The case rests on bitcoin’s independence from corporate earnings and its fixed supply, not on AI directly driving adoption. This is an investment thesis rather than a guaranteed outcome; bitcoin could still be affected by broader market risk and liquidity conditions. --- ## Sources 1. https://www.theblock.co/news/markets/2026-10-15-bitwise-cio-argues-bitcoin-will-benefit-whether-ai-booms-or-busts-418668 --- *Content provided by BITERMINAL — https://biterminal.rendrr.app* *Powered by xAI Grok.
