Bitcoin Magazine has published a new video interview with Frank Holmes, executive chairman of HIVE Digital Technologies, titled Frank Holmes: They Will Print $100 Trillion – Why to Buy Bitcoin & Gold.

In the conversation, Holmes argues that bitcoin miners already control the power, the land, and the substations that artificial intelligence requires. He describes bitcoin mining as a "tier one" data center, explains how GPUs that once mined Ethereum led HIVE into AI, and says the next wave of AI factories will be built on mining infrastructure from Paraguay to Canada. The overlap he describes reflects a broader shift across the sector, where access to power and grid infrastructure has become the key asset for both mining and AI compute.

The $100 trillion printing thesis that gives the episode its title runs alongside chapters on how ETFs changed bitcoin demand, the $19 billion Binance liquidation, Covid-era money printing and modern monetary theory, and central banks buying gold — a macro thread that frames his case for holding bitcoin and gold. For readers tracking the mining-to-AI crossover, the Paraguay and Canada chapters are where that infrastructure argument is made most directly.
