AI Expected to Outpace Bitcoin in Energy Use by 2025

New data suggests that artificial intelligence will surpass Bitcoin’s energy consumption by 2025. This prediction, based on comparisons of AI and Bitcoin energy usage, highlights a significant trend shift in the tech industry. Industry leaders predict this rise stems from higher revenue generated per megawatt-hour for AI workloads compared to Bitcoin mining. The transition toward AI is already prompting changes in Bitcoin mining practices with some miners adapting their infrastructure to accommodate these evolving needs.
