Past bets that played out

Canaccord highlights that listed bitcoin miners continue to derive most revenue from BTC mining but are increasingly redeploying power and energy infrastructure toward AI-related hosting and GPU cloud services. Lower capital costs and new financing structures (for example, convertible instruments) are enabling capex into AI, while BTC fundamentals remain healthy — Canaccord estimates all-in mining costs near $30k–$40k with BTC trading near highs. Corporate restructuring, such as Hut 8’s spinout, may help separate and clarify value between mining and energy/infrastructure businesses.
