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.

Goldman Sachs Raises CoreWeave Price Target to $139, Maintains Neutral Rating

Comparative news, according to Goldman Sachs's August 20 research report, CoreWeave's second-quarter revenue was in line with expectations. The EBIT profit margin was 200 basis points higher than the market consensus, and the 2026 revenue guidance exceeded market expectations by 1%. The revenue backlog increased 5% month-on-month to US$104 billion, adding more than US$25 billion in committed orders since the third quarter. Active electricity installed capacity increased from 1 GW in the first quarter to more than 1.5 GW, and the contracted electricity installed capacity reached 4.2 GW. Goldman Sachs raised its 12-month price target from $121 to $139, which has 53% upside from the current share price and maintains a neutral rating. Goldman Sachs believes that CoreWeave's short-term certainty is clear: demand continues to lead supply, intergenerational pricing for old and new GPUs remains high, and production capacity is expanding as scheduled. Next-generation chips (Blackwell, Vera Rubin) continue to hit new highs, and recent A100 contract deliveries have been extended to 2029. The share of enterprise customers has increased (Caterpillar, IBM, Nissan, ZF), and demand for AI computing power is spreading from tech giants to the real economy. Goldman Sachs expects EBITDA to increase from $3.1 billion in 2025 to $31.3 billion in 2028. A neutral rating reflects waiting for software and platform services to become a more definite contributor to profit margins before making more positive judgments.

Goldman Sachs: The US Treasury can reduce long-term debt by 20 to 40 bps, but it is difficult to change the final direction

Comparing news, Goldman Sachs MarketStrats believes that the US Treasury's expansion of long-term US bond repurchases can indeed ease long-term pressure in stages. Referring to OperationTwist in 1961 and the term extension plan in 2011, policy instruments have historically brought about a 10-20 bps decline in long-term interest rates; Goldman Sachs judged that a phased decline of 20-40 bps in long-term returns is also possible through repurchases, adjustments to the issuance period, and balance sheet management. But Goldman Sachs is cautious about long-term results. Behind the current rise in long-term interest rates, the driving force is not only a technical mismatch between supply and demand, but also continuing fiscal deficits, inflationary uncertainty, and a rise in the center to balance real interest rates. The report also emphasizes that AI capital expenditure, data center construction, power infrastructure, and re-industrialization are also continuing to drive the capital needs of the whole society. Repurchases by the Ministry of Finance can ease the long-term supply that the market needs to absorb in the short term, but it is difficult to change the general trend of capital becoming more expensive and long-term interest rates rising at the center.

Bitcoin mining companies' AI capital expenditure in the first half of the year exceeded revenue by 15 times

Comparative news, according to Cointelegraph, the latest report by BlocksBridge Consulting shows that nine listed Bitcoin mining companies had AI and high performance computing (HPC) business capital expenditure of 5.11 billion US dollars in the first half of 2026, with related revenue of only US$340 million during the same period, with an input-output ratio of about 15:1. This highlights the large upfront investment required for transformation. In a sample of 15 mining companies and AI data center companies, the total capital expenditure for the 2026 reporting period reached US$30.7 billion, an increase of 42.6% over the full year of 2025. Despite investment far exceeding revenue, AI and HPC revenue continued to grow at an accelerated pace, with nine mining companies rising 52% month-on-month to $206 million in the second quarter, led by Core Scientific, TeraWolf, and Bitdeer. BlocksBridge points out that although mining companies have power and land advantages, conversion to AI-ready production capacity still requires significant investment in substations, cooling systems, network equipment, and GPUs.

The wave of AI debt financing in the US heats up and may attract market attention in September

Comparatively, the US Treasury recently relieved the pressure on the US bond market by expanding the long-term treasury bond repurchase program, but a wave of corporate bond financing driven by artificial intelligence infrastructure construction is heating up. As investment in data centers, high-end chips, and AI services continues to expand, tech giants such as Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta, and Oracle are increasing their bond financing efforts. The market anticipates that the issuance of US investment-grade corporate bonds will peak after Labor Day in September, and the scale may reach 200 billion US dollars. According to the data, US investment-grade corporate bond issuance has increased 38% year over year since 2026, and the annual issuance scale is expected to reach a record 2.1 trillion US dollars. The large amount of new supply is related to AI capital expenditure. In the past few years, tech giants have mainly relied on cash flow to support AI layout, but with the escalation of industry competition and the rapid expansion of long-term capital demand for data centers, electricity, computing power equipment, etc., companies have begun to rely more on bond market financing. The market's focus is also shifting from whether AI can generate profits to whether huge infrastructure investments can generate sufficient returns. Some investors are concerned that the expansion of AI debt is changing the allocation of capital in the fixed income market, and that new capital competition between technology corporate bonds and US Treasury bonds may form. Andrzej Skiba, head of fixed income at RBC Global Asset Management, said the current AI-related bond supply is close to the limit of not disrupting the market. Analysts pointed out that if future AI revenue growth cannot cover huge investments such as data centers and chip purchases, some capital expenses may face the risk of insufficient returns. The market is also beginning to compare the current AI financing boom with the internet bubble around 2000, wary that capital is being invested faster than the business model is being realized. Although the US Treasury Department's repurchase program helps improve the liquidity of the treasury bond market, it cannot change the trend of simultaneous growth in government debt and corporate financing needs. The large-scale issuance of corporate bonds in September may become a new stress test for the US bond market.

Trump says the scale of AI may surpass the Internet, and calls for regulations to avoid hindering the development of the industry

Comparing news, US President Trump said that artificial intelligence (AI) may have more influence than the Internet, surpassing anything humans have ever seen, and called for strengthened regulations while avoiding restrictions on the development of the AI industry. Trump said that the US is currently leading the world in the field of AI, and the government should promote AI infrastructure construction, including speeding up the construction of data centers and supporting power facilities. AI companies are building new power generation facilities to power data centers rather than relying on old grids, he said. Trump also urged state and local officials to support AI data center projects, believing that they would generate significant jobs, taxes, and investment. However, he also acknowledged that the AI industry is facing pressure on its public image, and that some regions are objecting to the electricity consumption, water use, and environmental impact brought about by data centers.
