AI Now More Profitable Than Bitcoin for Computing Infrastructure, Says Expert

AI surpasses Bitcoin in computing infrastructure profitability.

Crucible founder Meltem Demirors stated that while Bitcoin laid the groundwork for the current AI infrastructure boom, the primary product of computing has become “intelligence” rather than cryptocurrency. According to her, trillions of dollars in capital are now being directed towards AI.

She cited CoreWeave, which started with Ethereum mining, and Crusoe, which mined Bitcoin using flare gas, as examples. Demirors described the shift of miners to AI and high-performance computing as a real risk to Bitcoin’s security, but noted that the difficulty adjustment mechanism allows the network to adapt to the outflow of computing power.
