Stephen Byrd initiated coverage on Terawulf and Cipher Mining on Monday, expecting their stock prices to increase by 159% and 158%, respectively. Stephen Byrd pointed out that the core asset of mining companies is access to electricity, and AI companies are willing to pay a premium to acquire electricity, with the economic benefits of AI businesses surpassing those of cryptocurrency mining.
