Immersion cooling could improve efficiency at AI data centers

Although it has been in the news recently for investing in Ethereum, Bitmine is also a Bitcoin mining company. The specialized hardware used for mining Bitcoin, ASICs, consumes massive amounts of energy and generates quite a bit of heat. To improve productivity, Bitmine uses immersion cooling technology, which submerges mining hardware in dielectric (nonconductive) fluid that absorbs heat.

AI development presents some of the same challenges miners face, including high energy consumption and heat generation. Immersion cooling could be just as impactful for AI as it has been for Bitcoin mining. Estimates from Sandia National Laboratories suggest that immersion cooling could decrease energy consumption by 70%, which would be a huge help for AI companies and the power grid.

This gives Bitmine another potential source of revenue, and one that's not directly connected to the volatile crypto market. Considering how much hyperscalers are spending on data centers, a move into AI infrastructure could be the next growth driver for Bitmine.
