In dieser Folge von Beckers Bets spricht Moderator Christoph Damm mit Ha Duong, Krypto-Experte und Fondsmanager bei BIT Capital. Im Gespräch geht es um Powells Rede in Jackson Hole und die Frage, ob das wirklich der Start einer Zinswende ist, um Stablecoins als neue Milliarden-Käufer von US-Staatsanleihen und ihre geopolitische Bedeutung sowie um Ethereum, das zuletzt ein neues Allzeithoch erreicht hat. Ha Duong sieht darin weit mehr als nur Kursfantasie – für ihn ist Ethereum längst eine Infrastruktur-Plattform, vergleichbar mit Nvidia im KI-Boom. Außerdem geht es um Bitcoin-Miner, die ihr Geschäftsmodell erweitern und mit KI-Deals ein zweites Standbein entwickeln – vom Google-Vertrag mit TeraWulf bis zu den Erfolgen von IREN.

Since then, the volume of digital asset payments has grown more than fivefold to nearly $300 million in the first half of 2025. The University of San Andres allegedly pays its international faculty in Bitcoin. Carlos Neira, co-founder of Colombian wallet provider Meru, reports a staggering 6,600% increase in Bolivian users since the ban was lifted.

Today, Daniel Leslie, CTO of Coin Safe Limited, joins us to discuss Bitcoin mining in Australia. Despite Australia's massive size, its mining footprint remains tiny at around 100MW total capacity.

For today's Bitcoin Stock Show, MARA's Chief Strategy Officer Adam Swick joins to discuss the forward-looking plans CEO Fred Thiel mentioned in MARA's 2024 earnings call. Specifically, Swick unpacks claims that MARA wants to offshore 50% of its operations by 2028 by entering into similar joint-ventures as its Zero Two partnership in the UAE. Swick also speaks to the company's goal to own more energy-generating assets in the United States and how it would finance such purchases. Finally, why MARA is so hot on the new ASIC manufacturer, Auradine, and whether or not we should expect MARA to enter the inference field for AI compute.• Mara went from 0% to 70% owned mining assets• Q4 revenue: $214.4M with lower operating costs• Target: 50% of operations outside US by 2028• Wind farm acquisition extends life of older miners• Auradine partnership delivering quality ASIC miners• Focus on AI inference rather than training modelsTimestamps:00:00 Start03:53 MARA lowering OpEx06:24 Trend toward owned assets09:01 Zero cost mining14:17 Debt financing BTC purchases19:27 Considering power production22:01 Foreign mining sites27:08 Has Africa been sufficiently de-risked?30:25 Free-er energy markets vs controlled33:57 Auradine40:40 AI & HPC
