Stray Cats Cost Bitcoin Mine Millions in One Week. A Bitcoin mine in Inner Mongolia saw its profits collapse this winter. For days, no one could figure out why, until they went underground.
There, hundreds of stray cats were found curled up on the GPUs, using them as heaters. Each cat had claimed its own “bed,” worth millions of dollars in mining power. “It’s wholesome and cute,” one worker said, “but those beds are literally worth millions.”
Since the photos went viral, people have been asking what happened to the cats. A worker explained, “Luckily the man who owns these machines is a cat guy. He’s bought over 200 heating mats, and we’ve been instructed to put them in a separate room for the cats.”
