NVIDIA CEO sounds the alarm on computing power: AI demand may trigger a memory crisis, what’s next for Bitcoin miners?
At the 2026 International Consumer Electronics Show, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang issued a clear warning, pointing out that the demand for artificial intelligence computing is experiencing an "exponential surge." This demand, combined with a historic memory shortage, has caused RAM prices to skyrocket by over 200% in the short term, triggering a supply chain shock across the global tech industry.
The first to be affected is the cryptocurrency mining industry, where miners are facing unprecedented cost pressures and survival challenges as they compete for the same hardware resources with financially powerful AI giants. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin mining industry itself is undergoing a profound green transformation and business model reshaping, shifting from mere energy consumers to energy integrators, and actively transitioning into AI computing service providers in an effort to survive and develop amid the upheaval.
