Bitcoin miner Riot Platforms has struck a 20-year agreement to supply 191 megawatts of power from its Rockdale, Texas facility to AI firm Anthropic. The deal could generate $9 billion (roughly Rs 85,806 crore) in value, according to the company and a Bloomberg report. Initial deployment is slated for December 2027, with full build-out by June 2028. The deal accelerates a broader trend of Bitcoin miners pivoting their power capacity to artificial intelligence infrastructure. Riot expects the agreement to shore up its revenue stream, though the financial returns depend on timely completion and sustained demand from Anthropic.
