๐ RIOT soars +17% on $9.1B Anthropic AI data center deal โ Bitcoin miner goes all-in on AI
Riot Platforms inked a massive 20-year, $9.1 billion deal with AI lab Anthropic to supply 191 megawatts of compute capacity from its Rockdale, Texas campus โ bringing 96 MW online by late 2027 with full buildout by mid-2028. Two 5-year extension options could push total contract value to $16.1 billion. The news lifted AI infrastructure peers IREN, Applied Digital, and TeraWulf too. Not financial advice. Is this the end of Bitcoin mining as Riot's core identity?
