Bitcoin miners escape months of distress as daily revenue surges by 78%

Bitcoin miners' daily revenue rose 78% to $48M as BTC recovered 45% from July lows, per CryptoQuant. Hashprice hit $40, its highest since January, but rising mining difficulty could threaten gains if BTC falls toward $80K. Miners' financial position improved, with revenue now covering network difficulty costs, but remains vulnerable to price declines.
