Bitcoin-mining stocks drop 13% amid a surge in AI infrastructure firms, marking the steepest Wall Street sell-off since July.
Bitcoin‑mining stocks fell sharply, with TeraWulf, Core Scientific, Cipher Mining and IREN each sliding over 12% in a single session.
The decline came as AI‑infrastructure companies rallied on hotter inflation data, drawing investor attention away from mining equities.
The move underscores the sector’s sensitivity to broader tech market dynamics and may influence future allocation decisions for investors focused on crypto infrastructure.
