Miner Weekly: Bitcoin Leaves the AI Trade Behind — and Three Miners Come Back to Life

Bitcoin surged 22.49% in August, outperforming most AI-linked stocks. Canaan (CAN), American Bitcoin (ABTC), and Cango (CANG) rose 66.99%, 53.71%, and 40.96% respectively. The rally was driven by a short squeeze and strong spot ETF demand. Several miners faced listing pressure but rebounded. The move's sustainability depends on continued spot demand and on-chain metrics.
