Nvidia is making a bold move in the artificial intelligence infrastructure space, planning to raise at least $20 billion through a multi-tranche bond offering. This debt issuance, the chipmaker’s first since 2021, is aimed at funding AI investments and refinancing existing obligations. The bonds will span maturities from two to 30 years, with the longest-dated notes expected to yield about 0.9 percentage points above comparable U.S. Treasuries. This capital raise underscores Nvidia’s central role in the AI ecosystem as the dominant supplier of graphics processing units for training large language models. Meanwhile, Bitcoin miners are increasingly pivoting to AI and high-performance computing (HPC) services. Companies like HIVE Digital, TeraWulf, Hut 8, and CleanSpark are repurposing their power capacity and data center infrastructure originally built for cryptocurrency mining to serve AI workloads. Industry data reveals that publicly traded miners have announced over $70 billion in cumulative AI and HPC contracts. Analysts project that listed mining firms could derive up to 70% of their revenue from AI by the end of 2026, up from roughly 30% currently. Despite this shift, many miners face headwinds in their core business. Following the April 2024 Bitcoin halving, increased mining difficulty and operational costs have squeezed margins, prompting some miners to sell portions of their Bitcoin holdings and reduce leverage. For instance, miners offloaded over 15,000 BTC between October and March. Companies like Canaan have struggled, with Q2 revenue guidance falling short of analyst estimates and facing Nasdaq compliance issues. Nvidia’s debt market move and miners’ AI pivot highlight a convergence where capital and infrastructure are flowing toward AI, reshaping the landscape for both sectors.
