暴风矿业（RIOT）和Hut 8（HUT）出售数千比特币以资助AI项目和股权回购

Leading Bitcoin mining operations Riot Platforms and Hut 8 have significantly trimmed their cryptocurrency holdings this year to finance corporate restructuring. Riot sold 20,264 bitcoin to fund the expansion of artificial intelligence data centers, leaving its total reserves at just 2,418 BTC. Hut 8 liquidated 3,102 bitcoin to generate capital for a $250 million share repurchasing campaign aimed at boosting stock value. This shift highlights a broader industry trend where miners are diversifying operational revenue into high-performance computing. Large-scale liquidations by major miners introduce persistent overhead selling pressure on spot crypto markets. Nevertheless, executive teams view AI infrastructure diversification as a necessary hedge against post-halving mining margin compression.
