All seven Magnificent Seven stocks fell today. Here's where that money actually went (July 23, 2026)
All seven Magnificent Seven stocks were red by late morning Thursday, led by Tesla's 14% drop on an earnings miss and Alphabet's close-to-7% slide despite beating estimates, on another capex raise. Amazon and Meta sold off too ahead of next week's reports. The money didn't just leave, it rotated: into defense on Lockheed's earnings beat, and out of quantum, SaaS and space.
Cipher Digital (CIFR) is up 39% in two sessions, and its own AI news hasn't landed yet
Cipher Digital (CIFR) gained 39% in two trading sessions, but most of the credit belongs to Hut 8 and IREN's AI infrastructure deals. Cipher's own catalyst, its first AWS rent payment, doesn't land until August.
IREN signed $2.8 billion in AI contracts, and bitcoin miner stocks rallied with it
IREN closed up 19.6% after announcing $2.8 billion in new AI cloud contracts. Hut 8 and CleanSpark had data center lease news of their own, while CIFR, SLNH and KEEL rallied in sympathy. The fuel: Moonshot AI is turning away paying Kimi K3 subscribers because it ran out of GPU capacity.
Meta is in talks to rent $10 billion of computing power to rival Anthropic (META)
The New York Times reports Meta is negotiating to lease AI rival Anthropic up to $10 billion in computing power, following the path SpaceX and TeraWulf already blazed.
Nebius (NBIS) signed a $1 billion deal this week. Its stock is down 14% today anyway, worse than the chipmakers.
Nebius signed a $1 billion, multi-year AI compute deal with Reflection AI, and its stock is still down about 14% today. The pressure has spread well past chips: CoreWeave, crypto miners like IREN and Cipher Mining, power stocks like Talen Energy and Vistra, and now New York's data-center moratorium and a Trump-Hochul clash are all weighing on the same trade.
Big tech is about to spend $725 billion on AI data centers. That's not what a bubble looks like.
Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Meta are guiding to roughly $725 billion in combined AI capex for 2026, up 77% from last year. States are moving to regulate the data centers that money builds, but the real risk to watch is that spending now outpaces free cash flow.
The Close, July 14: IBM lost a quarter of its value, and SK Hynix's Nasdaq stock jumped 27%
IBM lost about a quarter of its value in a single session after a weak preliminary report, and the damage spread across enterprise software. SK Hynix's brand-new Nasdaq stock went the other way, jumping 27% on a day chips broadly rallied.
Bitcoin miners are becoming AI landlords. Here's how far each one has actually gotten.
Eight bitcoin miners are pitching the same AI pivot, but they're nowhere near equally far along. IREN and TeraWulf already have AI revenue flowing. Hut 8, Cipher and Applied Digital have billions in signed leases that haven't started billing yet. CleanSpark still just mines bitcoin.
New York froze new data centers for a year, and TeraWulf just became the day's biggest loser because of it. Nebius, close behind, has nothing to do with New York.
Governor Hochul signed a first-in-the-nation moratorium on new hyperscale data centers today, and TeraWulf (WULF) fell 6.7%, the hardest hit in the group, because it owns exactly the kind of project the order targets. Nebius (NBIS) fell almost as much, and Digital Realty (DLR) also dropped on real New York exposure, but Nebius and CoreWeave (CRWV) have nothing to do with Albany.
Inflation fell for the first time since 2020, the Kospi closed green, and IBM still crashed 23% (July 14, 2026)
June CPI fell 0.4%, the first monthly decline since 2020, and chips bounced. Then IBM missed on preliminary results, lost roughly 23%, and dragged Workday, ServiceNow and Adobe down with it. CleanSpark jumped 8% on a $6.6 billion AI data center lease, and the Kospi closed green before the CPI number even existed.
TeraWulf is borrowing $3.5 billion for its Anthropic data center. Here's what that means for the stock (WULF)
TeraWulf is raising $3.5 billion in debt, its first-ever leveraged loan deal, to build the Kentucky campus behind its $19 billion Anthropic lease. The stock is up again today, but the move is more complicated than it looks.
TeraWulf, CoreWeave, and Nebius are having a big day. The stocks still mostly mining bitcoin are not.
TeraWulf, Nebius, IREN, CoreWeave, and five other AI infrastructure stocks are surging together Wednesday, while HIVE Digital and CleanSpark, the two names still mostly mining bitcoin, are red. The split isn't random.
TeraWulf (WULF) spiked 18%, then gave most of it back: sell the news, buy the rumor
TeraWulf (WULF) opened up 14% and spiked as high as $25.04 on a $19 billion Anthropic lease, then gave back nearly 70% of that gain by early afternoon. Here is how the short interest and the deal math explain the fade.
TeraWulf (WULF) stock jumps 18% on a 20-year, $19 billion Anthropic data center lease
TeraWulf signed a 20-year lease with Anthropic worth about $19 billion in contracted revenue at its Kentucky data center campus, and sold its Abernathy, Texas stake to a Fluidstack-led group for about $530 million the same day. WULF stock jumped as much as 17%, reversing a hard slide, right after Anthropic's reported $15 billion Australia data center plan.
Meta's cloud news is hammering the neoclouds: CoreWeave and Nebius drop about 13% (July 1, 2026)
The same Meta cloud announcement that sent META up about 10% on July 1, 2026 is hammering the neoclouds. CoreWeave (CRWV) and Nebius (NBIS) each fell about 13% as investors saw a giant new rival for renting out AI computing power.
Smart money is piling into AI neoclouds: Nebius NBIS, SharonAI SHAZ and Cerebras CBRS
Several top funds disclosed 5%+ stakes in AI compute names this spring: Leopold's Situational Awareness in Nebius (NBIS) and SharonAI (SHAZ), Tiger Global in Cerebras (CBRS), and Lone Pine in miners turned AI data centers TeraWulf (WULF) and Hut 8 (HUT).
Bitcoin is sliding, and the AI data center miners are sliding with it (IREN, CORZ, CLSK)
A dozen former bitcoin miners now call themselves AI data center companies. With bitcoin down near $58,300 and sliding a second day, most fell with it, while the names furthest from crypto held up best.
Data-center and bitcoin-miner stocks (CRWV, HIVE) sold off at the open on June 29 after a pre-market pop
AI data-center, neo-cloud, and bitcoin-miner stocks ticked up pre-market on June 29, then sold off hard at the open. Most are down 3% to 10% from the open and now slowly recovering. Nebius (NBIS) was the exception.
HIVE Digital (HIVE): a green bitcoin miner pivoting to AI, and a Leopold Aschenbrenner pick
HIVE Digital (HIVE) is the cheap, green bitcoin miner betting on AI. A look at the BUZZ HPC pivot, the recent $300 million share program, the Leopold Aschenbrenner stake, and the full bull and bear case.
IREN bought the Warriors' jersey patch. Here's how it stacks up against WULF, CIFR and the other ex-miners
A few years ago IREN was a bitcoin miner. Now its badge is going on every Golden State Warriors jersey in a deal worth more than $50 million a year. Here is what IREN actually does, the Microsoft and Nvidia contracts behind the splash, and how it compares to ex-miners like WULF, CIFR, APLD and CLSK.
