Some #البيتكوين miners are transitioning toward artificial intelligence hosting. Many think this is a negative indicator, but the reality is the opposite.



Hut 8 signed a lease for an artificial intelligence data center worth $7 billion backed by Google.

Core Scientific is being acquired by CoreWeave for $9 billion.

Cipher Mining reduced its hash rate by 51% to build artificial intelligence infrastructure.

Returns on artificial intelligence hosting range between $200 and $500 per megawatt/hour compared to $57 to $129 for Bitcoin mining.

In this way, miners are diversifying their use of the most profitable energy on the planet while continuing Bitcoin mining operations. They are building revenue streams that allow them to mine during bear markets without needing to panic sell Bitcoin.

As for miners who are withdrawing? There is an important point that many don't realize. The Bitcoin network has an immune system called difficulty adjustment. When miners leave the network, difficulty drops, mining becomes cheaper for those who stay, margins improve, and the network rebalances. The network has repeated this every cycle for 16 years.

For example, China banned mining in 2021, hash rate dropped 50% overnight, but it recovered completely within 8 months and reached new all-time highs.

The narrative that "artificial intelligence is killing Bitcoin" assumes mining is a static system, while the reality is that this energy market is one of the most adaptive on Earth...
