Bitcoin Mining Struggles Amid Rising Costs and Geopolitical Tensions

With production costs surging and market prices dropping, the economics of mining are becoming increasingly unviable. In mid-March, production costs for a single Bitcoin were pegged at around $88,000, while the market price hovered around $69,200, creating a loss gap of nearly $19,000 per coin.
