SBI Crypto To Shut Mining Pool July 31 Cutting 20.9 EH/s As AI Data Centers Eat Hash Margin
A legacy mining brand is walking away and hash market felt the shift fast. SBI Crypto, the mining arm of Japan giant SBI Holdings, said it will end its Bitcoin mining pool on July 31, removing roughly 20.9 EH/s, about 2% of global hash, from the board. The group cited tight margins after halving, plus rising power cost and a reported $21 million hack in Sept 2025 that hit timeline. The move lands just as AI data center firms like Hyperscale Data pivot to BTC treasury plus AI rack mix.
