BlockBeats News, December 17 — Early Bitcoin investor Nick Rose’s Orion Compute announced its entry into large-scale Bitcoin mining and artificial intelligence data center infrastructure construction, initially focusing on developing markets with abundant low-cost energy. Orion Compute stated that as global AI data center investments accelerate, North America and Western Europe are facing rising electricity costs, grid congestion, and power outage risks. The company plans to deploy computing infrastructure in energy-rich, low-utilization areas to significantly reduce electricity costs and ensure continuous power supply. In the short term, Orion Compute will prioritize projects in West Texas, USA, and expand to developing economies once regulatory and infrastructure conditions are mature. Regarding specific strategies, the company adopts a phased deployment model, initially using lower-cost AI hardware (such as Nvidia A100 GPUs) to reduce capital expenditure and improve energy and operational systems; later, it will upgrade to H100-level GPUs when conditions are ready. Meanwhile, Orion Compute is building dual-purpose infrastructure capable of supporting both AI computing and Bitcoin mining, and through collaboration with Terra Solis, it is introducing ultra-low-cost, location-flexible energy solutions.

BTC 15-minute drop of 1.75%: Derivatives liquidity deterioration and capital withdrawals in sync weigh on prices
From 01:30 to 01:45 (UTC) on 2026-04-12, the BTC price saw significant volatility within the 71,560.0–73,017.1 USDT range. The candlestick return rate recorded -1.75%, and the amplitude reached 2.00%.
