Google enters TeraWulf to convert Bitcoin mining into AI data centers

Google enters TeraWulf to convert Bitcoin mining into AI data centers

The post Google enters TeraWulf to convert Bitcoin mining into AI data centers appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google becomes the main shareholder of TeraWulf (WULF), supporting a plan of 3.2 billion dollars to convert part of the mining sites into data centers for artificial intelligence (AI). The operation, highlighted in documents filed with the SEC and reported by specialized publications, includes the issuance of options/warrants for over 73 million shares that will give Google, on a diluted basis, a stake close to 8% of the company’s capital. The announcement is dated August 14, 2025, as indicated by the filings and journalistic coverage. According to the data collected from the SEC filings of August 14, 2025, and market notes, the proposed structure combines components of direct equity and dilutive instruments (warrants) with financing lines for infrastructural development.  Industry analysts note that the conversion of mining facilities into HPC data centers requires significant interventions on the electrical network, cooling, and local permits, with operational timelines typically ranging from a few months up to 12–24 months depending on the site and authorizations. Markets in motion: rally and profit-taking The stock WULF has shown marked volatility in the sessions following the announcement, with fluctuations that, according to various sources, have ranged between 20% and 55%. An interesting aspect is that the 12-month high reached approximately $10.71 per share, only to then be affected by profit-taking that trimmed part of the rally. What the agreement provides: numbers and structure Total investment of $3.2 billion aimed at accelerating the conversion towards AI infrastructures and strengthening the already operational campuses. Equity participation: issuance of options/warrants on over 73 million shares, for a potential stake close to 8% of the share capital. Composition: the operation includes an equity component (shares and warrants) along with financial support for infrastructural development; further details will be clarified in the official filings and the expected 8‑K. Key asset: the…

Here’s Why Bitcoin (BTC USD) Price Slipped 9% From August Peak, Can BTC Recover?

Here’s Why Bitcoin (BTC USD) Price Slipped 9% From August Peak, Can BTC Recover?

The post Here’s Why Bitcoin (BTC USD) Price Slipped 9% From August Peak, Can BTC Recover? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The crypto has been witnessing weaker retail confidence, even as whales and institutional flows continued to support Bitcoin (BTC USD). The Bitcoin price was around $113,700 at press time, about 8.5% below its August peak. Bitcoin Price Decline Triggered Weaker Sentiment The Bitcoin price lost about 0.15% over 24 hours and 6.54% in a week. Monthly performance also turned negative at around –3.7%. The move left the asset well below its record of about $124,500, set on August 14. Investor sentiment shifted accordingly. The Fear & Greed Index dropped 12 points to 44. The fall pushed sentiment back into the “Fear” range, showing weaker retail confidence at press time. Market capitalization fell to $3.8 Trillion, mirroring the downturn in Bitcoin (BTC USD). Broader altcoin markets also traded lower. Bitcoin (BTC USD) Price Decline Reflected in Derivatives Derivatives markets showed mixed signals. Futures trading volume climbed more than 6% to $83.7 Billion over 24 hours. At the same time, open interest slipped nearly 1% to $80.3 Billion. This divergence often indicated churn. Rising volume with falling open interest suggested that traders closed existing positions rather than opening new ones. Analysts said this pointed to reduced risk appetite while volatility remained elevated. Other data signaled stress in derivatives markets. Open interest had reached historically high levels before the latest decline. Funding rates, which measure the cost of holding futures contracts, stayed positive. That suggested traders still paid to hold long positions even as confidence weakened. Options activity also rose. Open interest expanded and volatility spreads widened. The 25-delta skew, a measure of options pricing, turned positive. This showed stronger demand for downside hedges and protection against further price losses. Retail Bearishness Contrasted with Whale Accumulation Retail sentiment weakened to its lowest level since June 22, according to Santiment. Analysts compared the downturn…

UK Banks Tighten Grip on Crypto Payments as Investors Struggle to Fund Accounts

UK Banks Tighten Grip on Crypto Payments as Investors Struggle to Fund Accounts

The post UK Banks Tighten Grip on Crypto Payments as Investors Struggle to Fund Accounts appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A growing share of the United Kingdom’s cryptocurrency investors are struggling to fund their accounts, highlighting the regulatory and banking hurdles facing the digital asset sector. An IG Group survey of 500 UK crypto investors and a broader sample of 2,000 adults found that 40% of users said their bank had either blocked or delayed payments to a crypto provider. Among those affected, 29% lodged complaints with their banks, while 35% said they switched lenders in response. When the broader sample was asked about banks intervening in crypto transactions, 42% said they opposed such measures, while 33% expressed support. “We’re in a damaging position where millions of people are effectively being locked out of crypto just because of who they bank with,” said Michael Healy, IG’s UK managing director. “This kind of behavior is at best anti-consumer, at worst anti-competitive — and it’s not backed by the public.” While cryptocurrency trading is legal in the UK, funding accounts can be a major obstacle. Crypto companies must register with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as virtual asset service providers to operate, and only FCA-authorized companies can provide fiat on- and off-ramps in British pounds. Some high-street banks, including Chase UK and NatWest, have gone further, restricting or blocking payments to crypto exchanges under the banner of fraud prevention. On top of these barriers, the FCA has prohibited retail customers from using borrowed money, including credit cards, to purchase digital assets — further narrowing the funding options available to everyday investors. Related: UK crypto hopes stall, but ‘encouraging signs’ are there UK falling behind in global crypto race Banking hurdles for UK crypto users come amid mounting criticism of the country’s broader approach to digital assets. Former Chancellor of the Exchequer and current Coinbase adviser George Osborne recently warned that the UK…
