On May 15, following the latest adjustment, the mining difficulty of the leading cryptocurrency increased by 3.12%, reaching 136.61 T. Source: CloverPool. This metric is approximately 8% lower than at the start of the year and more than 12% below the historical peak of 155.97 T recorded in October. This year, difficulty has increased in only four out of ten adjustments. At the time of the latest change, the hash rate exceeded 1 ZH/s for the first time since February. According to Glassnode, the smoothed 7-day moving average of the network's computational power is around 994.6 EH/s.  Source: Glassnode. Among mining pools, Foundry USA leads with a 28.7% share of the global hash rate, followed by AntPool (17.2%) and ViaBTC (11.3%). Source: CloverPool. TheMinerMag calculated that in the first quarter, the mining capacity of the top 10 public companies in the industry slightly decreased from 297 EH/s to 291 EH/s. However, experts noted a significant redistribution of hash rate behind this relative stability. Core Scientific, IREN, Cipher Digital, TeraWulf, and Keel Infrastructure sharply reduced their shares, actively diversifying towards AI services. Conversely, Bitdeer, MARA, and American Bitcoin aggressively expanded, occupying the vacated space in the mining market. Source: TheMinerMag. According to Hashrate Index, amid the rising difficulty, the hash price fell to ~$36.6 per PH/s per day. Additional pressure on the primary profitability metric of mining was exerted by Bitcoin's drop below $80,000. Over the past day, the asset's price decreased by ~2.4% (CMC). Source: Hashrate Index.

Bitcoin miner and data centre operator IREN has completed the issuance of convertible senior notes amounting to $3 billion. The initial offering was set at $2.6 billion, but buyers fully exercised the option for additional notes worth $400 million. The company's net proceeds after deducting fees amount to $2.96 billion. The bonds carry a coupon rate of 1% per annum and mature in 2033. The conversion premium is set at 32.5%. The instrument was privately sold to institutional investors. Approximately $201 million of the proceeds were allocated to "capped call" transactions, a hedging mechanism designed to protect shareholders from dilution when the bonds are converted into shares. The remaining funds will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. IREN is developing infrastructure for cloud computing and artificial intelligence. The company owns data centres and a fleet of GPUs in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. Miners Shift to AI According to TheEnergyMag, the total hashrate of the Bitcoin network in the first quarter declined from 985 EH/s to 873 EH/s. The drop in activity is linked to major mining companies shifting focus to infrastructure for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing (HPC). The most significant declines were recorded by IREN (from 42.96 EH/s to 35.83 EH/s) and Keel Infrastructure (from 16.52 EH/s to 11.51 EH/s). The company Cipher Digital completely halted operations at the Black Pearl site to repurpose it for AI needs. Core Scientific also confirmed plans to scale back mining. By the end of the year, the company will have no more than two cryptocurrency mining sites. In the first quarter, Core Scientific wrote off assets worth $266.5 million, with more than half attributed to mining equipment. Some players have seized the opportunity to expand their market share. Riot Platforms increased its hashrate to 42.29 EH/s, while Bitdeer reached 50.26 EH/s. American Bitcoin boosted its capacity to 28.1 EH/s, using Bitcoin collateral instead of cash to purchase new devices. Previously, miners would shut down devices due to falling prices or high electricity costs, but now they are abandoning Bitcoin mining in favour of AI due to more stable profitability and financing conditions. Data centres repurposed for GPUs are unlikely to return to mining in the near future, concluded TheEnergyMag. Earlier, TeraWulf reported first-quarter revenue of $34 million, with approximately $21 million generated from HPC services.

Cybersecurity researchers from Calif, utilizing the much-discussed AI model Claude Mythos, managed to bypass Apple's Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE) protection mechanism in macOS. In April, the company discovered two vulnerabilities in macOS and linked them into an attack chain. This allowed a regular local user to gain root access—the highest privileges in the system. The breach was tested on an actual device with an M5 chip, where MIE protection was enabled. Experts have informed Apple of the issue and plan to publish technical details once it is resolved. In their view, Mythos could not have executed the attack alone without human assistance. It can replicate already described methods but not invent new ones. Apple's Security Errors related to improper memory operation remain the most common type of vulnerabilities almost everywhere, including iOS and macOS. In cybersecurity, there is a simple principle: if a problem cannot be completely prevented, one must accept the risk and attempt to mitigate it. One option is to make the attack much more complex and costly for the attacker. Such protective measures are not cheap. Calif emphasized that Apple acts wisely and controls the entire system—from hardware to software. Therefore, the company has integrated many protective mechanisms directly into the chips, making them very difficult to bypass. Many security experts consider Apple devices the most secure mass-market platform for regular users. The latest example is MIE. This is Apple's memory protection system, which operates using the chip's hardware capabilities. It was introduced as one of the main security features in Apple M5 and A19. It is specifically designed to stop attacks based on memory operation errors. Apple developed the system over five years. MIE disrupts all publicly known attack chains against modern versions of iOS, including the recently leaked Coruna and Darksword toolsets. Calif explored how AI can assist in creating attacks that still work even with such memory protection. The path to breaching macOS was discovered accidentally. Bruce Dang found the errors on April 25. Josh Main created the necessary tools, and by May 1, a working version was ready. “This experiment shows what might await us next. Apple developed MIE in a world where Mythos Preview did not yet exist. Now we will see how the world's best protection technology withstands the first major wave of vulnerabilities found with AI,” the experts concluded. Back in April, Anthropic declined to release Mythos publicly due to high security risks.
