CleanSpark CEO Warns of 20x Cost Increase Converting Bitcoin Mines to AI Data Centers

Gate News message, April 28 — CleanSpark CEO Matt Schultz warned at the Bitcoin 2026 conference that converting bitcoin mining operations into AI data centers dramatically increases infrastructure costs. The per-megawatt construction cost surges from approximately $500,000 to $10–12 million, a more than 20-fold increase. Staffing requirements also rise significantly, from roughly one person per 10MW to approximately eight people per 10MW. Schultz cautioned that cloud providers impose stringent contract terms, with penalties for delayed delivery potentially severe enough to wipe out an entire year's contract revenue. He advised the industry to carefully evaluate execution risks rather than focusing solely on short-term stock price gains from signing announcements. CleanSpark's strategy involves first deploying bitcoin mining to help local utilities monetize idle generation capacity and establish relationships, then transitioning to AI data center development. This approach enabled the company to win a 100MW project in Cheyenne, Wyoming, beating out a trillion-dollar technology giant. Schultz highlighted that bitcoin mining's interruptible nature allows it to fill gaps during AI data center low-demand periods, helping power grids absorb renewable energy fluctuations—making it an ideal partner for utilities.

Pony AI, WeRide Scale Robotaxi Operations Globally with Cost-Efficient China Supply Chain

Gate News message, April 28 — Chinese robotaxi companies Pony AI and WeRide are expanding their commercial autonomous vehicle fleets overseas, leveraging China's EV supply chain and lower operating costs for global scalability.

WeRide plans to deploy about 200,000 autonomous vehicles worldwide over the next five years through an expanded partnership with Lenovo, claiming a total cost of ownership reduction of 84% over a vehicle's lifecycle compared to its earlier platform. WeRide secured what it described as the world's first urban Level 4 fully driverless robotaxi commercial license outside the U.S., in Abu Dhabi.

Trump's Gold Card Visa Program Attracts Only One Applicant Despite $1M Cost

Gate News message, April 25 — The Trump administration's premium 'gold card' visa program, launched last year to attract wealthy individuals and companies to the United States, has drawn minimal interest. Only one person has been approved for the visa since the scheme began, according to reports on April 25. The gold card requires a $1 million gift per individual or $2 million for companies seeking visas for employees, plus a $15,000 Department of Homeland Security processing fee. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick initially projected the program could generate approximately $100 billion for the U.S. government, with plans to issue around 80,000 cards. However, the administration has approved only one unnamed applicant to date. Lutnick stated that "hundreds" of applications are queued, though the disparity between applications received and approvals granted remains stark. According to the official Trump Gold Card website, applicants must demonstrate they will provide "substantial benefit" to the United States. A platinum version of the card, priced at $5 million and offering up to 270 days in the U.S. without taxation on non-U.S. income, is listed as "coming soon." The gold card is intended to replace existing employment-based visa categories, EB-1 and EB-2, for individuals with "exceptional value" to the nation.

Coca-Cola beat Q1/2026 expectations and raised its profit outlook, reinforcing the appeal of defensive stocks. 🥤 Coca-Cola delivered a stronger-than-expected start to the year, with net revenue of around $12.5 billion, up 12% YoY, while organic revenue rose 10% and adjusted EPS reached $0.86. 📈 The positive point was not only pricing, as global unit case volume still increased 3% and price/mix added another 2%, showing that beverage demand remained stable despite uneven consumer conditions across regions. ⚡ Coca-Cola Zero Sugar remained a key bright spot with 13% growth, while water, sports drinks, coffee and tea rose 5%, helping offset mild weakness in the juice segment. 💼 The company’s decision to raise full-year adjusted EPS guidance to 8–9% reflects stronger confidence in margins, cost control and the resilience of its product portfolio. ⚠️ KO shares reacted positively after the report, but risks still come from FX, input costs and geopolitical volatility, so the current story leans more toward stability than explosive growth.

* * * **Discover top fintech news and events!** **Subscribe to FinTech Weekly's newsletter** **Read by executives at JP Morgan, Coinbase, Blackrock, Klarna and more** * * * U.K.-based payments company Wise has secured shareholder approval to shift its primary stock listing to the United States and extend supervoting rights for CEO Kristo Käärmann by an additional ten years, in a dual move that underscores the growing influence of U.S. tech governance models on global capital markets. The vote clears the path for Wise — one of the U.K.’s most prominent tech listings — to proceed with its planned relocation, **pending final approval from a U.K. court**. While the company will retain a secondary listing in London, the move signals a broader trend of high-growth technology firms seeking valuation and governance environments more aligned with long-term founder control. **Dual-Class Debate Reaches the U.K.** -------------------------------------- Wise’s proposal included a notable governance change: the extension of Class B supervoting shares — previously set to expire in 2026 — which give Käärmann disproportionate voting power. These shares currently carry nine votes per share, compared to one for Class A shareholders. **The extension brought renewed attention to the dual-class share structure, a feature common in U.S. tech listings but more contentious in the U.K.**, where it has historically limited index eligibility and raised concerns over investor protections. Wise’s original 2021 listing was the largest-ever tech debut by market value in London but failed to qualify for the FTSE 100 index due to dual-class restrictions. Governance advisers Glass Lewis and Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) both flagged concerns over the proposed extension but ultimately supported the resolution. The vote passed with broad backing, including from major investors such as Andreessen Horowitz. **Shareholder Trade-Offs** -------------------------- The shareholder decision reflects a larger question facing public markets: how much authority to grant founders in return for long-term strategic focus and potential growth. Wise’s board has argued that the dual-class structure is essential to maintaining independence and enabling the company to invest in cost-efficient cross-border payments, rather than prioritizing near-term earnings or shareholder payouts. **Opposition came from Taavet Hinrikus**, Wise’s co-founder and former chair, who criticized the decision-making process and the bundling of the supervoting proposal within broader listing changes. Wise countered that the governance model was endorsed by the board at the time of listing and remains aligned with its long-term mission. The dispute reflects broader tensions in capital markets over founder control, especially as companies scale and governance structures evolve post-IPO. **U.S. Listings Gain Appeal** ----------------------------- Wise’s move adds to the list of high-profile firms opting to shift away from London in favor of U.S. markets, where dual-class shares are widely accepted and tech valuations tend to be higher. **The London Stock Exchange has relaxed its listing rules in recent years to compete more directly with New York, but results have been mixed.** The decision also comes amid regulatory ambiguity over shareholder rights and index inclusion standards — issues that continue to influence where tech companies choose to list. In the U.S., dual-class shares without expiration have become standard practice among firms such as Meta and Alphabet. While they remain controversial, investor appetite for high-growth tech firms has often overridden concerns over voting asymmetry. **Operational and Strategic Implications** ------------------------------------------ Wise processed £145 billion ($195 billion) in cross-border payments in its last financial year, serving nearly 16 million users. Its model, focused on low-fee international transfers, continues to position it as a competitive alternative to traditional banks and remittance services. Analysts say the extension of Käärmann’s voting rights could provide continuity for a business still in a global expansion phase, particularly amid competition in the digital remittance and business payments market. However, critics warn that excessive entrenchment could reduce board accountability and expose the company to activist or regulatory challenges over time. The outcome also highlights a broader shift in global governance standards, as U.S. market practices increasingly influence corporate structures abroad. Whether Wise’s move sets a precedent for other U.K.-based **fintech firms** remains to be seen — but it is a clear signal that founder-led governance, despite its critics, continues to hold sway when aligned with investor expectations of long-term value.
