Hedge fund Third Point disclosed in its second-quarter 13F filing that it held 54,000 shares of Bitcoin miner Core Scientific, according to Techub, which cited NewsBTC. The position is being read as a sign that institutional capital is paying closer attention to the theme of Bitcoin mining companies shifting toward AI infrastructure rather than taking direct Bitcoin exposure.
The analysis pointed to miners’ existing advantages: large-scale energy access and data center infrastructure. As demand tied to the AI boom grows for power, land, cooling capacity and dense facilities, some mining companies have already started to repurpose part of their infrastructure for high-performance computing customers.
The report also said Third Point’s holding suggests listed Bitcoin miners may no longer be seen only as leveraged proxies for Bitcoin. Instead, they may also be valued as infrastructure assets. AI hosting could open a second potential line of business for mining firms, with valuations that may rely on more than Bitcoin production alone.

The move is being viewed as a sign that institutional capital is watching the theme of Bitcoin miners shifting toward AI infrastructure, rather than buying Bitcoin directly. The analysis said Bitcoin mining companies are natural candidates for an AI computing pivot because they already control large-scale energy resources and data center infrastructure.
As the AI boom drives demand for power, land, cooling and high-density facilities, some miners have started to reposition part of their infrastructure to serve high-performance computing customers.
