And speaking of that infrastructure, Canadian company HIVE saw its shares jump ten percent after landing a two hundred twenty million dollar sovereign AI deal with Bell and Cohere. The contract accelerates HIVE's pivot away from bitcoin mining toward high-performance GPU computing, and it raises an interesting question about where the next generation of national AI capacity actually gets built.
