# Bitzero inks $2.6B AI lease as power race heats up

Massive AI lease: Bitzero will lease its full Norway site to OneQode for 15 years, generating $178 million annually at full capacity. Power bottleneck risk: Electricity demand for AI could surge 165% by 2030, with grid constraints threatening half of planned US data centers. Industry pivot trend: Bitcoin miners like Bitzero and Hyperscale Data are shifting toward AI infrastructure to capture high-margin, long-term contracts.
