Public Bitcoin miners are preparing roughly 30 GW of AI-oriented power capacity, nearly triple the 11 GW they run today, to navigate tighter margins after the 2024 halving. Some operators, including HIVE Digital, report growing AI/HPC revenue, while investors urge faster pivots; market volatility since Q4 saw Bitcoin drop below $60,000 before stabilizing in February.
