Riot Liquidates 79% of Its Bitcoin Treasury for $28 Billion AI Infrastructure Deal
Bitcoin miner Riot has liquidated 10,599 BTC, or 79% of its crypto holdings, to help fund a 15-year, $28 billion AI infrastructure deal. The sale removes a large miner treasury from the market and signals a strategic pivot from pure bitcoin mining toward AI hosting. Traders will watch whether other miners follow with similar liquidations, adding sell pressure, while Riot's revenue mix shifts away from bitcoin.
