3月6日消息,一位曾被OpenAI解雇的年轻研究员正成为比特币挖矿行业的重要投资者。24岁的Leopold Aschenbrenner通过其对冲基金Situational Awareness LP,大举投资比特币矿业公司,总金额约10亿美元。根据提交给美国证券交易委员会(SEC)的最新文件,该基金整体规模约55亿美元,其中接近五分之一配置在比特币挖矿相关企业。
公开资料显示,Aschenbrenner在2024年因涉嫌信息泄露离开OpenAI,此前还曾参与FTX Future Fund项目。如今,他将资金集中投向多家正在向人工智能算力业务转型的矿业公司,包括Core Scientific、Iris Energy、Cipher Mining、Riot Platforms和Hut 8等。这些企业普遍拥有大规模电力资源和数据中心基础设施,被视为AI算力产业链的重要资产。
行业人士指出,这笔投资背后的核心逻辑并非单纯看好比特币价格,而是押注“电力基础设施价值”。挖矿与计算咨询机构Blocksbridge创始人Nishant Sharma表示,比特币矿工最重要的资产一直是能源供应能力和电网接入资格,而不是他们能挖出的比特币数量。在当前AI算力需求迅速增长的背景下,拥有数吉瓦电力资源的矿业公司正在获得新的估值逻辑。
自2024年比特币减半后,矿工收入明显下降,区块奖励减少叠加链上交易费走低,使挖矿盈利能力受到冲击。与此同时,大量矿企开始布局人工智能和高性能计算业务,希望通过算力托管获得更稳定的收入来源。例如,Core Scientific已与AI云服务商CoreWeave签署为期12年的合作协议,预计总收入可达100亿美元。Iris Energy则计划在2026年前将AI云服务年化收入提升至5亿美元以上。
AI行业对电力的需求也在快速增长。据估算,训练OpenAI的GPT-4模型需要超过12兆瓦电力,相当于约1.2万户家庭的用电量。随着下一代模型规模扩大,能源需求预计还将继续上升。然而在美国,新数据中心接入电网往往需要3至5年时间,而矿业公司已具备现成电力与场地资源。
因此,在AI算力竞争加剧的背景下,比特币矿场的能源与基础设施正被重新定价。Aschenbrenner的投资策略正是基于这一趋势:当AI算力需求持续扩张,拥有电力与数据中心资源的比特币矿企可能成为最直接的受益者。
