According to TechFlow news on March 28, reported by CoinDesk, publicly listed Bitcoin mining companies are losing about $19,000 for each Bitcoin mined, and are therefore quickly shifting towards AI and high-performance computing infrastructure. A report from CoinShares shows that the public mining sector has announced over $70 billion in AI and high-performance computing contracts. Just the expanded partnership agreement between CoreWeave and Core Scientific is valued at $10.2 billion and lasts for 12 years. TeraWulf’s high-performance computing contract revenue has reached $12.8 billion. Hut 8 signed a $7 billion, 15-year lease agreement for AI infrastructure for its River Bend facility. Cipher Digital has struck a multi-billion-dollar deal with Google-backed Fluidstack.

By the end of 2026, AI could account for as much as 70% of the revenue for listed mining companies, up from the current 30%. Core Scientific’s AI hosting revenue already constitutes 39% of its total revenue. TeraWulf’s figure is 27%. IREN’s figure is 9%.
