# Bitcoin Mining Giant Pivots to AI: The Next Play in Computing Power?
SATO Technologies (TSE:SATO) is making a bold move—leveraging 20 MW of Quebec's cheap hydro-power to shift from Bitcoin mining into AI and high-performance computing infrastructure.
Here's what's happening: The company's betting that Bitcoin mining expertise translates directly into managing massive computational workloads for AI training and data centers. Instead of competing in the saturated mining space, they're repositioning as a hybrid computing power provider.
**The numbers that matter:**
- 20 MW of hydro-electricit

Ironically, in 1980, the middle class could support a family, buy a house, and go on vacation with an income of $13,000 to $16,000 a year. Now? Even with an annual salary of $68,000, houses have become more than six times more expensive (from $64,600 to $410,000), and buying a car costs more than half of that annual salary.
Let's feel the specific numbers:
- Price-to-Income Ratio: In 1980 it was 3:1, now it is 5:1
- Bread has increased from 50 cents to $1.87, a rise of 377%.
- The new car jumped from $7557 (one-third of the annual sala
