Bitcoin: “The Best Years Are Still Ahead,” Says Sarah Sacrispeyre

While some of the major listed miners are redirecting their machines towards artificial intelligence, Sarah Sacrispeyre, CEO of Meta Mining group, is making the opposite choice: to remain a “pure and hard” Bitcoin miner. Five years after our first interview, the leader who owns one of the largest Bitcoin mining capacities in the Middle East and has “almost tripled” it since 2021, shares her reading of the network, its cycle, and its long-term horizon.

In Brief

The debate sweeping the mining industry in 2026 boils down to one pivot: converting computation farms to artificial intelligence, more profitable in the short term than Bitcoin. According to CoinShares, listed miners could derive up to 70% of their revenues from AI by the end of the year. Sarah Sacrispeyre refuses this turn. A computer engineer, she started mining in 2012, as a student, when a bitcoin was worth under $10.
