Adam Sullivan made a bold career move when he left investment banking to venture into bitcoin mining, but the timing couldn’t have been trickier. It was May 2023, and the cryptocurrency was trading around $21,000. U.S. regulators were tightening their grip on the sector, while Core Scientific, the company Sullivan was poised to take over, was entangled in a legal battle with creditors in a Texas bankruptcy court over tens of millions of dollars in debt.
Despite the challenges, Sullivan saw a glimmer of hope on the horizon: the impending halving event, which typically triggers a significant surge in bitcoin’s price. On a late Friday night, the bitcoin code automatically halved the issuance of new bitcoins, a process that occurs roughly every four years. This event, designed to curb inflation, historically precedes major rallies in bitcoin’s price.
The halving cuts the rewards paid to miners, impacting their revenue directly. However, it often leads to substantial rallies in bitcoin’s price, which helps offset the reduced rewards. Sullivan, CEO of Core Scientific, emphasized the importance of being prepared for the halving to mitigate its effects on the company.
The aggregate market capitalization of U.S.-listed bitcoin miners declined significantly over the first half of April, reflecting the challenges ahead. However, some analysts believe that the impact on miners’ margins may be modest, especially given bitcoin’s trading price in the range of $60,000 to $70,000.
Miners have spent years preparing for the halving by seeking lower power costs and upgrading their equipment. Bitdeer Technologies Group, for example, has focused on increasing vertical integration through research and development efforts. Other miners, like Stronghold Digital Mining, prioritize owning low-cost power sources to maintain operational flexibility.
Core Scientific has been diversifying its revenue streams beyond bitcoin mining by exploring AI applications. Sullivan believes that mining sites could serve as a virtual battery for grid operators in the future, offering potential revenue streams beyond bitcoin mining.
While some miners are confident in their preparations for the halving, others are cautious about the challenges it poses. Despite uncertainties, miners are exploring new opportunities to adapt and thrive in the evolving landscape of bitcoin mining.

Innodisk, a leading global AI solution provider, is showcasing its comprehensive new products at Computex 2024 with a focus on edge AI. Key highlights include the industry’s pioneering CXL 2.0 memory expansion, E3.S SSD, and innovative MIPI over Type-C camera technology for machine vision. Live demonstrations of smart manufacturing PPE recognition and intelligent people tracking will emphasize Innodisk’s custom edge AI capabilities. This event also unveils Innodisk’s new brand vision, “Architect Intelligence,” bringing out its commitment to building intelligent solutions with global partners.
Expanding Industrial Product Lines to Meet AI and Edge Serve Standards
Reliable and high-performance memory and storage are essential for AI and edge computing, particularly as edge servers evolve and demand high data throughput and resilience in extreme environments. This year at Computex, Innodisk will unveil the industry’s first industrial-grade CXL 2.0 memory expansion for high scalability. Additionally, Innodisk is staying ahead of the curve by launching DDR5 LPCAMM2 and DDR5-8800 MRDIMM memory, both adhering to JEDEC’s advanced standards.[1] The showcase will further feature the award-winning E1.S Gen4 SSD series alongside wide-temperature SSDs tailored for edge servers, such as the E1.S/E3.S, available in various form factors. The range also includes 16TB high-capacity SSDs designed to meet evolving storage needs.
Further, Innodisk’s recent focus on embedded camera modules for AI machine vision development is also crucial for advancing edge AI applications.

Liquid Diamonds, a B2B diamond sourcing platform with offices in New York and Mumbai, is excited to introduce a revolutionary new technology that ensures price transparency, cost savings, and real-time access for jewelry retailers across the globe through a patented reverse auction system. Previously only available to diamond wholesalers, this expansion was made possible by an outpouring of support from diamond industry veterans as well as certain members of the New York Angels, raising over Rs. 9 crores ($1.1M). Varun Alagh of Mamaearth, Aakrit Vaish of Haptik and Miten Sampat of CRED also participated in this round.
The investors believe the jewelry industry has been left behind compared to other sectors such as auto, finance, and pharmaceuticals. Their goal is to propel it into the modern age, attracting substantial financial capital into the trade.
Donna Redel, a member of New York Angels, as well as an early investor and mentor to Liquid Diamonds, now serves as a member of the company’s board of directors. She shared that she “is optimistic about the future of the diamond industry, as modern technology is slowly being accepted by a dated industry that is not currently data rich.” She continued that the “application of technology and access to data can benefit every part of the value chain. Liquid Diamonds is at the forefront of this revolution and will continue to establish itself as a great asset to the jewelry industry at large.”
Liquid Diamonds is helping diamond cutting and polishing companies, based in Surat and Mumbai access global wholesale markets of diamonds and jewelry. Liquid Diamonds has already facilitated the export of over Rs. 400 crores ($50M) in diamonds from India to the United States, showcasing the power of the platform.
Powered by a patented universal continuous double auction technology, the platform ensures diamond buyers get the best price by putting suppliers into open competition with each other. On the supply side, they offer a SaaS-based Pricing Co-Pilot that helps diamond suppliers price their diamonds competitively using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
Founders of Liquid Diamonds, Kashyap Mehta, Mark Molloy and Chetan Gupta, combine their deep family connections in the diamond industry with their technology backgrounds to revolutionize the industry. With the cross-border nature of the business, they have product development and ops teams based in the Bharat Diamond Bourse in Mumbai while sales, delivery and customer service functions are based in the Diamond District in New York.
“Our vision is to democratize the diamond market, allowing buyers to receive fair market value regardless of whether they are buying 5 or 500 diamonds,” said Kashyap Mehta, CEO of Liquid Diamonds. “This enhanced focus on retailers is an exciting advancement for the whole industry, and we are happy to report an increase in both time spent on the platform and a strong buyer ROI. By opening new opportunities and providing price transparency, we believe this will revolutionize the way the jewelry market conducts business.”
