Bitcoin Mining ETF WGMI Shifts 80% Assets to AI Power Firms

The Bitcoin Mining industry Al transition of July 2026 did not happen overnight.
Mining companies spent years building large, power-dense facilities with secured grid connections, the exact assets that Al hosting firms now need and cannot build quickly.
CoinShares' research note on the mining-Al convergence points to several already-signed deals:
• Core Scientific signed 12-year hosting agreements with CoreWeave worth $10.2
billion in total contract value.
• IREN secured a five-year, $9.7 billion Al cloud contract with Microsoft.
• TeraWulf has announced more than $12
billion in long-term HPC hosting contracts.
• Hut 8 signed a 15-year lease reported at $9.8 billion for its Beacon Point campus.
These Bitcoin mining companies' HPC semiconductor deals show that Al hosting revenue is no longer a side experiment.#BTCBreaks71000Up10.5% #ETHSurges20%BreaksThrough2300 #BTCETHReboundTradeIdeas #USTreasuryBuybacksAndRegulatorySignalsDriveCryptoSurge #StrategySurgesNearly12% $BTC

Hut 8's 15-year lease is worth nearly $10 billion, showing that traditional power assets are more valuable than GPUs in the AI era, and that miners' assets were not acquired in vain.

Interesting—once the mining rigs are fully depreciated, they can be fitted with GPUs, and the grid capacitors are already in place. This isn’t a transformation; it’s the pinnacle of resource reuse. Even NVIDIA would be speechless.

Mining companies are making a smart move: the power infrastructure is already in place, AI firms urgently need computing capacity, and miners can easily profit from long-term contracts.

I used to think mining was a waste of electricity, but now it looks like they had factories ready for AI in advance—what incredible foresight.

Honestly, Bitcoin miners switching to AI hosting is far more stable than simply speculating on crypto—the cash flow is firmly locked in, and the market is buying it.

First Review
That $10.2 billion contract with Core Scientific runs for 12 years—this isn’t a mining company, it’s clearly an energy real estate developer.
