In the first installment of this series, we explored a foundational idea: Bitcoin mining was never just about digital currency. It was designed as a long-term energy system running on a supply schedule that extends over more than a century. In the second installment, we examined how that system is not unique to Bitcoin. Modern AI data centers are built on the same physical foundation—chips, power, cooling, and infrastructure—all working together to turn electricity into Bitcoin mining and AI processing at scale.
In the first installment of this series, we examined a simple but powerful idea: Bitcoin mining was always designed as an energy system.
Artificial intelligence is having its electricity moment. Across global markets, utilities are scrambling to connect massive new data centers. Tech giants are locking in gigawatts of power. Transmission queues to connect the new generation to the grid are backlogged. Electrical substations are suddenly strategic assets. The AI boom has made one thing clear: computation is no longer limited by software. It is limited by energy.
Bitdeer’s Associate Director of Government Relations, Elizabeth Duchek, joined a panel discussion with James Cheng (Canaan) and Jonathan Brightbill (U.S. Department of Energy), moderated by Sonia Murphy of the Digital Power Network. The conversation covered Bitcoin mining's role as a flexible grid resource, partnerships with stranded energy assets, the path from mining to AI data centers, supply chain challenges, and the regulatory barriers facing the industry.
Jihan Wu, Chairman & CEO of Bitdeer Technologies Group, joined Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) and moderator Perianne Boring, Founder and Chair of The Digital Chamber, to discuss “Bitcoin Infrastructure and American Energy Leadership” at the recent DC Blockchain Summit 2026. The discussion touched on the role mining data centers plays in grid resilience, power markets, and national energy security, as well as its intersection with AI compute.
Elizabeth Duchek (Bitdeer) joined a discussion with James Cheng (Canaan) and Darcy Daubaras (Hive Digital) at PubKey DC during the DC Blockchain Week. Elizabeth outlined how Bitcoin mining has shifted from a fringe topic in Washington D.C. to a central issue spanning energy, financial services, and industrial policy. The conversation focused on how miners are increasingly positioning themselves as digital infrastructure operators, where control over power defines long-term competitiveness.
Haakon Bryhni (Tydal Data Center) joined Sarah Backhouse (World 50 Group) and Dr. Silvia Console Battilana (Auctionomics) for a discussion on “Building and Pricing Intelligence: The New Foundations of the AI Economy.” The conversation focused on how computing is shifting from consisting of static, fixed-load data centers priced like real estate to flexible, market-connected infrastructure priced more like energy.
Bitdeer CEO Jihan Wu joined a Davos-stage discussion with the Digital Chamber’s Cody Carbone for a wide-ranging conversation on how compute, energy, and capital are reshaping the next industrial cycle. The discussion focused on why Bitcoin mining infrastructure has become foundational to AI, how power markets are evolving under compute demand, and why the United States is positioned to lead the next phase of industrialization.
Bitdeer CEO Jihan Wu joined the Bloomberg New Economy 2025 program in Singapore on Nov 21 for a focused discussion on how mining infrastructure, chip design, and data center development can accelerate the next wave of AI capacity.
