JUST IN: MARA CEO Fred Thiel says AI pays more than Bitcoin mining. “Today, power is the thing, which is why ourselves and many of our peers have pivoted. Because you get a lot more money per electron if you're doing it for AI than for Bitcoin mining.” “We sit on an asset called land and power, which I can convert to AI, which gives me a much higher return.” Thiel says MARA will not shut down immediately: “We can mine Bitcoin up until the electrons have to be redirected to the data center.” "It starts getting pretty expensive to mine Bitcoin when the alternative use of energy is AI.”

BIG NEWS! The Bitcoin Mining Museum has officially evolved into the new Bitcoin Discovery Center. A 30,000 sq ft facility in Dallas, TX that will house the Museum, an Education Center working with youth, a Bitcoin art gallery, and the world’s first Bitcoin storefront. It will also include an Event Center available to book for Bitcoin-themed weddings, conference side events, meetups, and more—all under a new nonprofit status. We have done SO MUCH legwork to get here. Now we need YOU, the Bitcoin community, to help us reach a grand opening. We have already received $25,000 this morning from an OG donor. For Whales / OGs / PubCos interested in giving back to the community through a sizeable contribution, naming rights are available. DMs are open. Our Museum has FINALLY found a home. Our goal is an orange ribbon-cutting grand opening by Summer 2026 with a full house. Nothing like this has ever been done in 17 years of Bitcoin history. We can accept USD and Bitcoin. Visit our new website for more 👇

THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!!! Been working like a dog for a launch this week.. I'm trying to be compact here... bear with me: Let's wrap up the last 6 months. Since the first BTCHEL event last year, we have: • Upgraded the BTCHEL Hub from a temporary pop-up shop to a permanent and versatile physical space for local bitcoiners. You're welcome to check it out on Fridays when we have open doors and free entry! • Promoted Kaisu Hyvärinen, an experienced event producer as the company's COO and hired new talent; Rachel Geyer, the chairman of European Bitcoin Energy Association, to lead a new event we're launching. Welcome to our team, Rachel! • Raised a seed stage funding round of 100,000€ on a million-euro valuation for the company. We now have two prominent Finnish bitcoin mining companies on board around the year. Now, what's next for 2026? Today marks the 200-day countdown to this year's BTCHEL WEEK and thus we start to push the momentum for real. We launch a new, european wide bitcoin mining industry event similar to what they have in the US... it's about time we have our own in Europe. It's called the EUROPEAN MINING SUMMIT 2026 or EMS in short. EMS is the must-attend industry event for anyone with an interest in bitcoin mining in Europe. Miners, hardware manufacturers, hosts, pools, power plants and the whole energy sector. Our goal is to bring as much hashrate to Europe as possible. This has a tremendous impact for Europe's energy independence, abundance and decarbonisation. Now that we have our trademark industry event where we serve our corporate clients, we can now double down on HC cypherpunk and bitcoin pleb culture at BTCHEL2026. We are committed to staying true to the community ethos at the main event, so be prepared to see the most audacious and unapologetic bitcoin event in September. For BTCHEL, our vision is the actualization of the global Bitcoin Standard, and we are taking care of the Nordics by becoming the most influential Bitcoin media in our region. For that reason, we are sponsoring two other bitcoin conferences here this year: Bitcoin Copenhagen on March 21st and Bitcoin Symposium in Stockholm on April 24th. We want to show support to different initiatives accelerating the local bitcoin adoption in the Nordics with us. I know the market sentiment for bitcoin has not been the best lately, but I'm more bullish than ever. Bear with us through 2026 🧡

VanEck CEO Jan van Eck on CNBC: “There’s something else going on within the Bitcoin community that non-crypto people need to know about. And that is: ultimately, VanEck has been around before Bitcoin. We will walk away from Bitcoin if we think the thesis is fundamentally broken. We don’t right now, but you always have to look at the underlying technology and the crypto. What the Bitcoin community has been asking itself is: Is there enough encryption in Bitcoin, because quantum computing is coming? And secondly: Is there enough privacy in Bitcoin? And so a lot of Bitcoin OGs or maxis have been looking at Zcash. Zcash is a token. It’s sort of related to Bitcoin with a lot more privacy. The kind of garbage that we got about Bitcoin four years ago was: ‘It’s used for all bad illicit behavior.’ But now everyone kind of realizes that when you move money around on the Bitcoin blockchain, you can see it. You can see it move from one wallet to another. And a lot of people are looking for more privacy.”

Our acquisition of three Mississippi #Bitcoin mining data centers is complete and initial operations have already begun, boosting $CLSK's operating #hashrate to over 15 EH/s. In nearby Georgia, we have invested over $700 million into energy infrastructure, miners, buildings, and job creation, while contributing tens of millions of dollars to communities in the form of taxes and local margins on #energy bills. We expect to bring the same level of care and attention to Mississippi that we are known for in Georgia. “Expanding into a new state is an important milestone for our company and we are looking forward to partnering with the communities we are joining. By maximizing the grid services capabilities of bitcoin miners, we aim to create jobs and foster economic growth that benefits both our new neighbors and our shareholders. Our investment in Mississippi is one more step in the direction of the shared prosperity that Bitcoin promises.” -CEO Zach Bradford Full release:

Did I spam bitcoin? At Braiins, our focus is simple: help miners mine more bitcoin. We love bitcoin. To us, it’s the only truly decentralized digital money. But every once in a while, we’ve used a block to do something else too: mark a moment worth remembering. Leaving a message in a block isn’t exactly new. Satoshi did it in the first one: “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.” A newspaper headline, timestamped into history. We’ve followed Satoshi’s example a few times since. Like when El Salvador declared bitcoin legal tender, or when the ESG crowd came for bitcoin mining. And, on a more personal note, when I asked Summer Meng to marry me, which we also captured in this video. Those messages will remain on the bitcoin timechain forever. So, did I spam bitcoin?

