BlocksBridge Consulting 8 月 20 日发布的分析显示,9 家披露 AI 或高性能计算业务收入的上市比特币矿企,在 2026 年上半年合计资本开支达到 51.1 亿美元,而同期直接披露的相关收入仅为 3.412 亿美元。这表明矿企转向数据中心业务仍处于前期重投入阶段。

二季度收入继续增长

这些公司的 AI 与高性能计算收入在今年第二季度合计为 2.058 亿美元,较前一季度增长 52%。据此推算,一季度相关收入约为 1.354 亿美元。Core Scientific、TeraWulf 和 Bitdeer 都报告了数据中心托管或 AI 计算服务收入上升。

不过,这组数据并不等同于 AI 投资回报率。BlocksBridge 统计的资本开支涵盖硬件、土地、设备等生产性资产,其中部分投入仍可能继续服务于比特币挖矿业务。

矿场改造仍需追加建设

报告指出,矿企虽然通常拥有土地、电力资源和并网条件,但这些资产并不能直接满足 AI 客户需求。要把现有矿场改造成可交付的 AI 容量,仍需投入变电设施、机房建筑、冷却系统和网络设备,部分模式下还需要配置 GPU。

这也意味着,矿企往往要在租户开始付费前先完成融资和建设。施工进度、电力接入以及客户集中度,都会影响项目何时形成稳定现金流。

Core Scientific与TeraWulf进展较快

以 Core Scientific 为例,该公司第二季度机柜托管收入为 1.367 亿美元,高于前一季度的 7750 万美元;同期资本开支达到 7.975 亿美元。公司称,截至 7 月中旬,已有 437 兆瓦容量开始向客户计费。

Core Scientific 还披露了与 AMD 的协议,未来可能覆盖 5 个站点、约 530 兆瓦容量。公司称,这些合同在 15 年内对应的基础收入潜力超过 140 亿美元。TeraWulf 此前也披露,2026 年第一季度高性能计算收入已首次超过比特币挖矿收入。

新增收入仍小于已投资本

BlocksBridge 认为,由于各家公司所处阶段不同,这组对比更适合用来观察行业投资强度,而不是直接衡量盈利能力。HIVE 采取了相对更小规模的扩张路线,其 2026 财年高性能计算收入增长 94% 至 1950 万美元,但挖矿仍是主要收入来源。

整体来看,比特币矿企正把电力和场地优势延伸到 AI 数据中心业务,但目前新增收入规模仍明显小于已投入资本。接下来,市场更关注这些公司能否按期交付新容量,并把已签约电力转化为持续收入。
