Miners are no longer mining Bitcoin; they are selling electricity to AI.
Written by: Cathy, Plain Language Blockchain
Mining one Bitcoin costs $87,000. When sold, the market only pays you $67,000.
For each Bitcoin mined, you net a loss of $20,000. It’s not just losing on fees or electricity fluctuations; it’s a solid loss—losing $20,000 for every Bitcoin produced. This is the reality in March 2026. Data from Glassnode and MacroMicro both point to the same conclusion: Bitcoin mining, at current prices, is a losing business.
But miners aren’t just sitting around waiting to die. They’ve made a choice that the entire market didn’t expect—they’re stopping mining and selling electricity to AI.
Specifically, it’s not “stopping mining,” but rather emptying the Bitcoin treasury and pouring all funds into AI data centers, relegating mining to a side gig.
Since Bitcoin dropped from 126,000 in October 2025
