SWI Group, the current owner of Genesis Digital Assets, has announced the sale of the company's final three 
Bitcoin mining facilities in Kazakhstan. This divestment comes after Genesis Digital previously received funding from the now-defunct FTX exchange.
The decision to sell the Kazakhstan mines is part of a broader strategic shift by SWI Group, which plans to repurpose the energy infrastructure for artificial intelligence data centers. This move reflects the company's ambition to diversify its operations and capitalize on the growing demand for AI infrastructure.
According to Cryptopolitan, SWI Group is raising €800 million to fund the development of AI data centers in the United States and Sweden. This investment underscores the company's commitment to expanding its presence in the AI sector while exiting the crypto mining space.
The sale of the Kazakhstan mines occurs amid a stable yet competitive landscape for Bitcoin mining. The Bitcoin network hashrate remains robust at 1001 EH/s, indicating continued strength in the mining ecosystem despite recent market fluctuations.
The broader crypto market remains relatively flat, with a total market cap of $2.86 trillion. Bitcoin itself is trading at $83,031, showing a modest 24-hour gain of 0.69% and a 7-day decline of 3.03%. The current Fear & Greed index stands at 57, indicating a 'Greed' sentiment in the market.

The chart plots BTC's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₹8.60M (about $83,090.00), up 0.9% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 7.9% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
