Bitcoin Miner Riot Adds New Board Member to Push AI Pivot

Bitcoin (BTC) miner Riot Platforms appointed three new directors to its board as it explores potential opportunities in artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC).

The additions include Michael Turner, former president of Oxford Properties and küresel head of real estate at OMERS, one of Canada’s largest pension funds, alongside Jaime Leverton, ex-CEO of Hut 8 Mining (HUT), and Doug Mouton, a veri center development veteran from Microsoft and Meta, the company said in a release on Thursday.

The appointments come as Riot considers repurposing its mining infrastructure, particularly its Corsicana Facility in Texas, for AI workloads, and has tapped investment banks Evercore and Northland Capital Markets to assist with this transition.

Riot’s move follows a broader industry trend as miners seek new revenue streams amid rising energy costs and lower mining rewards after the recent Bitcoin halving.

CoinDesk reported in October that Core Scientific (CORZ), one of RIOT’s rivals, has been building AI-focused infrastructure since 2019.
