Bitcoin Miners Dump $1.7B Worth Of BTC As Rising Mining Difficulty And Weak Price Action Take Their Toll
The compulsion to sell likely stemmed from the increasing mining difficulty, which was at its all-time high as of this writing, according to data from the Hashprice Index. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) miners continued to cash out their holdings this week, significantly contributing to the downside pressure on the market.
比特幣（CRYPTO: BTC）礦工本週繼續出售他們的持倉，大幅度增加了行業板塊的下行壓力。
What happened: According to an X post by prominent cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez on Wednesday, miners dumped over 30,000 Bitcoins in the last 72 hours. The liquidated supply was worth more than $1.7 billion as of this writing.
發生了什麼：根據知名數字貨幣分析師和交易員Ali Martinez在週三的一篇帖子中所述，過去72小時內礦工已經拋售了超過30,000枚比特幣。這部分清算的供應據本文撰寫時價值超過1.7億美元。

The compulsion to sell likely stemmed from the increasing mining difficulty, which was at its all-time high as of this writing, according to data from the Hashprice Index.
出售的衝動很可能源於採礦難度的增加，在本文撰寫時該難度已經創下歷史新高，根據Hashprice指數的數據。
The difficulty has seen two consecutive positive adjustments over the last two weeks, making it tougher and more expensive for miners to add new blocks.
在過去兩週，採礦難度已經連續兩次進行了正向調整，這使得礦工添加新區塊變得更加困難和昂貴。
To make matters worse, Bitcoin's price has plunged nearly 10% in this period, severely impacting miners' revenues, and prompting them to dump their holdings to generate cash.
更糟糕的是，在這一時期，比特幣的價格已經暴跌近10％，嚴重影響了礦工的收入，促使他們拋售持倉以籌集現金。

Why It Matters: The mining industry has encountered significant headwinds since Bitcoin's halving event in April.
爲什麼很重要：自4月份比特幣減半事件以來，礦業行業遇到了重大困境。
The 50% reduction in block subsidies, or rewards given to miners for adding a new block to Bitcoin's ledger, put a strain on their finances since they were receiving far less than before with operating costs remaining the same.
區塊補貼減少50%，即礦工爲比特幣賬本添加新區塊而獲得的獎勵，給他們的財務狀況造成了壓力，因爲他們得到的收入明顯少於以前，而運營成本仍然相同。
In fact, revenues from the once-lucrative sector sank to an 11-month low in August, down 57% from March peaks.
事實上，這個曾經利潤豐厚的行業的收入在8月份跌至11個月低點，較3月的高峰下降了57%。
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $58,147.18, up 3.04% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
價格走勢：截至撰寫本文時，根據Benzinga Pro的數據，比特幣交易價格爲58,147.18美元，過去24小時上漲了3.04%。
