Hyperscalers and AI firms are eyeing bitcoin mining companies as potential takeover targets due to power demand, as per a report by JPMorgan. The recent deal between CoreWeave and Core Scientific validates the mining sector's shift to high-performance computing (HPC). Financially pressured bitcoin miners are deemed more susceptible to acquisition offers.

The report suggests that power demand from hyperscalers and AI firms could make bitcoin mining companies potential takeover targets. It also highlights CoreWeave's deal with Core Scientific as a validation of the mining sector’s pivot to HPC. Additionally, it mentions that bitcoin miners under financial pressure following the recent halving may be more open to acquisition deals. The bank estimates that U.S.-listed bitcoin miners draw up to 5 GW of power and have access to an additional 2.5 GW, making them prospective acquisition targets. Riot Platforms is singled out as a miner with the financial capacity for deal-making.

Hyperscalers and AI firms are exploring various options to meet their energy needs, potentially making bitcoin mining companies with attractive power contracts appealing acquisition targets, according to JPMorgan's research report. The report highlights the surge in mergers and acquisitions in the mining sector after the halving. Core Scientific's shares rose following a 200 MW AI deal with CoreWeave and an offer to buy the company in an all-cash deal. Similarly, Riot Platforms made a hostile offer to purchase Bitfarms last month.

JPMorgan emphasizes that the CoreWeave deal validates and may expedite the mining sector’s involvement in HPC. The report also notes that within the bank’s coverage, the news is most impactful to Iris Energy, which has the rights to develop over 2 GW of power. JPMorgan predicts that the deal could enhance the “valuation floor for sub-scale mining operators” and help “rationalize the bitcoin network” by improving the profits of the remaining operators.

Furthermore, some bitcoin miners are under financial pressure to exit the market after the recent halving event, making them more open to acquisition offers. Broker Bernstein suggested that Riot Platforms is best positioned to consolidate the mining sector, given its financial capacity for deal-making.
