Power Analysis

The market sells off again, and we zoom out to explain why macro pressure and geopolitics can hit everything from the Mag 7 to bitcoin miners. We translate the AI buildout into real power numbers, then dig into why access to electricity and generation is becoming the deciding edge for hyperscalers and miners alike. 

• data center and AI infrastructure stocks getting hit alongside broad indices 
• Mag 7 year to date drawdowns and why zooming out matters 
• oil, diesel, and natural gas rising and the knock on effects 
• why higher power costs can squeeze bitcoin mining margins 
• AI data center capex reaching historic levels and what it means in gigawatts 
• AI adoption growth driving demand for compute beyond text into video and images 
• hyperscalers buying sites and locking up capacity with examples from Meta, Google, and Microsoft 
• why miners with ready power still have leverage in a power constrained market 
• bitcoin price pullback versus adoption progress and cycle thinking 
• miner stock performance and the urgency to add HPC revenue 
• “go ahead” contracts as the trigger for re rating HPC colocation stories 
• bring your own generation as a shortcut around interconnection queues 
• GPU depreciation versus real world lifespan and why older GPUs can stay profitable 
• Miner Madness standings update and what could change the leaderboard
