Bitcoin miners go AI HPC: Bitdeer’s 570 MW Ohio push and the AI data-center pivot

BitdeerOfficial doubles down on HPC/AI, pinning 570 MW of Ohio capacity for 2026 and lifting self-mining to 35 EH/s. This move puts the miner squarely in the AI data-center hype cycle. [1]

  • BitdeerOfficial’s HPC/AI expansion — 570 MW from Ohio by Q3 2026; self-mining reaches 35 EH/s; A3 series launched; testing sub-10 J/TH chips; USA factory planned; global power pipeline hits 3 GW. [1]

  • IREN leads the AI pivot, with investors naming BITF, WULF, MARA, CLSK, HIVE, and CIFR as potential beneficiaries. [2]

Why this matters: the bets aren’t just on BTC prices but on how miners finance, build, and operate AI-grade data-center capacity. If AI workloads scale alongside BTC cycles, margins could improve as higher-capital, higher-margin infrastructure comes online. But the flip side is real: capex burn, project delays, and fierce competition could squeeze returns if AI-adjacent demand cools or if execution misses timelines. The Reddit chatter reflects a broad appetite for diversification into AI infrastructure across the sector, with a mix of names offered as potential winners. [2]

Bottom line: Bitdeer’s Ohio plan is a stress test of the “AI infrastructure” thesis for crypto miners and a signal to watch who can translate hardware heft into real data-center value. [1][2]
