According to TechFlow news on March 28, reported by CoinDesk, publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies are losing about $19,000 for each Bitcoin mined, and are therefore rapidly turning to 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 worth $10.2 billion and spans 12 years. TeraWulf’s high-performance computing contract revenue has reached $12.8 billion. Hut 8 has signed a $7 billion, 15-year leasing agreement for AI infrastructure for its campus in River Bend. Cipher Digital has reached a multibillion-dollar agreement with Fluidstack, backed by Google.

By the end of 2026, AI could account for as much as 70% of the revenue for publicly traded mining companies, up from about 30% currently. Core Scientific’s AI hosting revenue now accounts for 39% of its total revenue. TeraWulf’s percentage is 27%. IREN’s percentage is 9%.
