Hello, I am preparing an analytical feature focused on a structural shift within the mining industry: the transition of mining companies into AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and cloud infrastructure operators. The angle of the article is not about AI hype, but about business transformation. Specifically, I am examining whether miners are evolving into long-term digital infrastructure providers — leveraging their access to power, data center capacity, and capital markets — or whether diversification into AI is primarily a cyclical hedge against post-halving margin compression. I am seeking comments from: – Executives at publicly listed or large-scale private mining companies pursuing AI/HPC diversification – Data center operators partnering with or acquiring mining infrastructure – Institutional investors covering digital infrastructure, energy-intensive computing, or listed miners – Analysts specializing in mining economics, capital expenditure, and infrastructure reallocation Key areas of interest: 1. Does the AI pivot materially improve revenue stability and valuation multiples? 2. How technically and economically viable is the conversion of mining facilities into AI-ready data centers? 3. Is this transition driven primarily by long-term demand for AI compute, or by mining profitability volatility? 4. Do you expect pure-play miners to disappear over the next 3–5 years?
