BlockBeats News, December 7 — According to the latest data released by CryptoRank, the average cash cost for mining one Bitcoin has risen to $74,600. When factoring in depreciation and stock-based compensation (SBC), the all-in cost reaches $137,800. As the total network hash rate surpasses the symbolic milestone of 1 ZH/s, competition has intensified significantly, leading to a sharp decline in miners’ profitability. This trend is prompting many publicly listed mining companies to shift their capacity toward higher-margin businesses such as AI/HPC (High-Performance Computing), rather than continuing to invest in traditional Bitcoin mining. As a result, the industry is now splitting into two main models: • Infrastructure Providers: repositioning mining data centers for high-profit computing businesses • Traditional Miners: struggling to survive in an increasingly competitive, near-zero profit environment.

The European Commission has officially launched an antitrust investigation into Meta, citing its updated WhatsApp policy, which is alleged to allow only its own AI chatbots to operate while restricting other artificial intelligence service providers from accessing the platform. The investigation centers on whether Meta is leveraging its dominant market position to hinder competition, which could have far-reaching effects on the European AI industry and the ecosystem of communication platforms. The probe focuses on the business terms updated by WhatsApp in late October. The new policy explicitly prohibits third-party companies whose core product is artificial intelligence from distributing AI chatbots via the WhatsApp Business API. According to the terms, only if AI is an “incidental or auxiliary function” are relevant businesses allowed to use the API, while companies offering AI as their main service have been completely banned from access since October 15. For AI service providers already on the platform, the ban will take effect starting January 15, 2026.

A federal district judge in New York has recently ruled that OpenAI must hand over approximately 20 million anonymized ChatGPT user logs to The New York Times and other plaintiffs, marking a significant development in the closely watched AI copyright lawsuit.

This ruling further intensifies the conflict between the two parties over copyright, data governance, and the legality of AI training data.
