summary

Panelists debate why Tesla halts Bitcoin payments, arguing ESG pressure and Tesla’s reliance on roughly $400M in quarterly energy credit sales motivate the move; miners claim Bitcoin uniquely monetizes excess energy versus costly, damaging batteries. Marathon reports 2x a hash deployed and plans a further 7–8x build to hit ~6–7% of the network; BitFarms holds ~1.5% of the network and 78 megawatts of green hydropower. ASIC.to runs ML firmware to squeeze more efficiency from Bitmain chips; Alpha Miner shows a 4,000W APW9 replacement PSU and GPU HPC chassis.
