Bitcoin Miners Are Fleeing to AI: So Why Is the Hash Rate Surging?

Bitcoin miners are increasingly converting sites and power capacity to AI and high-performance computing, attracted by steadier, potentially higher revenues. Yet the network’s hash rate can keep rising as remaining operators expand, more efficient machines come online, and miners respond to Bitcoin’s price and mining economics. The shift is therefore not an immediate threat to network security, though it may reshape who mines and where capacity is deployed.
