Power Analysis

Bitcoin grinds against $74,000 again, and we break down what the repeated tests mean for momentum in both BTC and miner stocks. We also track how miners are re-rating around AI data centers, HPC contracts, and the capital needed to build at scale. 

• Bitcoin resistance at $74,000 and what a clean break could signal 
• Strategy’s latest Bitcoin buy using Stretch and the dividend funding question 
• Rapid growth in corporate Bitcoin balance sheet adoption 
• US AI data center buildout by state and the rising power demand narrative 
• Miner stock performance snapshot and why AI multiples beat mining multiples 
• Colocation versus CSP models and why both can win 
• Hud 8 and American Bitcoin structure plus Sue Ennis shifting into AI robotics 
• BitDeer February ops report, Bitcoin sales, power scale, and SEAL miner updates 
• BitFufu earnings watch and the cloud mining margin model 
• Hive Buzz HPC expansion with Bell Canada and projected revenue ramp 
• TerraWulf Kentucky site financing math and megawatt build cost scenarios

Bitcoin keeps swinging under a stubborn resistance zone, but the bigger story is the flood of capital pushing steady accumulation through Strategy’s Stretch product. We break down what that means for Bitcoin demand and why miners like Mara, Hive, and DMG are taking very different paths toward HPC and AI.

• Bitcoin volatility and the repeated push toward 74K 
• Why Stretch aims to hold near $100 par 
• How monthly dividends interact with price action 
• Record Stretch volume and what it funds 
• The pace of Strategy’s Bitcoin accumulation 
• Miner heat map takeaways and Mara’s relative strength 
• Hive’s robotics partnership and GPU cloud positioning 
• DMG’s modular skiffs and Christina Lake power expansion 
• Firm vs non-firm power and why it matters for HPC 
• What a 50 to 60MW compute deal could mean financially 
• Mara’s Starwood joint venture and the risk-reward trade-off

We break down IREN’s latest strategy shift toward AI compute, using Daniel Roberts’ recent interviews and earnings themes to stress-test our investment thesis for 2026 and beyond. We compare CSP GPU-as-a-service with HPC co-location and focus on what actually decides outcomes: capital costs, build speed, and execution under contract deadlines. 

• bitcoin price action, volatility, and the rising Bitcoin Nasdaq correlation 
• miner stock heat map read-through and why IRIN stands out 
• IRIN’s “three Cs” framework: capacity, customers, and capital 
• the $6B ATM and how it fits into a broader funding toolkit 
• the 50,000 GPU purchase, timing, and pricing risk in the supply chain 
• speed to data center vs speed to power and why delays can crush estimates 
• CSP vs co-location trade-offs including GPU lifespan and asset optionality 
• Core Scientific’s co-location scale as a comparison point on CapEx and delivery 
• air-cooled GPU demand, retrofit potential, and faster time to compute 
• Sweetwater’s secured power, batching, and what Texas expansion could mean 
• competitive moat: founder-led execution, team strength, and the pivot beyond Bitcoin mining economics 

If you're not already subscribed, McNallie Money, feel free to join. And let us know in the comments section below if you're currently holding IREN and how you feel about their prospects in 2026!

We break down how Strategy’s Stretch turns equity into continuous Bitcoin demand, why that flow could reset BTC’s floor, and how miners are pivoting to HPC and AI with real contracts, cheaper power, and smarter cooling. From Core Scientific’s F1 partnership to WhiteFiber’s 10-year deal and Hive’s hydro edge, the signals point to a deeper shift in digital infrastructure.

• Bitcoin range-bound under macro pressure and energy shocks
• STRC enabling nonstop BTC buying near the 100 mark
• Scarcity math with 20m mined and long tail to 21m
• Miners’ dual exposure via HODL and production
• Soluna’s metrics, hosting growth, and wind-backed power
• Core Scientific building Cadillac F1 data hub
• Bit Digital’s WhiteFiber landing NScale’s 40 MW, 10-year contract
• Hive tapping Paraguay hydro for mining and future HPC
• Cooling strategy, PUE trade-offs, and Texas vs cold climates
• Marathon signaling an HPC pivot and investor updates

Let us know in the comment section below what you think about Strategy and Stretch, and if you're currently holding either one of these!

We break down DMG's Q1 results, why we’re keeping cash and BTC, and how market softness creates chances to buy efficient hardware and cheap power. Then we map our pivot: a 50 MW AI build at Christina Lake, Core+ software revenue, and a Malahat partnership to scale without heavy dilution.

• Q1 revenue and profits with 68.5 BTC mined
• Cash, BTC, and short-term investments strengthening liquidity
• Outlook for miner economics amid price dips and ETF flows
• Secondary market for machines and efficiency targets near 10 J/TH
• Wholesale power costs, hydro cooling, and $1.5m incentive
• Helm, Reactor, and Terrapool as Core+ revenue drivers
• Reporting milestones to validate software revenues
• U.S. site diligence delays and focus on Christina Lake
• Tier 3 design, backup power, and off-taker requirements
• Funding paths that avoid ATM dilution and use partnerships
• Malahat JV progress across AI and utility planning
• Capital allocation between hashrate growth and AI build
• Heat reuse explored but deferred to post-AI build
• Adding general compute to increase utilization and jobs
