Bitcoin's apparent demand hit a new high since this year, and it has already entered a phase where supply is in short supply

Comparing news, crypto analyst Darkfost wrote that the apparent demand for Bitcoin reached a record 25,000 units in 2026, indicating that actual spot purchases exceeded the mining of new coins, and that market buyers were stronger than supply. Apparent demand is a daily block subsidy minus daily changes in unused supply for more than a year to measure whether structural accumulation can effectively absorb new supply.

Tether Uruguay Bitcoin mining farm terminated due to power supply differences, project costing around $1.2 billion

In comparison, according to Reuters, Tether stopped Bitcoin mining operations in Uruguay in 2025. According to documents and sources familiar with the matter, the project later came to an end due to a disagreement between Tether and the Uruguayan National Electricity Company UTE on the electricity supply terms. Tether believes that the contract agreement is the minimum amount of electricity that can be increased, while UTE sees this as the maximum quota that cannot be exceeded.

Riot Platforms signs $9.8 billion AI data center lease agreement to accelerate computing infrastructure transformation

Comparatively, Bitcoin mining company Riot Platforms announced that it has signed AI data center lease agreements with two major tech clients, covering 241 MW of critical IT capacity, which is expected to bring in about 9.8 billion US dollars in long-term contract revenue, and drive the company's transformation from a business model centered on Bitcoin mining to a large-scale AI data center developer. The largest agreement was a 191MW build-to-suit (build-to-suit) data center lease agreement signed by Riot with a leading AI lab at the Rockdale campus in Texas, USA. The agreement has an initial term of 20 years and will last until June 2048, and is expected to generate approximately $9.1 billion in contract revenue. The potential value of the agreement will expand further if the customer continues to renew the contract after the end of the underlying term. The contract includes two 5-year renewal options, and if fully executed, the total contract value is expected to increase to approximately $161 billion. Riot said the 191MW project is expected to contribute $7.3 billion to $8.2 billion in cumulative net operating income (NOI) during the initial lease period, contributing an average of around $365 million to $411 million per year. The first 96 MW capacity of the project is expected to be delivered in December 2027, and the entire 191 MW is scheduled to be deployed in June 2028. Meanwhile, revenue from traditional Bitcoin mining operations has declined. Bitcoin mining revenue for the second quarter fell from $1409 million to $1.137 million, while engineering revenue rose from $10.6 million to $37.3 million, and the company's total quarterly revenue increased 14% year over year to $174.2 million. By the end of the second quarter, Riot had more than $1.2 billion in liquid assets, including 11,380 bitcoins worth approximately $666 million, and $548.9 million in cash (of which $77.5 million was restricted cash) to fund the expansion of its AI infrastructure.

Arthur Hayes: Flop Labs will create a decentralized computing power network, and testnet participants will receive about 20% of the token supply

Comparing news, Arthur Hayes published the article “The Book of Genesis” to explain the core ideas and token economy design of his AI/crypto project Flop Labs with mythological narratives. He pointed out that the AI market currently lacks uniform computing power pricing standards, and the definition and pricing of “tokens” vary from model to model. Hayes proposed the construction of Flop Network, a decentralized computing power network, using FLOP as the native token to represent direct claims for computing power (FLOPs), so that AI agents and humans can trade at a globally unified computing power unit price. The FLOP token economy uses a fair launch model, the team is self-funded, and there are no pre-sales. Miners receive FLOP block rewards and inference fees by providing “proof of useful reasoning” (PoUI) mining, and AI agents can use $FLOP to buy computing power (“food”) and obtain lasting memory (“personality”) in combination with decentralized storage. Testnet participants will receive approximately 20% of the token supply (distributed over ten years). Hayes said that if AI agent economic predictions come true, Flop Network's value may far exceed Bitcoin.

Analysis: 8 of the 12 Bitcoin capitulation indicators have been triggered, but historical data has yet to show bottom confirmation

Comparing news, crypto asset management company VanEck's latest report shows that Bitcoin is currently releasing a “capitulation signal” similar to the end of the historical bear market, but the data indicates that the bottom of the market has not been fully confirmed. VanEck said that of the 12 Bitcoin market capitulation indicators currently being tracked, 8 have entered extreme regions, and 12 indicators have also reached trigger levels in the past three months. These indicators mainly measure market pressure factors such as Bitcoin price retracement, miner profitability, and the loss ratio of coin holders. However, historical performance did not show that these signals meant that a short-term bottom had formed. VanEck data shows that when 8 to 12 indicators are triggered simultaneously in history, Bitcoin's average return over the next 90 days is about 12.8%, and the 180-day average return is about 32%, all lower than Bitcoin's long-term average (15.2% for 90 days and 36.3% for 180 days). The relevant signals only showed a comparative advantage over a one-year cycle. Bitcoin is currently down about 49% from its record high in October 2025. The price has recently fluctuated in the range of $62,300 to $66,500. The actual 30-day volatility has dropped to 27.2%, far below the long-term average of about 80%. Miner pressure is still an important risk factor in the current market. The daily revenue of the Bitcoin network fell by about 46% compared to last year, and mining difficulty fell 18.3% from the peak in November 2025, which is one of the biggest declines since China's mining ban in 2021. Some inefficient mining machines have withdrawn from the market. VanEck believes that the current capitulation index is more suitable as a tool to determine the market cycle position rather than a short-term bottoming signal. Investors should pay more attention to cycles of one year or more based on these indicators rather than expecting an immediate strong rebound within the next few months.

Bitcoin mining companies are turning to AI at an accelerated pace, and the valuation of AI/HPC contract miners is significantly higher than that of pure mining companies

Comparatively, as the price of Bitcoin falls and mining yields continue to be pressured, Bitcoin mining companies that have switched to AI and high-performance computing (AI/HPC) are receiving higher valuations and more stable revenue expectations. TerraWULF (WULF), IREN, and Cipher Digital (CIFR) shares have all more than doubled in the past year, while MARA Holdings (MARA), which switched to AI later, fell about 40% over the same period. Currently, the Bitcoin mining hash price has dropped from about 63 US dollars per PH/s in July last year to about 31.8 US dollars, causing more and more mining companies to shut down their devices, and the computing power of the Bitcoin network has also dropped from 1.14 zh/s to about 900 EH/s, a drop of about 21%. According to CoinShares data, as of the first quarter of 2026, the average corporate value ratio of mining companies with AI/HPC contracts was about 12.3 times, while pure Bitcoin mining companies were only 5.9 times; the total number of AI/HPC contracts signed by the entire industry during the same period reached about 70 billion US dollars. Recently, mining companies' AI transformation has further accelerated. Riot Platforms signed a 20-year lease with Anthropic last week, worth approximately $9.1 billion. The market believes that the real scarce assets of mining companies are not Bitcoin itself, but rather low-cost electricity, data center infrastructure, and large-scale computing power operation capabilities. These resources can be used for high-growth computing services such as AI. However, there is still room for recovery in pure Bitcoin mining. CoinShares estimates that if the Bitcoin price returns to its all-time high of about $126,000 in October last year, the hash price may rise back to about $59/PH/s, and mining companies' profitability is expected to improve markedly.
