Trillions are being ‘wasted’ on the AI boom, Arthur Hayes says. He’s betting on what comes next
Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes warns that multi-trillion-dollar investments in the artificial intelligence sector are being wasted on overbuilt data-center capacity. According to Hayes, the massive overexpansion will likely trigger an infrastructure market crash followed by a government bailout around late 2027 or 2028. He argues that the resulting flood of liquidity will flow into the broader cryptocurrency market, driving Bitcoin toward a $1 million price target. Hayes also noted that exchange-traded funds are growing while Michael Saylor's market influence fades.
