Nick Hansen, CEO and co-founder of the Luxor mining pool, said the biggest challenge for Bitcoin miners in 2026 will be curbing the desire to transition into artificial intelligence (AI). According to DL News, he stated that striking a balance between mining and high-performance computing (HPC) remains very difficult. Miners are currently facing challenges as the price of Bitcoin has fallen 30% from its peak. In response, many publicly traded miners are marketing themselves as computing or digital infrastructure companies, focusing on the more profitable business between coin mining and AI computing services without completely abandoning their mining operations. Hansen explained that if the Federal Reserve begins an interest rate-cutting cycle in 2026, Bitcoin's price and mining profitability are likely to improve.

Verbistky emphasized that in the current situation, it is far more important to remain patient and practice systematic risk management than to chase short-term rallies.
