Converting Bitcoin mines to AI data centers costs about $9.3M per megawatt, driven by complex infrastructure needs.

Bitcoin mining facilities have the power infrastructure AI data centers need, but converting them is costly due to advanced cooling, connectivity, and electrical demands. Core Scientific's plan to convert 590 MW of mining capacity into AI data centers involves $5.5 billion in construction, averaging $9.3 million per megawatt. While existing power connections help, significant reconstruction is required, making conversion expensive. The shift to AI hosting offers miners more predictable revenue than volatile Bitcoin mining, but requires large upfront investments and financing commitments.
