TechFlow news, on February 21, according to Cryptoslate citing a VanEck report, due to unstable transaction fee income, Bitcoin mining companies are accelerating their transition into artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) businesses.
The report指出 that although network congestion may lead to short-term fee increases, the rise of off-chain solutions such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs), futures markets, Layer-2 networks, and centralized exchanges creates uncertainty around long-term on-chain revenue growth.
It is reported that multiple mining firms including Cipher Mining, Iris Energy, Riot Platforms, and HIVE Digital Technologies have already begun venturing into related businesses.
VanEck expects Bitcoin miners will allocate 20–30% of their power capacity to AI and HPC operations in the future to diversify revenue streams.
