Bitcoin miners earn BTC.
Their loans are usually in USD.
That means they’re exposed to Bitcoin price risk AND dollar liabilities.
Is BTC-denominated credit the missing piece?
We explored it with BTSF founder @btsf_1

Rootstock was designed around one principle: align with Bitcoin at every layer.
• A trust-minimized bridge.
• 85% of Bitcoin’s hash power securing the network.
• More revenue for miners.
As @dieguito explains, @rootstock_io does not just build on Bitcoin. It helps make Bitcoin safer.
The real mining race is no longer just for ASICs. It is for power.
Bitcoin miners used to be valued mainly by hashrate, fleet efficiency, and cost per terahash. That still matters. But the market is starting to price something deeper: access to electricity, grid interconnection, land, cooling, and flexible load infrastructure.
🟢 Network resilience
Bitcoin does not need every miner to stay profitable forever. Hashrate can move. Difficulty can adjust. Blocks can slow, then normalize. The base layer keeps doing what it was designed to do.
🟡 Power reallocation
The headlines call it an AI pivot. The data suggests something bigger. Public miners are not only chasing a new narrative. They are monetizing the scarce asset they already spent years acquiring: power access.
AI data centers want it. Bitcoin miners already have it.
🔴 The new economics of a megawatt
Hashrate is not disappearing, but it is becoming economically mobile. The same megawatt can mine Bitcoin, support AI or HPC, or sit in a demand-response programme, and miner behaviour will increasingly be shaped by power markets as much as Bitcoin markets. The operators who win are the ones who stack the most revenue onto each megawatt without diverting capital away from the hashrate they already run.
The Signal
Bitcoin mining is not breaking. It is being repriced.
The canary is not warning that the network is weak. It is warning that the economics around the network have changed. The next mining cycle may not be won by whoever owns the most machines.
It may be won by whoever controls the best power, and makes each megawatt earn the most while it runs.
Security for Bitcoin’s financial infrastructure can’t be reduced to a logo, a claim, or a roadmap. It comes down to what secures the network, how long it has been tested, and what happens when real capital moves through it.
Rootstock’s answer is layered 🧵👇
“Our goal is not to try and be a Wall Street kind of product.”
Rootstock was built out of Latin America with a clear mission: helping people access financial freedom through Bitcoin.
The institutional layer does not move away from that mission, stresses Richard Green, VP Institutional at RootstockLabs.
It helps build the liquidity, infrastructure, and products that can eventually support better financial access for real people, especially in the places where financial freedom matters most.
Sam meets Sean.
We played bullish or bearish with Sean from @Trezor at @BTCPrague.
Self-custody? Very bullish.
Letting someone else hold your Bitcoin? That answer was not as simple.

@GoldenGatsby
Asked @V4BTC from @Thebitcoinway_ to play Bullish or Bearish at @BTCPrague.
Stacking sats. Self-custody. Saving in dollars. Hardware wallets. Bitcoin-backed loans.
Tony did not hold back.

POV: You just walked into @BTCPrague.
Next stop: the Still Early Cafe by @rootstock_io. Meet our team there.

Coffee first. Building on Bitcoin next.
(Don't miss the Confessions Wall 🤫)
Merge mining Rootstock costs miners nothing extra.
13 major Bitcoin mining pools already know that.
Same work. Extra $BTC.
@AntPoolofficial@Braiins@f2pool@luxor@ViaBTC and more.
Some things are worth a rewatch🧡.
From city to city, the Bitcoin spirit showed up for Bitcoin Pizza Day: loud, hungry, and ready.

What does @RootstockLabs look like in 2030?
RootstockLabs co-founder and CEO @dieguito has a clear answer: a leading destination for companies that want their $BTC working for them.
He also covers quantum computing, culture, and one very important question. Does he know who Satoshi is?
