There’s a bigger story forming in the crypto equity space right now.
It’s no longer just about Bitcoin — it’s about power, compute, and AI infrastructure.
Over the past few years, these companies have been evolving in the background. What started as pure Bitcoin mining operations has gradually turned into something closer to high-power infrastructure — offering direct exposure to AI and data centers.
Their compute capabilities make them a natural fit for AI workloads, and more of them are now monetizing that side of their business.
In other words, this group is becoming a hybrid — part crypto, part AI.
And the market has been pricing in the bullish prospects that come with it.
The cleanest way to see the action in this industry is through the Bitcoin Mining ETF $WGMI.

This fund has been coiling between two key anchored VWAP levels — one from last year’s highs and one from the lows — forming a classic “pinch pattern.”
It’s a textbook volatility compression setup. When price spends time coiling between the upper and lower VWAP boundaries, the eventual resolution tends to be fast and powerful.
That resolution looks like it’s coming now, and it’s occurring to the upside.
When you drill into the individual names, a lot of leadership stands out.
Hut 8 Corp $HUT is one of the strongest setups in the group.
This company is one of the clearest examples of that shift — actively expanding into high-performance computing and data center infrastructure alongside its core mining business — and a great way to express a bullish view on this theme.

The stock is breaking out of a multi-year base, pushing through the upper end of its range.
As long as it holds above those February 2021 highs, the path of least resistance is higher.
I’m taking this breakout seriously and anticipating a major reaction rally out of this base.
The upside potential here is significant, and I’ve added exposure to my long-term portfolio. This is exactly the kind of setup where you want to be early.
If you want to see exactly how I’m positioning and what I’m focused on right now, I’ll be hosting a FREE event on Monday, the 20th, at 4 PM ET.
We’ll go through a real money-making opportunity that’s not being talked about in mainstream media — and how I’m thinking about positioning for outsized returns over the next few weeks and months.
