Unlike AI companies, they can place equipment in remote locations without high-speed internet. This was stated by Jeremy Dreyer, Managing Director of GoMining Institutional.<\/p>\n<p>He predicts that in the next 5\u201310 years, competition for energy resources will lead to a new influx of institutional investment in bitcoin mining. According to him, after spot ETFs, the next step for large capital will be cryptocurrency mining.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Institutions Seek &#8216;Virgin&#8217; Bitcoin<\/h2>\n<p>Institutional investors and corporate treasuries are looking for ways to add digital gold to their balances at prices below market value. They are increasingly considering mining &#8216;virgin&#8217; coins, which have not yet been in circulation.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/backend.theminermag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/May-June-2025-Report.pdf\">TheMinerMag<\/a>, in the first quarter of 2025, the average cost of mining one bitcoin was about $64,000. By the end of the year, this figure could exceed $70,000, approximately 70% below the current asset price of around $119,000.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diversification and Innovation<\/h2>\n<p>Some mining companies are already diversifying their businesses to capitalize on the trend. For example, Riot Platforms <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riotplatforms.com\/riot-platforms-reports-first-quarter-2025-financial-results-current-operational-and-financial-highlights\/\">paused<\/a> its capacity expansion in Texas to explore opportunities in the AI sector.<\/p>\n<p>IREN (formerly known as Iris Energy) also announced a strategic shift towards the cloud AI business, according to GoMining.<\/p>\n<p>Dreyer forecasts that many public miners who switched to artificial intelligence will return to bitcoin mining when they see institutional capital flowing into the sector.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, mining company TeraWulf <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/terawulf-and-fluidstack-launch-ambitious-ai-project-with-googles-backing\">signed<\/a> a 10-year contract with cloud AI platform Fluidstack.
