Bit Digital operates as a Strategic Asset Company balancing two infrastructure plays: Ethereum staking for protocol-native yield and majority ownership of WhiteFiber, an AI/HPC data center operator. The transition from BTC mining reflects a strategic pivot toward productive compute at scale.
Bit Digital sits at the intersection of Layer 1 blockchain infrastructure and Layer 3+ productive compute. As an Ethereum network participant, BTBT generates yield through protocol participation while holding majority equity in WhiteFiber's AI/HPC operations. This dual-layer positioning reflects the thesis that foundational compute infrastructure—from blockchain consensus to GPU-driven AI workloads—will power the 21st century economy.
NBC tracks BTBT as evidence of structural shift in compute economics. The company's pivot from BTC mining to dual-layer infrastructure ownership—Ethereum staking plus AI/HPC exposure—validates the thesis that 21st century wealth flows to operators controlling compute, not just mining it.
Everything you need to know about NeonBridge and the compute economy.
Oil powered the 20th century. Compute powers the 21st. Every time an AI model runs or a Bitcoin block is mined, it takes energy, chips, data centers, and cloud infrastructure to make it happen. The companies building all of that form the compute economy. NeonBridge tracks 200+ of them across 7 categories.
Just like oil or electricity, compute is a raw resource that every industry needs. AI models can't train without GPU cycles. Bitcoin can't exist without hashrate. As demand grows, the companies that produce, store, and distribute compute become critical infrastructure. That makes compute the defining commodity of this century.
AI and Bitcoin are not two separate topics. They are two expressions of the same industrial revolution. AI transforms compute into intelligence. Bitcoin transforms compute into verifiable scarcity. Both need the same physical foundations: energy, chips, and data centers. That is why NeonBridge tracks them together, as one economy.
Most companies in the tracker are publicly listed stocks you can buy through any brokerage account. We highlight EU-friendly brokers like Trade Republic, Interactive Brokers, DEGIRO, and Scalable Capital to help you get started. No crypto wallet needed for the equity side.
Like any sector, compute infrastructure carries risk. Chip supply chains can be disrupted by geopolitics. Energy costs fluctuate. AI regulation is evolving fast. Bitcoin mining profitability depends on network difficulty and price cycles. Diversifying across the 7 categories of the compute economy helps reduce exposure to any single risk.
Global AI compute capacity doubles every 6-7 months, fueled by explosive AI adoption outpacing historical trends, with contributions from Bitcoin mining infrastructure repurposing and autonomous systems. Governments worldwide have committed hundreds of billions to chip manufacturing and power infrastructure. This reflects an enduring industrial shift comparable to electrification.
