Bernstein Issues Divergent Ratings on Bitcoin Miners' AI Transition: Positive on CleanSpark's Execution, MARA Awaiting Key Contract
Odaily News - Investment firm Bernstein recently released a report assigning different ratings to two major Bitcoin miners transitioning to AI infrastructure: maintaining an "Outperform" rating on CleanSpark with a price target of $24, and initiating coverage on MARA Holdings with a "Market-Perform" rating and a price target of $17.Bernstein analysts stated that the core reason for the valuation divergence between the two companies lies in their differing progress in executing AI infrastructure transitions. CleanSpark has already signed an anchor tenant agreement for an AI data center and commenced construction, while MARA is still awaiting its first commercial AI contract.Regarding CleanSpark, the company previously announced the signing of a 20-year triple-net lease agreement with a global high-investment-grade technology firm, covering 175MW of IT capacity at its Sandersville, Georgia project. The agreement also includes exclusive cooperation arrangements for CleanSpark's total 885MW asset portfolio in Texas. Bernstein believes that CleanSpark's collaboration with tenant-designated engineering and construction contractors helps mitigate risks associated with its first large-scale AI infrastructure deployment. The first data center hall is expected to become operational in the fourth quarter of 2027.In contrast, Bernstein's assessment of MARA is more cautious. Analysts pointed out that the first commercial AI contract will serve as a key catalyst for a re-rating of MARA's stock, noting that company management previously indicated expectations of signing at least two AI lease agreements by the end of this year.

德州数据中心审计收紧电力供给，Bernstein：现有比特币矿工及 AI 运营商价值提升
据 The Block 报道，德克萨斯州州长 Greg Abbott 本周一下令要求公用事业委员会（PUCT）及电网运营商 ERCOT 对州内所有在队列中的数据中心项目展开审计，ERCOT 随即暂停了原定本月公布结果的"Batch Zero"大型用电审批流程。目前数据中心申请占 ERCOT 474GW 互联队列的约 90%。 Bernstein 分析师在周二发布的客户报告中指出，此次监管审查将抑制投机性开发、压缩新增电力容量供给，从而提升已获批电力容量的稀缺价值，利好现有比特币矿企及 AI 运营商。报告点名 Cipher Digital（CIFR）、CleanSpark（CLSK）及 Core Scientific（CORZ）受审计影响较大，因其近期扩张计划依赖德州电网接入；而 Terawulf（WULF）因电力资产分布于肯塔基、马里兰及纽约等多州，抗风险能力较强；Riot Platforms（RIOT）和 IREN 则因已在 ERCOT 拥有大规模获批运营资产而受益。

Texas Pauses Approvals for ERCOT-Related Data Centers; Bitcoin Miners with Approved Power Contracts Likely Unaffected
Odaily News – Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Monday directed the Texas Public Utility Commission and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) to audit all data centers seeking to connect to the state's power grid, and paused approvals for ERCOT-related data center projects. The audit timeline has not been disclosed. Bernstein analysts stated that most Bitcoin mining firms operating in Texas have already signed approved power capacity contracts, and their operations are not expected to be affected by the approval pause. They believe the audit will curb speculative data center pipelines, making real sites with development history more valuable. The analysts noted that Cipher Digital, Core Scientific, and CleanSpark's Texas operations may become more vulnerable to public opposition to data center expansion during future ERCOT approval processes to convert pipeline assets into grid-connected power capacity. IREN and Riot Platforms' Texas mining operations have already received full approval from the ERCOT grid.
