We break down four landmark AI and HPC deals in mining and explain why power, PUE, and contract structure now drive valuation more than day-to-day price. We compare Cipher, Core Scientific, Iren, and TeraWulf, and share how Luxor’s tools can steady mining revenue.
• Bitcoin price volatility context and miner performance
• Why long-term contracts beat spot exposure for stability
• Cipher’s FluidStack and AWS agreements and pipeline
• Core Scientific’s first-mover delivery and refurb funding
• Iren’s CSP model, GPU ownership, and Microsoft advance
• TeraWulf’s PUE edge, JV structure, and repeatable builds
• PUE, critical IT vs total power, and cost per MW
• Equity stakes versus cheaper financing trade-offs
• Luxor hedging and energy tools to manage risk
