Currently, miners’ income is equal to about 850–900 BTC. We observed roughly the same numbers in November 2020, when BTC accelerated its growth rates.

However, it should be noted that between December 4th and 5th, Bitcoin miners began to accumulate coins carefully.
An absolutely identical on-chain picture is reflected by the 5-minute block resolution, in which miners…
