UK-based TWL Miner completed a $95 million Series B funding round.
This demonstrates the industry’s resilience, driven by risk management strategies and investments in advanced cooling technologies.

Anthropic's Core Concern: Revenue Can Be Withdrawn at Any Time, but Computing Power Costs Are Locked in for up to 20 Years
Zheshang Securities believes that Anthropic's revenue is mainly based on usage-based billing, with remaining performance obligations covering only about 5.1 months of annualized revenue, while compute power costs are already locked in with $895.4 billion in irrevocable commitments, some extending as far as 2045. Revenues can be reduced at any time, but costs are non-exitable, creating a highly asymmetric maturity gap between the two—this is the company's real core constraint.
Triple Pressure from the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress; Goldman Sachs: Liquidity Crisis May Occur in 2027
Goldman Sachs warns that the reserve ratio of bank assets has dropped to around 11%, only slightly above the crisis trough of 2019. In the second half of 2027, a deadlock in debt ceiling negotiations will force the Treasury to rebuild the TGA, triggering a "perfect storm" of a sharp drop in reserves and a surge in T-bill supply; combined with stalled money market fund buying, this will create a huge liquidity black hole. The Federal Reserve could be forced into the awkward position of lowering interest rates and launching large-scale bond purchases to rescue the market.
