Bitcoin (BTC) miners are among the strongest performers in crypto-linked equities so far on Thursday after Nvidia’s earnings reinforced investor appetite for companies tied to AI infrastructure and high-performance data centers. Nvidia said Wednesday night that its Data Center business continued to fuel growth as cloud providers, enterprises and governments increased spending on AI systems powered by the company’s chips. CFO Colette Kress said hyperscalers generated more than half of the segment’s $75 billion quarterly revenue, or roughly $38 billion, up 12% from the prior quarter. The comments lifted several miners that have expanded into AI and high-performance computing alongside bitcoin mining operations. Iren (IREN) is up 7% while TeraWulf (WULF), Cipher Mining (CIFR) and Core Scientific (CORZ) each gained around 5% during Thursday trading. "The read across for crypto and frankly the entire financial market is to look for signs of exhaustion in the AI trade. If this happens, investors will likely ascribe more weight to the deteriorating macro picture and we could see a pullback in risk-appetite," Jasper De Maere, OTC trader at Wintermute, said. For now, we seem to be grinding higher but worth keeping an eye on momentum in AI equity plays as a precursor for fatigue." The move stood out against a weaker backdrop for most crypto-related stocks. Bitcoin traded little changed over the past 24 hours, while Coinbase (COIN) and Robinhood (HOOD) moved lower. Galaxy (GLXY) and Circle (CRCL) were among the few crypto equities in positive territory. Energy markets also drew attention Thursday. Crude oil prices jumped after Reuters reported, citing sources, that Iran’s supreme leader directed officials to keep enriched uranium inside the country. The report added another layer of uncertainty to negotiations tied to the U.S.-Iran conflict and raised concerns about further pressure on global energy markets.
