About this episode

This episode explores the future of Bitcoin mining, focusing on efficiency, capital strategies, and the impact of AI.

Trying to understand Bitcoin mining in 2026? This episode breaks it down in a clear, practical way, from Bitcoin ETFs and treasury strategies to AI, power access, and mining economics. Beau Turner is joined by Nico Smid, Founder of Digital Mining Solutions, and Cindy Feng, Founder of BitcoinMiningStock.io, to explore how Bitcoin mining is moving beyond raw hash rate growth. They explain why the Zeta Hash milestone marks a shift toward efficiency, capital discipline, and smarter energy and treasury strategies, while also unpacking how AI and high-performance computing (HPC) are reshaping mining infrastructure, ASIC cycles, and mining stocks, revealing where capital and opportunity are really flowing.
