Pi Network Mining Rate Surges in December: What Happened to the Miners?

Pi Network (PI) has closed six consecutive red months and still struggles to recover from last quarter’s decline. In December, however, the network’s mining rate increased again.
The following report explains why Pi’s mining speed is rising under current conditions.
Pi Miners Now Need Over 13 Days to Mine 1 Pi
A long-time Pioneer who tracks Pi’s mining speed reported that December’s base mining rate reached 0.0031296 π/hour, up 13.59% from November’s 0.0027551 π/hour.
This increase marks the strongest jump since the dynamic mining formula launched in March 2022. It also breaks a two-year streak of continuous decline.
“It now takes about 13.3 days to mine 1 Pi, and 27.4 Pi can be mined in 1 year without bonuses,” the X account AKE1974 π stated.
A well-known Pioneer account in the Pi community, Dao World, confirmed AKE1974 π’s data.

The statistical chart shows more than just numbers. It reflects a significant shift in the Pi ecosystem.
Mining speed has declined for two consecutive years due to the growing user base diluting the rewards.
However, December shows a reversal. This trend suggests that some Pi miners may have paused their mining activity after many years of patience.
Why are miners giving up? The strongest reason lies in the fact that they can buy Pi cheaply instead of spending time and effort to mine it.
Pi Price Performance.
Data shows that Pi trades at $0.23, far below its nearly $3 price in March.
“Reason is people feel buying is easy and cheap rather than mining!” Pi Network Academy stated.
Earning $0.23 for 13 days of mining no longer appears appealing, especially as bullish price expectations fade. Many holders only hope for a recovery to break even, rather than make a profit.
Number of Pi Nodes on Mainnet Surged Tenfold in 2025
In reviewing 2025, the number of Pi nodes on the Pi Network’s mainnet has experienced significant growth.
In March, when Pi reached historical highs, Piscan reported 23 active nodes on the Pi Network mainnet. That number has since increased tenfold.

By December, the mainnet hosts 296 active nodes, with most located in Vietnam, South Korea, Hong Kong, and the United States.
This growth indicates that more investors are willing to take on a larger role in the network, reflecting long-term confidence in the network’s future. Recently, the Pi Core Team expanded node-related applications by investing in OpenMind.
When mining rewards rise, node operators benefit first. This increase may also encourage new users to join the ecosystem.
“This growth is another reminder that Pi Network is not stagnant but evolving every month with measurable progress fueled by millions of active Pioneers,” JB Exchange commented.
Pi’s journey back to previous highs—and to a new ATH—may still be difficult as the price has fallen more than 90%.
