Bitfury Launches $1B Fund for Ethical Tech and AI

Published at 2025-11-19 13:15:16

Bitcoin infrastructure firm Bitfury has unveiled a $1 billion fund dedicated to ethical technology, artificial intelligence, and next‑generation decentralized systems, saying it will deploy $200 million in the first year. The program aims to finance startups, research and infrastructure that align with responsible AI practices and decentralized architectures, signaling a shift in corporate focus from hardware mining toward software and ecosystem development.

The initiative matters because it redirects capital from traditional mining revenues into broader crypto and AI innovation, potentially accelerating projects that emphasize governance, security and sustainability. For the crypto industry, Bitfury’s fund could foster new collaborations between miners, developers and regulators while highlighting a trend of legacy mining firms diversifying into high‑growth technology areas. Observers will watch for early investments and partnerships to gauge the fund’s practical impact.
