$56B Cap: U.S. Miners' Market Soars 43% in Sept
In September 2025, the market capitalization of 14 publicly listed U.S. Bitcoin mining companies hit a record $56 billion, a 43% increase month-on-month. These figures were highlighted in a JPMorgan report.
The surge is attributed to several companies pivoting to artificial intelligence and data center operations, with major involvement from technology giants like Microsoft and Oracle. These partnerships have increased capacity contracts.
57% Stock Gains: AI, Data Center Pivot Benefits
The recent gains have led to a 57% average stock increase among mining firms involved in AI and data center ventures. These changes have positioned miners to outperform Bitcoin’s own price performance this month.
Such financial performance mirrors the broader adoption of AI technologies by multiple industries, underscoring the integral role these mining firms play in the technological landscape. Bitcoin miner equities greatly surpassed the returns of Bitcoin itself.
AI Momentum Mirrors Past Tech Shifts in Mining
Bitcoin mining stocks have previously surged following major technological shifts. The recent emphasis on AI mirrors past interest in ESG and immersion cooling technologies that propelled similar growth phases.
Historical patterns suggest that continued investment in technological pivots may sustain growth. Experts see potential for further stock increases as these companies deepen their focus on AI infrastructure. Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO of Microsoft, said, “Cloud and AI is the driving force of business transformation across every industry and sector.”
