Bitcoin Mining vs. Powering AI: Which is Better in 2025?
Now we are caught between two computing revolutions – Bitcoin mining and artificial intelligence. Both are vying for energy, investment, and attention in 2025, and the stakes feel higher than ever.
In 2025, powering AI generally offers higher returns and growth than Bitcoin mining. Many miners are expanding into AI because it earns more per kilowatt-hour of power, delivering 3–4 times the revenue of crypto mining on the same energy input.
Many farms even considered converting part of mining warehouse into an AI data center this year. That’s how pressing this question became for miner. I want to break down the comparison, from profits to energy use, so we can decide which path makes more sense – or if there’s room for both.
