Seventy percent of the world's top ten Bitcoin mining companies are now relying on AI revenue to navigate the ongoing bear market, according to CryptoSlate. Leading firms such as Marathon, CleanSpark, Iris Energy, TeraWulf, and Core Scientific have already launched AI and high-performance computing (HPC) operations or are generating income from these ventures. The remaining three companies are in the planning stages of similar initiatives. AI hosting revenues have generally surpassed traditional mining, with annualized income per megawatt exceeding traditional mining by approximately 50%. As electricity shortages and data center demand surge, the traditional "computing power rankings" of mining companies are being replaced by "AI contracts and stable cash flows."
