According to BBX data, last week the completion of the most significant contract for Bitcoin mining company AI transformation was announced, and data on the market performance of crypto-listed companies post-IPO further reveals the industry's valuation dilemma. The core dynamics are as follows:TeraWulf Inc. (NASDAQ: $WULF) disclosed last week through SEC 8-K that the company signed a 20-year AI infrastructure lease with AI leader Anthropic (privately held) ------ the lease subject is TeraWulf's Justified Data campus located in Hawesville, Kentucky, totaling approximately 401 megawatts of IT critical load, expected to generate about $19 billion in contract lease revenue during the initial 20-year lease term (supported by expected investment-grade credit), with the first capacity expected to be delivered in H2 2027, and full capacity of 401MW expected to reach production by early 2028. On the same day, TeraWulf sold its 50.1% stake in the AI data center JV in Abilene, Texas (168MW), with the buyer being a consortium of investors led by Fluidstack, for a total consideration of approximately $530 million (in three phases: $250 million down payment within 14 days, $150 million by the end of 2026, and about $130 million by the end of April 2027), realizing a premium on the original $450 million investment, with the proceeds reinvested into TeraWulf's wholly-owned AI infrastructure projects. CEO Paul Prager: "This milestone collaboration demonstrates our ability to provide large-scale, power-secure infrastructure for top AI clients." $WULF rose over 16% during the day, and after the announcement, several institutions raised their target prices: BofA (Buy, $34), Citi (Buy, $36), Needham (Buy, $33, up from $28), Rosenblatt (Buy, $30), with the average price from Wall Street analysts exceeding $33; the company's stock price has risen over 80% year-to-date, with Benzinga assessing the momentum score at 98.06 (extremely strong).According to INN data from July 8, BitGo Holdings (NYSE: $BTGO) has fallen about 77% since its listing at $22.43 in January 2026, becoming one of the worst performers in this round of crypto IPOs, marking a systemic downturn in the market for crypto asset companies post-IPO; during the same period, Bullish (NYSE: $BLSH) has dropped about 71% from its listing price of $90 in August 2025, eToro Group (NASDAQ: $ETOR) has fallen about 42% from its listing price in May 2025, Figure Technology Solutions (NASDAQ: $FIGR) has decreased about 14%, and only Circle Internet Group (NYSE: $CRCL) has dropped about 6% since its listing in June 2025, showing the smallest decline. The continued weak market performance has substantially frozen the pipeline for subsequent crypto IPOs: Kraken's parent company Payward suspended its listing process this spring, and Grayscale, Consensys, and Ledger have all postponed their IPO plans until market conditions improve.

According to CoinDesk, Christian Lopez, head of blockchain and digital assets at investment bank Cohen & Company Capital Markets, stated that as investors rotate funds into other sectors and macro uncertainty continues to suppress risk appetite, the crypto IPO market has noticeably slowed down.Lopez pointed out that although the successful listings of Circle and Bullish had raised high expectations for crypto IPOs in 2026, the subsequent weakening of market conditions, declining trading volumes, and underperformance of some post-listing stocks have dampened enthusiasm for new issuances. Several crypto companies, including Kraken's parent company Payward, Consensys, Ledger, and Grayscale, have postponed their IPO plans, waiting for market improvement; however, Blockchain.com and FalconX are still advancing their listing processes.Lopez believes that the uncertain interest rate outlook and global deleveraging pressures are making investors more cautious about high beta assets like crypto. He expects that the window for crypto companies to go public may not substantially reopen until next year. Additionally, he stated that regulatory clarity is no longer the primary obstacle for crypto companies going public; rather, the ability to access capital and business diversification are more critical.

According to Caixin, global HBM storage leader SK Hynix officially landed on Nasdaq in the form of American Depositary Shares (ADS), with the stock price rising about 17% at one point after the opening on the first day, reaching a total market value of $1.28 trillion.The report states that this issuance raised as much as $26.5 billion, setting a record for the largest fundraising scale for overseas companies listing in the U.S., surpassing Alibaba's $21.8 billion issuance in 2014, and only second to SpaceX's $75 billion financing, ranking as the second largest stock issuance in U.S. history. On Thursday Eastern Time, SK Hynix set the final issuance price at $149, a slight premium of 3.1% compared to the previous day's closing price on the Korean stock market.Caixin pointed out that the shares offered this time accounted for less than 3% of the company's total market value, with a relatively limited float, but the institutional subscription multiple exceeded 7 times, indicating strong demand from overseas funds for AI storage. As a core player holding 56.4% of the global HBM market share and deeply tied to Nvidia's supply chain, SK Hynix's listing in the U.S. also fills the gap of AI storage leaders in the U.S. stock market.

According to Bloomberg, SK Hynix raised $26.5 billion through American Depositary Receipts (ADR), becoming the largest initial public offering by a foreign company in the United States in history.The company sold 177.9 million ADRs at a price of $149 per share, with each ADR equivalent to one-tenth of a common share traded on the Seoul exchange.
