What's up, my people! Tune in because I bring you the hottest news of the week in the world of Bitcoin mining. Things are getting good and there are some moves that are going to leave more than one person speechless. Hold on tight, because this is heating up 🔥.

Look, the price of Bitcoin is on a constant rise, breaking records, but behind the scenes, the world of mining is exploding with news. On one hand, a miner called BTC Digital (BTCT) released the information that it invested one million dollars in Ethereum and referred to it as its "new digital gold." Can you imagine? These people are not messing around. The CEO said that Ethereum is the foundation for transfers and that they plan to keep investing because they no longer want to be just miners but a piece of the financial infrastructure of the future. Another miner, Bit Digital (BTBT), had already done something similar and it went wonderfully, so this move seems to be a trend that is gaining strength. 🤑

But it doesn't stop there. On the other side of the world, Russia is making a serious move. They want to ban Bitcoin mining in their data centers! Why? Because they are prioritizing Artificial Intelligence (AI). Putin's government wants all that energy and capacity from the data centers to be used for digitalization and AI development, not for miners to take advantage of cheap electricity. This is a hard blow for miners operating there and a sign that countries are choosing sides: either you get on the AI train or you get left behind. 😱

And to top it off, Tether's chief, Paolo Ardoino, took a gamble and said that his company will be the largest Bitcoin miner in the world by the end of 2025. Yes, you heard right! Those who make the stablecoin USDT are investing like crazy in over 15 mining sites, especially in Latin America. Their plan is not just to make money but to strengthen the Bitcoin network and prevent it from becoming centralized. Moreover, they are going to release their mining operating system so that even small miners can compete and the network becomes more decentralized. This is a giant chess move! ♟️

Oh, and we can't forget about Iris Energy and BitFuFu, which are also growing impressively. Iris Energy reported record revenues of $68 million and is heavily investing in AI, buying a ton of NVIDIA graphics cards. BitFuFu, for its part, broke its own Bitcoin production record and continues to grow impressively with its cloud mining.

In short, things are heating up. Big companies are making strategic changes, AI is changing the rules of the game, and money is moving in ways no one expected. Stay alert, because what’s coming is going to be epic!$ETH $BTC
