Core Scientific sold $175 million worth of bitcoin as it speeds up its transition from cryptocurrency mining to artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. This move reduces the company's exposure to bitcoin and reallocates resources toward AI development, reflecting a broader trend of tech firms shifting focus. Similar actions by CleanSpark, which sold most of its February bitcoin production, indicate a growing industry shift away from crypto mining. These changes could influence bitcoin supply and investment patterns in the tech sector.
