About this episode

Jesse discusses the current state of the Bitcoin mining industry, highlighting significant earnings reports and shifts towards AI.

In this NEWS episode of HashrateUp, Jesse breaks down the latest earnings reports, structural shifts, and AI pivots reshaping the Bitcoin mining industry.From Bitdeer's collapsing miner sales and Canaan's $23M quarterly loss to Mara dumping 38% of its Bitcoin treasury and laying off 15% of staff, the signals all point one direction: nobody is buying miners, and the companies that own power are pivoting hard to AI. Meanwhile, AI-focused funds like Situational Awareness LP are quietly accumulating mining stocks, not for the hashrate, but for the energized megawatts underneath.Jesse also covers the Luxor halving retrospective, Bitfufu's Ethiopia outage, the latest Q2 hashrate heatmap, and what an 8 to 50x capex gap between AI data centers and Bitcoin mines means for the future of US hashrate.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 Intro0:24 Bitdeer earnings: 143% inventory surge, 84% drop in machine sales2:12 Canaan Q1: $23M gross loss, joint mining projects4:14 Avalon hydro miner pricing & efficiency gap5:15 Luxor: two years after the halving5:50 Bitfufu Ethiopia outage & "all-in" cost transparency8:21 Situational Awareness LP: AI funds buying miners for power12:41 BlockSpace report: 8…
