Riot Platforms just made a power play—snagging a data center veteran to pivot beyond its Bitcoin mining roots. Because why settle for one high-risk, energy-guzzling business when you can diversify into another?
The move signals Riot’s ambition to leverage its infrastructure for broader tech applications—though skeptics might call it a desperate hedge against Bitcoin’s next 80% crash.
