Bitcoin Hashrate Drops as Miners Switch to AI


A significant drop in the network's computing power is being driven by a technological rival.

Major Bitcoin miners are increasingly unplugging their mining rigs and repurposing their data centers for AI compute.

For years, miners chased BTC rewards.
Now some are chasing AI compute instead.

The great divergence

Historically, Bitcoin’s hashrate (the purple/pink band) and its price (the white line) have moved in tandem. Mining industry players that plug in to capture the profits typically the hashrate higher.

Recently, a massive spike pushed the network near an unprecedented 1.2K EH/s in early 2026.

However, a sharp and dramatic plunge in the hashrate is clearly visible.

Now that Bitcoin prices are under severe strain, miners are capitulating and pivoting to AI.

The profit margins for mining cannot compete with the astronomical premiums tech companies are willing to pay for AI computing power.

It requires massive amounts of electricity and advanced cooling infrastructure to train and run large language models (LLMs). These are the two things that Bitcoin possesses in abundance.

Publicly traded mining giants like Core Scientific, Bit Digital, and Iris Energy have been retrofitting their facilities to house high-end GPUs for AI clients.

Bitcoin mining currently generates between $57 and $129 in revenue per megawatt. For comparison, AI data centers can produce $200 to $500 per megawatt using the exact same power capacity.

According to late 2025 and early 2026 reports from Quantum Foundry and Disruption Banking, major miners are locking in massive long-term contracts. For instance, IREN (formerly Iris Energy) has bagged a $9.7 billion AI cloud service agreement with Microsoft. Meanwhile,

Michael Saylor's Bitcoin [BTC] strategy continues to stand strong, no matter how much the market goes up or down. In a recent post on X, he hinted that Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) is not done yet and plans to keep accumulating Bitcoin.

If you look closely, Saylor's Strategy is doing more than just "buy and hold." Behind the scenes, the company is raising money, like selling shares, to keep buying more Bitcoin.

This helps them collect a large portion of Bitcoin's limited supply on their balance sheet. This approach shows that Saylor strongly believes in Bitcoin as a long-term asset, even when the market is uncertain.

Market conditions are raising eyebrows

That being said, the current market reflects strong fear among retail investors, with Bitcoin hovering around $68,578 and the Crypto Fear & Greed Index firmly in the "extreme fear" zone.

Charles Hoskinson Sparks New Debate on the Future of Crypto and Blockchain
Charles Hoskinson, the visionary founder behind Cardano and co-founder of Ethereum, is once again making waves across the crypto industry with his latest insights on decentralization, regulation, and long-term blockchain adoption.
In a recent discussion, Hoskinson emphasized that the next phase of crypto growth will not be driven by hype or speculation, but by real-world utility, governance, and scalability. According to him, projects that fail to deliver tangible use cases and sustainable ecosystems may struggle to survive in an increasingly competitive market.
He also highlighted the importance of regulatory clarity, stating that governments worldwide are slowly moving toward frameworks that could either accelerate innovation or stifle it if handled poorly. Hoskinson believes that balanced regulation is key—ensuring investor protection while still allowing decentralized technologies to flourish.
Another major point he addressed is the evolution of blockchain infrastructure. With networks like Cardano focusing on peer-reviewed development and layered architecture, Hoskinson argues that the industry is transitioning from experimental systems to enterprise-grade solutions capable of supporting global finance, identity systems, and supply chains.
Interestingly, he didn’t shy away from criticizing short-term market behavior. He warned that excessive focus on price movements—especially in assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum—can distract from the bigger picture of building a decentralized future.
Hoskinson’s long-term vision remains clear: a world where blockchain empowers individuals, reduces reliance on centralized institutions, and creates more transparent, inclusive financial systems. However, he also acknowledged that achieving this vision will require collaboratio

PEPE Losing Momentum: Is the Meme Coin Rally Fading?
The once-explosive rise of Pepe is beginning to show clear signs of slowing down, raising questions about whether the meme coin frenzy is starting to cool off.
After delivering massive gains fueled by hype, community engagement, and speculative trading, PEPE is now facing declining volume, weakening price action, and fading social sentiment. Analysts suggest that the token may be entering a consolidation phase—or potentially a deeper correction—after its aggressive rally.
One of the key concerns is the drop in trading momentum. As liquidity shifts toward larger and more established assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, meme coins such as PEPE often struggle to maintain investor attention. This rotation typically happens when market participants become more risk-aware or uncertain about short-term volatility.
Another factor contributing to the slowdown is profit-taking by early investors. Those who entered during PEPE’s early surge are now securing gains, creating selling pressure that limits upward movement. Without fresh capital entering the market, sustaining bullish momentum becomes increasingly difficult.
Additionally, meme coins inherently rely heavily on community hype and viral trends. As online buzz decreases and newer tokens emerge, maintaining relevance becomes a major challenge. Unlike utility-driven projects, PEPE lacks strong fundamentals, making it more vulnerable to shifts in sentiment.
However, it’s not all bearish. Some traders believe that this cooling phase could be a healthy reset, allowing the market to stabilize before a potential next move. If broader crypto sentiment improves and retail interest returns, PEPE could still see renewed activity.
