Bitcoin Miners are expanding gains in trading before the market as the artificial intelligence and high-prime computing (AI/HPC) boom accelerate, especially the benefit of those who turn their operations against AI-Infrastructure.
IREN (IREN) has risen by $ 4% at $ 66 after a 6% increase on Thursday, now more than 520% years rose to date. Terrawulf (Wulf) is 5% higher pre-market after a 10% increase on Thursday, bringing its YTD win to 150%. Other notable movements include FIFHER mining (digifr) Cleanspark (CLSK) and BitFarms (Bitf), all trading with 2% -4% higher in the pre -market.
The total market value of miners is approaching $ 90 billion, according to Father’s Data, and on this current trend it can surpass $ 100 billion at the end of the year if the current momentum continues.
The sector also benefits from wider trends in which Bloomberg reports that Microsoft’s (MSFT) data center shortage will continue until 2026 due to sky -high cloud and AI demand.
Despite having added as much as two gigawatts of new capacity, Microsoft is still struggling to scale infrastructure fast enough to meet demand. As the growing demand for high-performance infrastructure continues, this increases the optimism of Bitcoin mining workers expanding to AI and data centers.
