Cypherpunk says Zcash mining yields 4x more than Bitcoin and AI infrastructure
- —ZEC mining revenue is about $1,000 per MWh versus $240 for AI infrastructure
- —Cypherpunk holds roughly 18% of the Zcash network hashrate
- —Bitmain is effectively the only ZEC ASIC maker, with 7–8 month lead times
- —CIO sees ZEC reaching $10,000 if it hits 10% of Bitcoin's market cap
Why it matters: Constrained ASIC supply keeps Zcash mining margins high, making ZEC attractive for specialized mining firms.
