Bitcoin miners sell 28,000 BTC in 2026 due to rising production costs and shifting to AI data centers

In 2026, publicly traded Bitcoin miners have sold about 28,000 BTC, worth around $1.78 billion, as production costs exceed Bitcoin's market price. Their holdings dropped from 127,000 BTC to 99,000 BTC, a 22% decline. High costs averaging $74,300 per BTC and a 27% price drop have forced about 20% of miners to operate at a loss. Many miners are selling BTC to fund a shift toward AI and high-performance computing data centers, leveraging their existing infrastructure for more stable profits.
