TREE NEWS reports: Bitcoin miners pivoting to AI data center infrastructure leasing saw their shares fall about 35% on average in October, VanEck research shows, even as signed leases remained intact and demand signals strengthened. VanEck attributed the selloff to rising financing costs and macro sentiment, arguing markets underestimate the value of 10- to 20-year leases with investment-grade tenants. It said power, not chips, is AI infrastructure’s bottleneck, and the firms trade at roughly half the EBITDA multiple of data center REITs on 2028 estimates.
VanEck: Bitcoin Miners Pivoting to AI Data Centers Fell ~35% in October
The divergence VanEck flags is the real story: operating fundamentals held while the equity re-rated on financing and macro pressure, meaning the market is currently pricing balance-sheet risk over contracted cash flow. That matters most for miners carrying long-duration leases with investment-grade tenants, whose value hinges on whether investors eventually credit that backlog the way they credit data center REITs. The gap between the two EBITDA multiples is the open question — whether it narrows as lease economics prove out, or persists while power constraints and funding costs dominate the narrative.
