谁能立刻给AI供电？比特币矿企被低估的“价值”

Group 1 - The core point of the article highlights the unprecedented demand for electricity driven by the explosive growth of artificial intelligence (AI), with a significant power shortfall projected in the U.S. data center sector from 2025 to 2028 [1][2] - Morgan Stanley's report estimates that the electricity demand for U.S. data centers will reach 65 gigawatts (GW) by 2028, while the grid can only provide 15 GW of immediate capacity, resulting in a shortfall of approximately 45 GW [2][5] - Even with innovative solutions like natural gas turbines and fuel cells, the projected shortfall remains between 5 to 15 GW by 2028, indicating a critical power bottleneck for data center developers [2][4] Group 2 - Bitcoin mining companies possess significant advantages in this context, as they have existing large-scale power supply capabilities and approved grid connections, making them a viable option for AI companies seeking immediate power access [1][4] - U.S. Bitcoin mining firms currently operate approximately 6.3 GW of large-scale sites, with an additional 2.5 GW under construction and 8.6 GW in development with grid access permits [5][8] - The potential economic value of converting Bitcoin mining sites into AI data centers is substantial, with estimates suggesting that such conversions could create equity values ranging from $5.19 to $7.81 per watt, significantly higher than current trading levels of many mining companies [8]
