Bitcoin prices continue to adjust, and the days are indeed tough for mining companies. The competition for hash power is intensifying, and cost pressures remain high. The profit margins of traditional mining are being squeezed repeatedly, causing significant fluctuations in mining stocks.

However, this has also driven new opportunities—more and more mining companies are turning their attention to AI data centers. Instead of sticking solely to mining, they are reallocating their hash power resources to participate in the AI wave. This can diversify risks and perhaps even find growth opportunities in new tracks.

From passively enduring cyclical fluctuations to actively seeking business transformation, the "self-rescue" path of mining companies is accelerating. Whether they can regain stability with AI computing power depends largely on execution capability and the alignment of market opportunities.

Mining profits are being squeezed, can shifting to AI data centers turn things around? Sounds promising, but how many companies can actually execute it effectively?

Hash rate revenue ratio has dropped to a historic low. Switching to AI is indeed a practical choice, but it depends on whether these mining companies can keep up with execution. In this wave of transformation, who can survive will still depend on cost control of hash rate and the actual demand matching in the AI market. The profit margins in the mining industry have been squeezed to the limit. Instead of complaining, it's better to see if the ROI cycle of AI data centers can cover hardware investments. Switching to AI is not a magic cure; the key is to improve the efficiency of the hash rate network. To be honest, the golden era of traditional mining has indeed passed. Whether it can establish itself in the AI track still depends on subsequent capital investment and the speed of technological iteration. This turnaround is not so simple; reallocation of hash rate configuration also incurs significant costs, so careful planning is required.

Haha, this move by the mining companies is really forced out of necessity. Switching to AI data centers sounds great, but who knows how it will actually be executed. But looking at this trend, sticking to mining truly has no future.

Mining companies turning to AI is a forced move; to put it nicely, it's a transformation, but in reality, they've been played out by Bitcoin. This time, it's really about who can quickly shed the mining burden; those who get into AI early might still have a chance to survive. Reconfiguring computing power sounds simple, but executing it probably costs a lot of brain cells. Speaking of which, from mining coins to selling computing power, can this move by mining companies succeed? The gamble is quite risky. Just surviving is good enough; don't think too much about growth opportunities. Instead of relying on AI to turn things around, it's better to pray that Bitcoin will rise quickly. Mining companies are really out of options; this transformation needs to be implemented quickly, or the funding chain might break first. It's called "self-rescue," but it really feels like a desperate gamble.

Mining is really being squeezed out, whether shifting to AI data centers is reliable depends on... Anyway, it's better than just holding onto Bitcoin.

Mining profits are no longer enough, now everyone is switching to AI, huh? Feels like the prelude to another round of cutting leeks. --- Relying on AI data centers to make money? Wake up, everyone. This time the competition will be even fiercer... --- Speaking of which, having idle computing power in mining companies is indeed an opportunity, but the execution capability is really worrying. --- Instead of shifting to AI, why not wait for Bitcoin to surge again? Isn't mining huge profits back and more attractive? --- The self-rescue path of forced transformation, honestly, is just being pressed down by the market and rubbed. --- The AI data center boom is so intense, can mining companies really keep up? I have some doubts. --- With such high cost pressures, still stubbornly mining? It's time to think about new ways. --- Reconfiguring computing power sounds good, but in practice, it might just turn into a mess.
