Auradine, a manufacturer of computer equipment for mining applications and AI of Bitcoin (BTC), said he raised $ 153 million in a financing round of the series C. C.
The company based in Silicon Valley, California, also formed a new business group, Auralinks AI, focused on open standards to address the cooling requirements of next -generation AI data centers.
The AI and BTC mining centers share similarities in their operational requirements. Given the proliferation of AI in conventional use in recent years, the issue of data centers is now common in public discourse. This is significant for the cryptocurrency industry because most things that relate to AI data centers could also be applied to bitcoin mining.
“Our double approach to Bitcoin’s infrastructure and AI places Auradine at the intersection of fundamental technologies that will remodel computer science and the use of energy in the coming decades,” said CEO Rajiv Khemani in a statement.
The financing round, which brought Auradine’s total support for $ 300 million, was directed by Stepstone Group and included another Bitcoin Miner Mara contribution, as well as Maverick Silicon, Samsung Catalyst Fund and Qualcomm Ventures, among others.
