According to @StockMKTNewz, 46% of the world’s data centers are located in the United States, concentrating compute capacity and tying hosting demand to U.S. power policy and pricing (source: @StockMKTNewz on X, Dec 9, 2025). For crypto, the U.S. already hosts the largest share of global Bitcoin hashrate at roughly 38% in 2023, linking BTC mining economics to U.S. grid conditions and regulation (source: Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance, CBECI 2023). Texas’s ERCOT market has documented large flexible loads from Bitcoin miners curtailing during peak demand, highlighting sensitivity to heat waves, curtailment credits, and ancillary service revenues (source: ERCOT market reports 2023–2024). Equity exposure includes U.S.-listed miners MARA and RIOT and data center operators EQIX and DLR, whose capacity expansions and profitability depend on U.S. data center build-outs and electricity costs (source: company filings and 2024 earnings calls).
