Germany continues Bitcoin sales Northern Data AG was established in Germany in 2009, initially named Northern Bitcoin AG, and has now become a major player in the cryptocurrency and cloud computing fields. Initially focused on extracting Ethereum, the company’s mining division shifted its focus to Bitcoin following ETH’s transition from Proof of Work (PoW) to Proof of Stake (PoS) in August 2022. With the profit margins in the BTC mining industry continually shrinking, Northern Data, along with other mining companies such as Core Scientific, TeraWulf, and Hut 8 Corp, has expanded its business into the artificial intelligence sector. With strong support and focus on cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence, Northern Data aims to position itself as a leading structure in the future of financial and computational technology.
