Well, this is unexpected. Google-a company worth roughly the GDP of a small planet-has decided to dip its toe into the turbulent waters of Bitcoin mining. Their chosen dance partner? Cipher Mining, a publicly traded entity that somehow convinced the search-engine overlords that digging for digital gold in Texas is a totally rational decision. 💡
Under a 10-year pact with AI cloud platform Fluidstack, Google will pocket a 5.4
In exchange, Cipher will beam 168 MW of AI computing power from its Texas facility-a state already parched enough to question the wisdom of powering a cryptocurrency mining operation larger than some small nations’ energy grids. The deal is expected to generate $3 billion in revenue over the next decade, which sounds impressive until you realize that’s roughly what Google spends on snacks annually. 🍿
This “strategic shift” (read: Hail Mary pass) merges crypto mining with AI infrastructure, because apparently, the future needed more buzzwords. When asked if this meant Google would next sponsor a blockchain-powered toaster or a metaverse-based laundromat, spokespeople demurred. But hey, at least we know Alphabet’s next quarterly report will have a “Texas-sized crypto losses” footnote. 📉
Stay tuned for updates, like when Cipher’s servers melt into a puddle of silicon tears or when Texas regulators realize they’ve accidentally sold the state to a bunch of algorithmic cowboys. 🤠
