Bitcoin M&A and Restructuring

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

Panel lays out concrete outcomes: Genesis wins in-kind recoveries (creditors get crypto, not dollars), miners face a data center grab as HPC bids for power and fiber, and consolidation accelerates into 2025 with deals already happening (Robinhood interest, CoreWeave/Core Scientific precedent). Key metrics cited: hash-cost dynamics at sub-5¢ hash price, deal math reaching millions per megawatt, and valuation fights over unfunded sites, interconnect access, and machine supply determine who buys, builds, or folds.
