According to CoinShares’ Q2 Bitcoin Mining Report, even as Bitcoin prices continue to rebound, publicly listed miners that have already pivoted to AI infrastructure are highly unlikely to return to mining operations. The report indicates that AI infrastructure yields approximately $1.5 million in profit per megawatt, roughly triple that of Bitcoin mining (around $500,000), highlighting a stark economic disparity. Currently, at least 35 EH/s of hash rate (representing about 4.7% of the network’s total 750 EH/s) is slated to exit the publicly listed mining sector, with companies such as Core Scientific, IREN, Cipher Digital, and TeraWulf having sequentially announced either full exits or scaling back of mining operations. Given that some AI hosting agreements extend up to 15 years, this transformation is largely irreversible.

Odaily reports: Bitcoin News posted on X that Jack Dorsey supports open AI model releases, independent evaluation, and review of dangerous capabilities, believing that open-weight models allow independent researchers to reproduce results, identify problems, and develop safeguards. He opposes industry-wide restrictions on compute, training runs, and model development negotiated by current leading labs, arguing that this could make existing leading companies the only capable participants and exclude entities that could identify problems or build alternatives. Jack Dorsey stated that restricting general model releases should be a last resort, implemented only when there is independently reviewable evidence that release would significantly increase catastrophic risks that cannot be addressed through narrower measures; he hopes users can run and control AI tools on their own devices.
: On September 9, Bulgaria's National Assembly passed amendments to the Tax and Social Security Procedure Code with 149 votes in favor, 0 against, and 10 abstentions, which will allow the Bulgarian National Revenue Agency to obtain detailed information on crypto asset users. The bill was approved by the 240-seat parliament.The amendments implement two European Union (EU) directives, requiring crypto asset-related businesses to register and report to the Bulgarian National Revenue Agency users' names, addresses, dates and places of birth, tax residences, and tax identification numbers, as well as to submit transaction data for various types of crypto assets, including gross amounts received, number of transactions, number of fiat buy and sell transactions, and crypto asset exchange activity.Privacy advocates criticized the scope of data collection as overly broad, arguing that mandatory disclosure of personal information could pose security risks. Crypto traders and small businesses said the registration and reporting requirements will increase compliance costs; supporters of the bill argue it aligns with EU standards and helps curb tax evasion. The relevant directives require EU member states to complete adoption by December 31, 2025. (Bitcoin.com News)

According to an analysis by Jiangzhuoer (@Jiangzhuoer2), CEO of Litecoin Pool, after Republicans released a new draft of the Clarify Act claiming concessions on 80% of the disputed provisions, Polymarket's passage probability rose accordingly from 14% to 28%. Upon closer inspection, however, the actual concession rate is around 60%, with only partial compromises made on key provisions. Under the ethics clause, the new draft expands restrictions to officials and their spouses but still excludes children and affiliated entities, a move criticized as having limited practical impact; regarding the enforcement clause, while it allows state attorneys general to sue exchanges for listing non-compliant tokens, it explicitly bars suing the Department of Justice for regulatory inaction or the President directly. Jiangzhuoer believes that Democrats lack any incentive to "hand Trump a gift" ahead of the midterm elections, making it unlikely they would endorse this "fake compromise." Consequently, the prospect of the procedural vote passing at 2:15 AM Beijing Time on September 16 is slim, and a failed vote on the Clarify Act could mark the beginning of a correction in the current BTC uptrend.
