    SoftBank Group has made a $50 million investment into industrial-scale Bitcoin mining company Cipher Mining. 

    Matthew Sigel, head of digital asset research at VanEck, has opined that this is a "huge endorsement" for the diversified Bitcoin/AI model from SoftBank Group CEO Masayoshi Son.  

    "Further evidence that Bitcoin is emerging as the hurdle rate for innovators," he said.