This house and hot tub are heated by bitcoin miners. Electricity turned into heat AND money. It's a no brainer, but what few realize is it's also the ultimate trojan horse to secure bitcoin's future 💡 Let me explain. Mining is a cutthroat industry with slim margins and home mining is no different. In most cases, it makes no economical sense to mine at home. But it does make sense to heat your home, and bitcoin miners are great heaters 🔥 It's infrastructure. It's utility. And once it's in your home, hashrate is being decentralized. When hundreds of millions of homes & businesses around the world are using hashrate heating Then the network becomes much more secure and decentralized. And any govt intervention (look up Executive Order 6102) becomes a lot more difficult to pull off. Try outlawing bitcoin and telling people they can't heat their homes. See how that goes. Try taking our hot tubs. You can't take our hot tubs! These dual-purpose mining and heating use cases are the Trojan horse that makes Bitcoin even more unstoppable. Thoughts?

BITCOIN RAILS #46: BITCOIN MINING IN THE AGE OF AI | with MARA CEO Fred Thiel 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: In response to the AI-driven shock in global demand for computing power, large players in the Bitcoin mining industry have been forced to make significant strategic shifts to remain competitive. MARA — the largest Bitcoin miner in the world by hashrate — is emerging as one of the more well-positioned beneficiaries of these changing tides, having transitioned from an “asset-light” strategy (via hosted mining at third-party facilities) to an “asset-heavy” approach (owning its own land, power, and infrastructure) just ahead of the AI compute wave in 2024/25. I sat down with MARA CEO Fred Thiel to discuss how these shifting industry dynamics are playing out in practice — as well as his perspective on how key mining-related security and infrastructure issues may evolve in the coming months and years. In this episode, we cover: — How MARA scaled from near-zero hash rate in 2020 to the largest Bitcoin miner globally by the end of 2023 — Key differences between operating Bitcoin mining facilities versus AI data centers, and where the two models meaningfully intersect — Why ownership of power generation — rather than reliance on PPAs — may represent a durable competitive edge for miners and AI data center operators over time — Why Bitcoin may be entering its “IPO phase,” and why recent price corrections could reflect increasing market maturity rather than structural weakness We also explore more technical and often under-discussed topics, such as heat reuse, open-source mining technologies, and the implications of US policy goals around Bitcoin mining. This episode offers a grounded, operator-level view of where Bitcoin mining is headed, informed by one of the most influential leaders in the public mining sector. This episode of Bitcoin Rails is powered by: — Best In Slot (Best in Slot | BRC2.0 🧑‍🍳) — the leading API for Ordinals and BRC-20 data aggregation and indexing. — Spark (Lightspark) — a statechains implementation advancing Bitcoin-powered payments. — Citrea (Citrea | Mainnet Live 🍊🍋) — a leading Bitcoin rollup technology and BitVM alliance contributor. TIMESTAMPS 📌 00:00 Intro 01:09 From Marathon Patent Group to MARA 06:35 Why Owning Infrastructure is Key 07:46 First Public Companies Mining Bitcoin 09:54 Data Centers For AI vs Bitcoin Mining Facilities 14:07 How AI Data Centers Will Look Going Forward 15:37 How MARA is Diversifying From Bitcoin Mining 19:03 Private Cloud and Data Security 22:20 The Exaion Partnership 26:03 Future of Bitcoin and AI 40:22 Innovative Approaches to AI and Bitcoin Mining 42:06 Challenges and Opportunities in Power Generation 45:38 Strategic International Partnerships 50:43 The Future of Real World Assets 53:53 Bitcoin Mining in China 57:24 Why MARA Runs Their Own Software 01:00:19 Where is Bitcoin Mining Headed 01:04:17 Benefits of Running a Mining Pool 01:07:17 Heat Reuse in Mining 01:12:23 The Role of Data Centers in Power Generation

EVERYONE IN BITCOIN IS FOLLOWING SELFISH INCENTIVES. THAT'S EXACTLY WHY IT WORKS. Miners want bitcoin. The work they do to earn it makes Bitcoin's history expensive to rewrite. Users want to keep the rules they signed up for. In 2017, the businesses and pools claiming over 80% of the mining power still couldn't make them accept a hard fork. Governments can restrict mining, but miners go wherever they're welcome. When China restricted mining in 2021, the miners moved, and Bitcoin's issuance schedule didn't change. Nobody has to agree on what Bitcoin is for. All that and more ...in today's OUTSIDE MONEY!

This little side-quest project we’re developing is a Bitcoin Satellite Command Console to interface with the Blockstream satellites. Every asset we develop for this project, from engineered parts to software, will be 100% free and open source, available on our GitHub.📡🛰️
