AICoin AI Infrastructure Boom Faces $800 Billion Revenue Gap as Computing Costs Soar
The disconnect between AI adoption and monetization raises questions about sector valuations.

OpenAI exemplifies the trend, prioritizing growth over profitability with multibillion-dollar annual losses until projected cash-flow positivity in 2029. The analysis excludes cryptocurrency implications, though parallel infrastructure challenges exist in blockchain networks.
