There’s a saying today that the entire community should really think about.

Nvidia’s boss Jensen Huang publicly said: “Bitcoin is really doing one thing—it’s turning unused energy into money, and you can take that money wherever you want.”

This isn’t just polite talk. This is the person who understands computing power best in the AI era, for the first time using the concept of “energy money” to explain what gives BTC its true value.

Put another way: Bitcoin isn’t just a simple asset; at its core, it’s another form of energy.

Just this one sentence is enough for people in the industry to ponder for a long time.

**What exactly is Jensen Huang saying?**

The core logic behind his statement is actually pretty clear: mining is about converting surplus electricity into digital currency, which can then flow freely around the world.

What’s the fatal flaw of traditional energy? Electricity can’t be transmitted across continents. Surplus electricity just goes to waste. Seasonal energy can’t be stored. Cheap electricity in remote areas can’t be turned into money.

But BTC has completely changed this.

Texas, Iceland, Kazakhstan, or Sichuan during the winter when there’s excess hydropower... Now, surplus electricity in these places can be used like this: power the mining rigs → mine BTC → settle on the global market → turn it into storable value.

You don’t need to lay power grids, you don’t need to build energy storage facilities, you don’t have to care how remote the location is, and you don’t even need to worry about local market demand. Surplus energy is instantly transformed into a global asset.

This is the first time in human history that this has been possible: energy can be “packaged” and carried away in the form of money.

With just this one sentence, Jensen Huang has basically revealed the ultimate value of BTC.
