The business of running specialised hardware to validate Bitcoin transactions in return for block rewards, usually sited where electricity is cheapest.
BitFuFu and Finloop have launched HASH, a 12-month token that pays holders in BTC from mining output. It runs on hashrate BitFuFu already manages, so the likelier effect is a wider buyer pool for existing capacity.
Reality
BitFuFu says it may terminate its 80 MW Ethiopian mining deal after paying $4.1 million and installing about 13,700 rigs. The cash is under 1% of 2025 revenue; the larger risk is a power supplier threatening to seize collateral.
Reality
CleanSpark sold or delivered 702 BTC in September against 529 BTC mined, taking its holdings down 173 BTC to 13,530. It will report mining figures quarterly from now on, so the next read on that balance comes less often.
Reality
Binance will close its bitcoin mining pool on Nov. 10 after its hashrate fell about 65% to roughly 9.2 EH/s, leaving miners four weeks to move. Foundry USA, AntPool and F2Pool hold 64.2% of hashrate, and the 9.2 EH/s left is under 1% of it.
Reality
BitFuFu and Finloop launched the Hashrate Token, a 12-month BTC-denominated note paid from newly mined Bitcoin and open only to eligible investors. Holders take mining-output and Bitcoin price risk in place of a borrower's credit risk.
Reality
The CoinShares mining ETF WGMI fell 10.7% on October 14 while bitcoin fell roughly 2%, Alpaca market data show. Gartner's neocloud warning and a hotter inflation report arrived the same day, so one session cannot separate them.
Reality
Binance will shut Binance Pool at 07:00 UTC on Nov. 10, 2026, 28 days after announcing the closure on Oct. 13. Hashrate sent afterward is not accepted and shares are not credited, so every rig needs a new pool by then.
Perspective Coverage

SWI Group raised €800 million at a €6.1 billion valuation and is selling the last three Kazakh bitcoin mines of Genesis Digital. The cash is new equity, Cryptopolitan reported, and the mines' sale price was not disclosed.
Reality
IREN shares rose 5% premarket on a reported Anthropic cloud contract that neither company has confirmed. CoinShares puts miners' AI and HPC backlog above $100 billion with only about 550 MW billing, so a signature is the first of several steps to revenue.
Reality
Riot Platforms has until December 31 to refinance or repay a loan facility of up to $573 million for its 191-megawatt AI data-center project. The debt has no recourse to the parent, so a missed takeout would fall on the Rockdale project's assets while Riot's cash and bitcoin stay largely outside the lenders' claim.
Reality
MARA Holdings moved 996 bitcoin worth about $81m to Galaxy Digital on October 9, a transfer the analytics firm Lookonchain flagged as a possible sale. The on-chain data cannot confirm a sale, and MARA's filings already show its treasury fell to 35,577 bitcoin from 49,951 a year earlier.
Reality
Bitcoin miners cut their reserves from 1.9 million BTC at the end of 2025 to about 1.19 million, near all-time lows, Cryptopolitan reported. Some of the selling is tied to AI data-center builds, and miners' shares are now sliding back from their summer peaks.
Reality
Kazakhstan's July decree lets oil producers supply flared-gas power to crypto miners, as Crusoe did before assembling 10 gigawatts of AI projects. Crusoe sold those flare operations to NYDIG, so AI demand in Kazakhstan more likely lands on new grid capacity.
Reality
Riot Platforms repaid its $200 million Coinbase Credit loan early, freeing 5,821 bitcoin, about 51% of its holdings, from collateral. Skipping seven months of 6.15% interest saves about $7 million and leaves its bitcoin unpledged while it expands data centers for AI tenants.
Reality
Duquesne's second-quarter filing pairs $64.7 million of Bitdeer with $23.1 million of Hyperliquid Strategies, and part of the funding came from leaving traditional semiconductors.
Reality
Public miners have announced $70 billion to $100 billion of AI and HPC contracts. Spread across 12-to-15-year terms that is roughly $6 billion a year, and 550 of about 4,000 contracted megawatts are earning it today.
Reality
The renamed GCPU tracks an index of high-performance computing firms, half of them GPU cloud operators and half converts from mining, on Grayscale's view that grid-connected capacity stays scarce for years.
Reality
Rothschild Redburn began coverage of TeraWulf at Neutral with a $15 target in August 2026. The company has 102 megawatts operating against 839 contracted, and its lease revenue runs at about 13% of what the Anthropic contract will eventually pay.
Reality
Its second-quarter report puts the network hashrate about 50% below trend and blames the post-halving cycle and Texas power prices alongside the AI pivot, so the 50% measures the halving and the power bill as much as it measures who is outbidding whom.
Reality
Lookonchain spotted 1,292 coins moving to Marathon through FalconX on September 15. With a 1,000-coin purchase in June, the miner has bought back 2,292 of the 20,880 it sold for $1.5 billion, at a higher price.
