Bitfarms отказывается от майнинга биткоина и переходит в ИИ.
CEO компании считает, что модель GPU-as-a-Service принесет больше прибыли, чем майнинг.
В планах превратить дата-центр в Вашингтоне в первый ИИ-хаб.

Майнинговая компания Bitfarms заявила, что в течение ближайших двух лет планирует полностью свернуть операции по добыче биткоина и переориентироваться на создание инфраструктуры для высокопроизводительных вычислений (HPC) и приложений искусственного интеллекта (ИИ).

Среди причин — уменьшение прибыльности майнинга из-за падения цен на биткоин и увеличения энергетических затрат. В частности, задолженность биткоин-майнеров выросла до $12,7 млрд.

В свою очередь, Bitfarms сообщила о чистом убытке в $46 млн за III квартал при доходе $68 млн, что отражает сложность рынка после сокращения доходности майнинга.

Bitfarms объявила, что ее объект в Вашингтоне (США) станет первой площадкой, которая будет полностью переоборудована под HPC/ШИ-нагрузки. Мощность объекта составит 18 МВт, а завершение работ запланировано на декабрь 2026 года. Новый дата-центр будет поддерживать жидкостное охлаждение и графические процессоры NVIDIA GB300, которые предназначены для ИИ-задач и научных вычислений.

«Мы продолжаем реализовывать нашу стратегию развития инфраструктуры HPC/ШИ с полностью профинансированной цепочкой поставок и планируем конвертировать наш объект в Вашингтоне для поддержки NVIDIA GB300 с современным жидкостным охлаждением», — заявил CEO Бен Ганьон.

По его словам, даже несмотря на то, что вашингтонская площадка составляет менее 1% от всего портфеля компании, ее переоборудование под GPU-as-a-Service может «генерировать большую операционную прибыль, чем когда-либо ранее в сфере биткоин-майнинга».

Ганьон также отметил, что переход к HPC создает финансовую основу, которая позволит компании постепенно сворачивать майнинговый бизнес в 2026-2027 годах, сохраняя при этом стабильный денежный поток для операционных расходов и обслуживания долга.

Компания подписала соглашение на $128 млн с крупным публичным американским поставщиком инфраструктуры для дата-центров, который обеспечит все критические IT-компоненты и материалы для модернизации вашингтонской площадки.

По данным Bitfarms, новый объект будет иметь индекс энергоэффективности PuE на уровне 1,2-1,3, что является одним из лучших показателей в отрасли.

Как подчеркнул Бен Ганьон, UEX-модель Bitfarms — это стратегия, направленная на то, чтобы «обеспечить устойчивый источник дохода после завершения эпохи массового биткоин-майнинга» и интегрировать криптоотрасль в новую экономику искусственного интеллекта.

Напомним, что переход Bitfarms в сектор ИИ происходит на фоне массовых изменений в отрасли: другие крупные майнеры, такие как Cipher и TeraWulf, уже привлекли инвестиции от SoftBank и Google для создания дата-центров, а MARA объявила о слиянии майнинга с высокопроизводительными вычислениями.

The Future Outlook of Bitcoin

Bitcoin: A Mid-2026 Perspective Bitcoin analyst Will Clemente assesses the asset's outlook, arguing that despite a challenging period, it now presents a compelling long-term value opportunity. The current bear market, while less severe in peak drawdown than 2022, has been difficult due to a lack of clear catalysts, underperformance versus assets like gold, and persistent ETF outflows. However, key negative pressures are showing signs of abating. Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs), a major source of sell pressure during the bull market, are slowing accumulation or shifting strategies. While quantum computing remains a long-term concern, its risk is likely significantly priced in at current levels. Fundamentally, the Bitcoin network remains decentralized and healthy, with a robust global node distribution. Although hash rate has declined as miners pivot to AI/HPC, the network's difficulty adjustment ensures security, and the resilience suggests a diverse, non-public mining base. Valuation metrics indicate Bitcoin is in deeply undervalued territory. It is consolidating near its 2021 highs, below the 200-week EMA, with weekly RSI showing a bullish divergence from oversold levels. The MVRV ratio is at historically low levels, signaling the market's aggregate cost basis is near the current price. Long-term holders have resumed accumulation, and trading volume across spot, ETF, and derivatives markets has dried up to multi-year lows. Implied volatility is cheap, and futures basis is compressed, reflecting a complete lack of speculative interest. The core bullish thesis hinges on seller exhaustion. After a year of selling from DATs and ETFs, and with quantum risks largely discounted, the pool of remaining motivated sellers appears limited. A potential catalyst could be steady, price-insensitive inflows from large institutions adding small strategic allocations to portfolios for diversification, given Bitcoin's recent low correlation with other assets. Conclusion: Bitcoin is considered "cheap" with most risks priced in. While a final leg down is possible, the network is healthy, and long-term holders are buying. Strategies include dollar-cost averaging, waiting for a definitive catalyst or price reversal, or entering a position now while using inexpensive options to hedge against further downside. The current setup suggests an interesting period ahead for the orange coin.

