Fred Thiel, CEO of Marathon Digital, one of the world’s largest Bitcoin (BTC) mining companies, made critical statements about the future of the industry, the energy war between Bitcoin and Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the major changes in the mining world during a broadcast he participated in.

Fred Thiel, one of the leading figures in the Bitcoin mining and data center infrastructure industry, painted a striking picture of Bitcoin’s future. According to Thiel, the next big move in the market will not only be price-driven but will also be shaped by energy and computing power capacity.

Thiel noted that access to energy is becoming increasingly difficult, particularly in the US. Adding that the massive demand from the AI sector is transforming the energy market, the CEO stated that giant data center operators, known as “Hyperscalers,” are scrambling for land that already has electricity connections. Thiel emphasized the growing value of having access to energy capacity, saying, “Time has become more important than cost. Companies can’t wait until 2029 to run their GPUs; they need energy now.”

Thiel also touched upon the cost of Bitcoin mining equipment, explaining that hardware prices are at historical lows. He stated that costs, which peaked at $80-100 per TeraHash in 2021, have now fallen to $8-9 due to technological innovation and oversupply. He added that this creates a great opportunity for those looking to add new capacity, but puts pressure on the profit margins of miners who have high energy costs.

Responding to investors’ question, “If miners switch to AI, will the security of the Bitcoin network be jeopardized?”, Thiel stated that the Bitcoin blockchain network is currently more than secure and that changes in hash rate do not pose a risk to the network.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
