Impact Assessment · Quick Read
The divergence between Bitdeer’s expansion and the broader sector’s contraction highlights a strategic bifurcation within listed miners. With major players like Core Scientific and TeraWulf deriving the majority of revenue from hosting and HPC rentals, the industry is increasingly pivoting toward infrastructure-as-a-service models. This shift may reduce direct exposure to Bitcoin price volatility but introduces dependency on enterprise demand for data center capacity.
