Bitcoin price volatility has not slowed demand for mining infrastructure, according to Beau Turner of Abundant Mines.

During an interview with TheStreet Roundtable, Turner said the company is preparing for a strong 2026 by expanding capacity now, even as near term price pressure remains a possibility.

Turner acknowledged that Bitcoin could face further downside before resuming a longer term uptrend.

“The path to much higher can involve some pit stops along the way at lower,” he said. Despite that uncertainty, Abundant Mines is positioning itself for growth.

Hosting demand remains strong despite price pressure

Abundant Mines operates primarily as a mining hosting provider, and Turner said customer demand has remained elevated even during periods of weak Bitcoin price action.

“Our ability to serve that incoming demand of people who want to mine is really the core metric that we need to live by,” he said.

Turner noted that part of the demand has been driven by year-end tax planning, with clients seeking to benefit from depreciation on mining equipment.

To avoid capacity bottlenecks, Abundant Mines is planning a significant expansion. Turner said the company recently completed its sixth site acquisition, adding that without additional space, some customers would have been unable to onboard.

“We are looking at essentially three x-ing our available capacity in the first quarter of next year," Turner noted. "If demand is still this strong when we are in, what I would say is a comparatively weak price environment, you better get ready for the waves."

Mining profitability comes down to margins, not price calls

Turner said risk management in Bitcoin mining is less about predicting price movements and more about operational discipline.

“As long as you are procuring the right equipment and setting up your energy procurement in the right way you should still have plenty of margin,” he said.

Rather than viewing lower prices as a threat, Turner described downturns as an opportunity to expand more efficiently.

“That should be when you are buying lots more equipment doing additional deployments because you get better pricing and better acquisitions when people are looking to flee,” he explained.

Turner said Abundant Mines remains “aggressively positioned” for long-term growth, betting that preparation during weaker market periods will matter more than short-term timing.
