AI Is Eating Bitcoin Mining's Power Budget [NEWS]
About this episode
Bitcoin mining's most important news cycle in months. This HashrateUp NEWS episode covers the AI capital flood reshaping hash rate, new ASIC hardware from Bitdeer, public miners selling BTC to fund pivots, and a solo miner beating 1-in-300-year odds.
Market snapshot: -3.5% difficulty adjustment, hash price at $32.20 ($0.454/TH/day). The 30-day SMA sits at 972 EH/s with no trend reversal yet. The macro story: AI infrastructure is pulling $700B-$1T/year vs. Bitcoin mining's $35-50B total over five years — and they're competing for the same kilowatt hours.
