Bit Digital昨日追加质押29,900枚ETH，Riot Platforms持续出售BTC，IREN扩张AI算力至150,000 GPU

ME News Report, April 14 (UTC+8), according to BBX Cryptocurrency Concept Stock Information Disclosure, yesterday the global listed cryptocurrency asset ecosystem showed a clear strategic divergence: some companies chose to deepen digital asset pledges to enhance network revenue, mining companies continued to monetize to cope with operational cost pressures, and others took advantage of the trend to shift computing infrastructure toward the AI market.

Key Dynamic Highlights

Bit Digital, Inc. (NASDAQ: $BTBT) on April 13 on-chain pledged approximately 29,900 ETH (about $65.3 million), bringing the total pledged ETH for the week to 73,234 ETH (about $156.6 million), according to on-chain analysis platform Lookonchain. As of March 31, the company held 155,444 ETH, with an average cost of about $3,045, and a current market price of around $2,200, resulting in an overall paper loss of approximately 28%. The company positions itself as a “Strategic Asset Company (SAC),” with about 62% of its holdings pledged. In March, the annualized yield from pledges was about 2.9%, generating approximately 291 ETH in pledge rewards. The company also holds a majority stake in AI computing infrastructure company WhiteFiber (NASDAQ: $WYFI), forming a “ETH Treasury + AI Computing” dual-track architecture.

Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: $RIOT), one of the largest Bitcoin mining companies in the U.S., has sold approximately $102 million worth of BTC by April 2026, continuing the “mine-and-sell” cash flow management model. Calculated at about $71,000 per BTC, the current price approaches or hits the full cost line (including electricity, depreciation, and management costs) for most mining companies, with selling pressure structurally persistent.

IREN Ltd. (NASDAQ: $IREN) recently announced an expansion of its AI cloud computing capacity to 150,000 GPUs. After the announcement, the company’s stock price surged about 8% intraday. IREN, formerly Iris Energy, is a representative case of a Bitcoin mining company transforming into an AI/high-performance computing (HPC) data center. Its operations are supported by the basic revenue generated from Bitcoin mining, while it also makes long-term capital investments in AI training and inference computing rental markets. (Source: BBX)
