Hidden AI Infrastructure Offers Superior Risk-Adjusted Returns

Here's something I keep coming back to about the AI boom: the most visible layer of a capital cycle is rarely where the best risk-adjusted returns show up. Hyperscalers are spending $700 billion+ on AI infrastructure this year. The Mag Seven are down as a group in 2026. Microsoft's valuation has compressed to levels we haven't seen in years. And the companies actually building the AI models — OpenAI, Anthropic — are private, so retail investors can't even access the upside directly. But Bitcoin miners quietly pivoting to AI colocation are trading at 3-4x earnings against a 20x plus comp set in traditional data centers. Stablecoin settlement rails are processing hundreds of millions in machine-to-machine payments from zero a year ago 👀 New piece on Unchained digging into all of this — the capital structure bet behind AI, where risk concentrates, and why the real opportunity might be in infrastructure everyone's overlooking. https://lnkd.in/eWcwCvEr
