“AI, high-performance computing and digital assets are increasingly converging around a common set of investment considerations: power, compute, capital and execution,” said Mike Colonnese, CFA, Head of Crypto & Digital Infrastructure Equity Research at H.C. Wainwright. “For digital infrastructure companies, investors are focused on power availability, speed to energization, development execution, capital intensity and the ability to monetize capacity across multiple workloads. For digital asset treasury companies, the analysis centers on capital structure, governance, liquidity, digital asset growth on a per-share basis and the durability of any premium to net asset value. These panels will give investors an opportunity to hear directly from the executives addressing these issues.”
“H.C. Wainwright has built a differentiated investment banking platform across artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure, cryptocurrency and financial technology,” said Craig Schwabe, Head of Crypto, Digital Infrastructure & FinTech Investment Banking at H.C. Wainwright. “These panels bring together leading executives to discuss where capital is being deployed, how these markets are evolving and the opportunities we see across these increasingly interconnected sectors.”
