According to BlockBeats, Bitcoin miners are exploring alternative activities such as hosting artificial intelligence (AI) computers to offset the revenue gap expected around the halving event. This shift comes as miners seek to diversify their income streams beyond traditional Bitcoin mining operations.

In recent days, the rebound in Bitcoin prices has led to a rise in the stock prices of the top five cryptocurrency mining companies. However, Iris Energy Ltd (IREN) has lagged behind, experiencing a 15% drop in its stock price last week. This decline followed a report by Culper Research, which disclosed its short position in IREN. Culper's bearish stance is based on the belief that Iris's facility in Childress, Texas, is unsuitable for AI or high-performance computing (HPC).
