🤔 When Bitcoin mining is no longer profitable: What are miners turning to?



According to Cryptorank, the current cash cost to mine 1 BTC has risen to around $74,600, and the total cost (include depreciation and SBC stock compensation) reaches up to $137,800.

When the network hashrate surpassed 1 ZH/s—a symbolic milestone—competition increased sharply and mining profits dropped significantly.

This has led many public Bitcoin mining companies (public miners) to begin shifting their capacity toward AI/HPC, where profit margins are much higher than traditional BTC mining.

As a result, the industry is splitting into two clear models:
Infrastructure providers are converting BTC mining data centers to serve AI/HPC computing to optimize profits
Traditional miners continue to operate in a fiercely competitive environment, with profit margins nearly at zero
