The Bitcoin mining industry chain has new developments. Riot Platforms' 10-year data center partnership agreement with AMD has attracted attention — the initial contract revenue is not less than $311 million, and if fully expanded as planned, the total scale could reach the billion-dollar level. This long-term chip supply cooperation is significant for the mining industry, essentially locking in hardware capacity for the upcoming period.



More importantly, there is a financing move. Riot raised $96 million by selling 1,080 BTC, which will be directly used to acquire approximately 200 acres of land in the Rockdale park, Texas. This is not just a simple land transaction but a preparation for large-scale capacity expansion — the park plans to deploy a 700MW-level power infrastructure. From BTC cash-out to real estate expansion and energy layout, the entire logical chain is clear: they are betting on the continued growth of mining demand.

Such actions are indeed uncommon in the mining industry. The traditional approach is to store BTC for appreciation, but Riot chooses to cash out and invest in infrastructure, indicating that market participants have considerable confidence in the long-term prospects of mining capacity. From the stock market performance, the Bitcoin mining sector collectively rose on Friday, and capital reactions to this wave of actions have been very positive.

Riot, I have to say, this move is quite ruthless. Directly throwing coins to buy land and lay out energy, this isn't playing around, it's truly all-in.

Riot's move is quite interesting, selling coins to buy land and electricity, betting that the bull market is coming.

Not optimistic about this move, cashing out BTC to buy land? Feels like a gamble on the market...

Selling BTC to hoard land? Riot's bet this time is indeed big; if the computing power demand really picks up, it will be significant.

⚠️ hold up—liquidating 1080 BTC for real estate? not financial advice, but that's... actually a calculated risk i didn't expect from them. need to audit their energy grid contracts before calling this bullish tho. seen honeypot infrastructure plays before, ngl.
