I just said Anthropic’s energy strategy was about to run into trouble, and now there’s a new development—Crusoe is going all in and buying 13 gas turbines to power its AI data centers.
Crusoe is paying up to satisfy AI’s insatiable appetite for computing power, snapping up gas turbines as power infrastructure becomes the next battleground.
Just the other day, I said AI’s demand for computing power was like a floodgate bursting open, and the existing power grid was close to buckling. Now Crusoe has stepped up and ordered 13 gas turbines from ProEnergy in one shot. That’s no small amount of money—it’s to keep its AI servers running. What does this tell us? AI’s demand for computing power is real and urgent enough that companies are scrambling for power-generation equipment. Infrastructure is the real bottleneck.
Impact on the market
- Short term: No direct boost to sentiment in the crypto market. It’s all an AI story, and the good news has already been priced in.
- Medium term: Investment in power infrastructure could create a new sector, but in the short term, crypto markets are still at the mercy of the dollar.
My take
This is broadly neutral for the crypto market, but power infrastructure is closely tied to AI computing demand. Don’t roast me if I’m wrong—I’m only dipping a small amount into related infrastructure stocks. I’m about 70% confident in this call; I’ll leave the other 30% to the market. What do you think? Which side are you on?
