According to BBX, yesterday global listed companies demonstrated an extremely ruthless realism in their approach to crypto treasuries and hardware infrastructure. Mining in 2026 will no longer be a bull market frenzy driven by blind expansion, but will instead evolve into a profound reshuffling centered on "extreme cost reduction" and "business migration": —Extreme hardware efficiency: Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ: $BTDR) launched the SEALMINER A4 series with 9.45 J/TH, reclaiming profit pricing power in the industry chain through its self-developed SEAL04 chip. —Business shift towards AI: MARA Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: $MARA), in partnership with traditional asset management and overseas data centers, is sparing no cost to convert mining farms into AI high-performance computing centers, causing structural loss of Bitcoin hashrate. —Network-wide hashrate contraction: In Q1 2026, network-wide hashrate recorded its first 4% decline in six years, signaling the complete end of the era of blindly deploying inefficient mining machines. —Treasury belief collapse: Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: $RIOT) sold Bitcoin equivalent to 2.5 times its production, revealing the massive cash flow pressures faced by leading mining companies. —Compliance infrastructure moving downstream: Foundry Digital’s institutional-grade support for the Zcash (ZEC) mining pool shows traditional mining giants are searching for compliant high-margin alternative assets beyond Bitcoin. The market is clearly moving towards a dual trend of "involution in hashrate hardware manufacturing" and "fiat-ization of leading mining companies' balance sheets (AI transformation)."
