summary

Panelists from Core Scientific Terawulf and Hive explain that Bitcoin miners are repurposing sites for AI/HPC but only where power quality fiber and scale align, because compute needs firm generation not just intermittent loads. Cost math matters: roughly $1M per MW vs $10M per MW implies 100 MW goes from ~$100M to ~$1B. Talent shortages, complex GPU cooling and bespoke configs mean subset of sites convertible, and hybrid flexible loads remain valuable.
