Bearish
Bitfarms dey plan to convert BTC to fiat to finance AI/HPC, dem explicitly dey signal say dem go dey sell BTC opportunistically instead of hold am. That one dey increase chance say public miner go still dey supply BTC during di transition, we fit put pressure for BTC price short-term. Di shift to AI/data-center infrastructure fit boost sentiment for tech infrastructure names, but di direct trading impact on BTC na di sell-side flow dey dominate. Long-term, better investment capacity fit reduce reliance on mining-only, but for short-term di continued BTC liquidation behaviour na di main market driver.