Why the Memory Chip Shortage Is Reshaping Portfolios Across Semiconductors in 2026

The global memory chip shortage, driven by AI infrastructure demand, is reshaping markets in 2026. NAND and DRAM contract prices have surged up to 90% as production capacity shifts from consumer chips to high-bandwidth memory for AI. This has impacted consumer electronics, with even Apple raising prices. DRAM is central to the shortage, essential for all AI hardware, and its price action has made it a tradable commodity. Micron holds a key position as its high-bandwidth memory for AI accelerators is sold out into 2027, driving record revenue and making its stock a direct trade on the scarcity premium. SanDisk benefits similarly from the NAND shortage, with long-term supply agreements locking in elevated pricing. The core dynamic is a multi-year mismatch between surging AI demand and slow memory supply expansion, with supply agreements extending to 2027. For traders, the key question is the duration of elevated pricing. Platforms like WEEX now offer access to these assets via USDT-settled products, providing consolidated access to this cross-market narrative.

Grayscale Clarifies Whether the Cryptocurrency Market Growth-Promoting Clarity Act Will Be Passed This Year

Zach Pandl, the Research Director at Grayscale, stated that the passage of the CLARITY Act—legislation aimed at establishing a comprehensive regulatory framework for the crypto market in the U.S.—is unlikely to occur in Congress this year. According to Pandl, the Senate's tight schedule and the political climate in an election year make bipartisan agreement on the bill difficult. Pandl noted that the failure of the Clarity Act will not directly impact Bitcoin's role as a store of value, the operation of core blockchains, or the growth of stablecoin payments in the short term. The U.S. crypto sector has operated for nearly 17 years without such comprehensive market structure legislation. However, he warned that the absence of a clear regulatory framework could slow the influx of new investment and capital formation in the U.S. The proposed law aims to open new avenues for capital formation via blockchain, support the development of tokenized securities markets, and create a comprehensive oversight system for digital asset intermediaries, along with various consumer, investor, and software developer protections. Pandl believes federal regulators, particularly the SEC, will continue to fill regulatory gaps even without new legislation, issuing rules in areas like tokenized securities in the coming months. While significant progress has been made under the current administration regarding institutional custody, banking access, staking, and crypto ETPs, Pandl cautioned that without comprehensive market structure laws, much new investment and developer activity may shift outside the United States.

Michael Saylor Identifies the Next Financial Opportunity Worth Billions

Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy Inc. (Nasdaq: MSTR), identified digital credit as the next billion-dollar business opportunity in finance. In an August 7th post on X, he suggested entrepreneurs explore this category. Saylor's post included a chart showing the effective yields of four of Strategy's digital credit products as of 11:10 AM EDT. Leading was Stride Preferred Shares (STRD) with a 15.29% yield, followed by Stretch Preferred Shares (STRC) at 12.63%, Strike Preferred Shares (STRK) at 12.08%, and Strife Preferred Shares (STRF) at 10.38%. These preferred securities allow Strategy to raise capital from income-seeking investors, offering various dividend rates, risk levels, and positions in the company's capital structure. Strategy has developed a suite of preferred shares classified as digital credit instruments. For instance, the Stretch Preferred Shares (STRC) are perpetual, variable-rate securities. This approach applies established credit market structures to companies with digital asset-based balance sheets, connecting capital-seeking issuers with yield-seeking investors through Wall Street-like products. Saylor positioned these as a "digital credit stack," built upon but not backed by Strategy's bitcoin reserve, expanding the company's capital access while targeting yield-focused buyers. The billion-dollar potential lies in creating a scalable, replicable business model where issuers can raise capital via tailored income securities and investors can select products based on yield, risk, and capital priority. For Strategy, this model attracts capital from investors seeking income without direct bitcoin exposure, while the company maintains its broader bitcoin strategy. Growing dividend obligations have influenced how Strategy manages its bitcoin holdings and cash reserves, with the company selling some bitcoin to fund preferred share payments and build a USD reserve for liquidity.

Cyprus Plans to Conduct On-Site Inspections of Cryptocurrency Storage Facilities

The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) will conduct a series of on-site and documentary inspections of licensed Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs) from the second half of 2026 to the first half of 2027. This initiative, coordinated by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) under its 2026 Common Supervisory Actions, aims to strengthen the operational resilience of digital asset custody services in Cyprus and across the EU. The audits will focus on CASPs authorized for custody, assessing their operational security, technical infrastructure maturity, and management of risks associated with distributed ledger technology. Key areas of scrutiny will include governance and control systems, private key and wallet storage security, access controls, transaction monitoring, incident response, smart contract security, and third-party risk management. CySEC stated that compliance readiness will be a factor in selecting firms for inspection. The action aligns Cyprus with broader EU supervisory priorities, which view operational resilience in digital asset custody as critical for financial stability and investor protection. This standardized enforcement framework seeks to harmonize regulatory approaches as the crypto ecosystem integrates further with traditional finance.
