Bitcoin miners shift to leasing power to AI firms, earning 3x more than mining itself.

Bitcoin miners are increasingly leasing their electricity capacity to AI companies, which pay about three times more per megawatt than Bitcoin mining itself. This shift is driven by AI firms' urgent demand for power and the miners' existing grid-connected infrastructure, which is hard to replicate quickly. While contracts worth up to $100 billion have been announced, only about 14% of this capacity is currently active, generating $1.1 to $1.5 billion annually. Investors are valuing these miners more on their power leasing potential than on Bitcoin production, signaling a major industry pivot.

Bitcoin miners pivoting to AI power infrastructure provide context for cryptocurrency market trends. For readers following major cryptocurrencies on Pluang, as of Sep 24, 2026 07:51 WIB, 6 out of 50 major cryptocurrencies rose while 43 fell. Notable movers include AXS at Rp18.506 (-8.51%), CRV at Rp5.933 (-8.50%), and KSM at Rp77.354 (-8.42%).
