Großes Bitcoin-Mining-Unternehmen, das auf KI umsteigt, plant, das Krypto-Mining bis 2027 vollständig aufzugeben, da Miner massenhaft auf KI umsteigen – Bitfarm wird nach einem Verlust von 46 Millionen US-Dollar im dritten Quartal 341 Megawatt Kapazität für KI nutzen. KI ist mittlerweile lukrativer als Bitcoin, insbesondere wenn die Infrastruktur vorhanden ist.

tldr; Bitfarm, a major Bitcoin mining firm, plans to pivot entirely to AI data center services by 2027, leveraging its 341 MW energy capacity. The decision follows a $46 million Q3 loss and challenges in Bitcoin mining profitability. The company aims to convert its Washington site to support Nvidia AI servers, potentially generating higher income than Bitcoin mining. Bitfarm’s shift reflects the growing demand for AI processing, though it carries risks amid concerns of an AI industry bubble and significant investment costs.

Bitfarm a „major Bitcoin mining firm“ ? You gotta be kidding right ?
Numbers:
Max Hashrate reached: 0.7% (of total Hashrate)
Max pool dominance: 0.1%
They moved to AI because they simply couldnt compete.
Crashed out of mining biz, has no GPU acquisition plan. Copying competitors years ahead
Miners go where they can maximize their profits.
When the price of Bitcoin rises again, the reverse will happen.
Well, I guess the upside in AI is more in line with early days of BTC. Even if Bitcoin was ever to reach 1 million that is „only“ a 10x from there. 250k was a 2x from the ATH. I’m guessing that risk/reward is simply higher within the AI field.
That’s how it begins
