$BTC Bitcoin miners just got hit by the AI trade. TeraWulf, Core Scientific, Cipher Mining and IREN all fell more than 12% in a single day after hotter-than-expected US inflation pushed investors out of high-growth tech and AI infrastructure stocks. TeraWulf: -12.64% Core Scientific: -12.44% Cipher Mining: -12.35% IREN: -12.2% The bigger story: many Bitcoin miners are no longer only mining BTC. They are converting energy and data-center capacity into AI and high-performance-computing businesses — which means their valuations now react to interest rates, borrowing costs and AI sentiment, not just Bitcoin’s price. Higher inflation raises the risk that rates stay higher for longer, making debt-funded AI data-center expansion more expensive. -> Lesson: In 2026, “Bitcoin miner” can also mean AI infrastructure company — with crypto volatility and Wall Street risk attached. #Bitcoin #AI #BitcoinMining #StockMarket #TeraWulf Not financial advice.
