Bitcoin rises above $64,000 as miners cut computing power for AI and Venice's token jumps on $100M revenue.

Bitcoin climbed above $64,000, marking the only major cryptocurrency with a notable daily gain while others slipped or stayed flat. Publicly listed bitcoin miners have reduced their computing power by 21% over three quarters to shift capacity towards AI infrastructure, reflecting weak mining economics and competition for resources. Venice, an AI platform, reported over $100 million in annualized revenue, boosting its VVV token by 10%. Meanwhile, oil prices surged above $91 a barrel amid geopolitical tensions, adding inflation concerns that pressured bonds and stocks. Bitcoin remains stuck between $62,000 and $65,000, with sellers controlling medium- and long-term trends until it breaks this range.
