Bitcoin mining firm Galaxy Digital is exploring the potential of AI in response to a mining slowdown caused by competition and rising difficulty.
Galaxy Digital has announced a preliminary agreement with a US hyperscaler to convert its 800 MW Helios mining facility in Texas for high-performance computing.
Other major mining companies, including Riot Platforms and Marathon Digital, are also considering AI expansions as a way to unlock new revenue streams.
In its Q3 earnings report, Galaxy Digital reported a 27% drop in Bitcoin production, but saw growth in operating revenue and remains on track with its reorganization plans.
