Bitcoin miners spent years building massive amounts of power and data center infrastructure. AI companies may have just found a more profitable use for it.
In this episode of The Daily Wolf, Scott Melker breaks down Riot Platforms’ $9.1 billion computing deal with Anthropic and why publicly traded Bitcoin miners are increasingly pivoting toward AI infrastructure as the economics of mining become more difficult.
Scott also explains why the SEC appears ready to move forward with major crypto rulemaking without waiting for the Clarity Act, why Trump Media is pulling back from parts of its crypto strategy, and what Bybit’s lawsuit against North Korea could actually accomplish.
