Billionaire investor Mark Cuban (마크 큐반) has singled out high-performance chips for artificial intelligence as the next focus of investment mania. He wrote on X that chips could become a new crypto-like asset class. Cuban referred to high-performance GPUs used to run AI and said computing hardware could stand as an independent investment asset class as AI growth changes perceptions of chips. Crypto figures pushed back, and Cuban’s views on bitcoin have shifted repeatedly over time.

Strategy Chairman Michael Saylor described money as \"economic energy\" and argued bitcoin is the most suitable technology to store it, according to Cryptopolitan. In an essay co-written with Robert Breedlove, Saylor defined money as a technology that stores the value of labour and transfers it across time and distance. He said good money must store and move value without loss. He criticised gold and government-issued currencies, while defining bitcoin as digital monetary energy with a fixed supply of 21 million.
