Cipher Mining recently completed the acquisition of a 200?megawatt site in Ohio and announced the past appointments of Lee Bratcher as Head of Policy and Government Affairs and Drew Armstrong as Head of Strategic Initiatives to support its expansion into high-performance computing and AI infrastructure.
• By pairing long-term AI and HPC hosting agreements with hyperscale clients and access to the PJM power market, Cipher is repositioning itself from a pure Bitcoin miner toward an energy-to-compute infrastructure provider with potentially more diversified revenue streams.
• We’ll now examine how Cipher’s push into AI and high-performance computing via the new 200-megawatt Ohio site could reshape its investment narrative.
