> Daily miner revenue increased from about $27 million to $48 million as Bitcoin climbed above $83,000, reducing pressure to sell coins for operating costs.

Bitcoin (BTC) miners have eased their selling as daily revenue rose 78% from about $27 million to roughly $48 million, reducing one source of persistent selling pressure without signaling a return to accumulation.

Extreme miner outflow events have not occurred since Aug. 21. The largest daily outflows have been about 12,000 BTC, a level within the normal range.

Bitcoin rose from below $58,000 at the start of July to above $83,000, improving miners’ ability to cover operating costs without liquidating as many coins. Transaction fees also increased from a seven-day average of $195,000 to $275,000, although they remain below their 2025 peaks.

The shift has also appeared among older miners. Excluding Patoshi-associated BTC, Satoshi-era miners moved about 600 BTC from their wallets in September, roughly 70% less than the 2,000 BTC moved in January. Their combined holdings remain near 590,000 BTC.

Addresses holding between 100 BTC and 1,000 BTC saw their combined balance decline from about 64,000 BTC in December 2025 to 51,000 BTC by early September. That balance has since stabilized.

Mining conditions have improved alongside the market. Bitcoin’s hash rate recovered from below 900 exahashes per second in late July to above 960 EH/s, while its decline from the previous peak narrowed from 18% to 13%.

The Miner Profit/Loss Sustainability Indicator shifted from “extremely underpaid” between May and August to “fairly paid” after Aug. 21. The change reflects reduced pressure on miners whose revenue is sufficient to cover operating costs.

The latest trend follows [earlier easing in Bitcoin miner selling pressure](<https://www.tokenpost.com/news/investing/28209>). Miners have stopped reducing their holdings at the previous pace, but they have not begun rebuilding their BTC balances. A sustained return to accumulation would mark a further shift from miners as a source of market supply toward long-term holders.
