According to Bitcoin Magazine, citing data from Stand With Crypto, the proportion of pro-cryptocurrency lawmakers among the winners of the 2026 U.S. midterm elections has risen to 69.5%, up from 2024. Bitcoin Magazine states that cryptocurrency is a bipartisan issue.

According to Bitcoin News citing research from Crypto Briefing, since 2016, whenever the Federal Reserve paused interest rate hikes and then resumed them, Bitcoin has recorded a decline within 30 days after the rate hike, with a median drop of 2.4%. We are currently in this situation: the Federal Reserve paused after raising rates in September and is expected to raise rates again soon.The research points out that the most similar historical case was in 2018, when Bitcoin fell by 42% during the period from the midterm elections to the rate hike in December. Although the sample size is only 7 instances, the current record stands at 0 wins and 7 losses.

According to Bitcoin.com, the difficulty of Bitcoin mining has been below the historical high of 155.97T set on October 29, 2025, for 374 days, marking the longest duration in the network's history, surpassing the 364-day record set after the 2011 crash and the 253 days following China's mining ban in 2021. Economist Saifedean Ammous pointed out that the 95% price retracement in 2011 and the Chinese mining ban did not last as long as this, calling it a new world for Bitcoin mining.The difficulty dropped to a low of 124.93T in mid-June 2026, about 20% lower than the peak. Although there was a rebound in October, with the difficulty rising to 148.36T, Mempool.space predicts it will decline again by about 3.7% around November 13, further delaying new highs. Reports indicate that the pressure comes from the sluggish Bitcoin price and publicly listed mining companies selling off Bitcoin and shifting towards AI, while the Democrats pushing for data center restrictions after the midterm elections may also impact mining companies.

After the U.S. midterm elections, concerns about tightening AI regulations and slowing data center construction have intensified, leading to a significant sell-off in U.S. tech stocks. On November 5, the "Seven Sisters" of U.S. stocks lost approximately $1.04 trillion in market value in a single day, with Nvidia dropping 9.26%, resulting in a loss of over $440 billion in market value, which is 2 to 4 times the decline of core clients like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon.The financial pressure on AI infrastructure investment is increasing. In the third quarter of this year, the combined operating cash flow of Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta was no longer sufficient to cover fixed asset expenditures, with a funding gap of about $26.4 billion, whereas a year ago, the four companies still had a cash flow surplus of about $61.7 billion. Amazon's free cash flow turned from $14.8 billion in the past 12 months to a net outflow of $42.4 billion, while Meta's free cash flow turned negative for the first time in over a decade, and Google's long-term debt increased from about $20 billion to $125 billion.On Election Day, out of 41 local propositions related to data centers in 10 U.S. states, 40 of the voting results leaned towards restricting development, with 27 restrictive or oppositional propositions being passed. Research firm SemiAnalysis predicts that the impact of related policy changes on projects already underway by 2027 will be limited, but it may affect computing power expansion plans for 2028 and beyond. More than 90% of Nvidia's revenue comes from data center business; during the same period, Google Cloud's operating profit in the third quarter reached three times that of the same period last year, AWS's operating profit increased from $11.4 billion to $17.8 billion, and Microsoft Azure's revenue grew by 48%.

Binance founder CZ retweeted a warning about a critical vulnerability in Microsoft Paint, stating: "The application cannot protect you from operating system vulnerabilities, please update your operating system immediately."It is reported that Microsoft has disclosed a Windows Paint vulnerability numbered CVE-2026-83844, with a CVSS score of 8.1, affecting versions of Microsoft Paint below 11.2605.91. The vulnerability stems from an out-of-bounds read issue, which could allow an unauthenticated attacker to remotely execute malicious code without user interaction. Microsoft has released a security patch, and there have been no confirmed reports of the vulnerability being actively exploited. CZ uses this to remind users that application layer security measures cannot replace the security updates of the operating system itself, and system and software patches should be installed promptly.

According to a report by The Information, Microsoft has reduced its capital expenditures for the third quarter by about $5 billion due to delays in the third-party data center it plans to lease. Sources say that the data center project by Iren located in Childress, Texas, has encountered delays, leading Microsoft to postpone some expenditures. Microsoft had previously announced plans to invest $9.7 billion over five years to lease servers equipped with NVIDIA GPUs from Iren.Power supply and grid access have also become bottlenecks for computing power delivery. Last month, Microsoft withdrew from a plan to lease a data center project in the UK from Nscale due to delays in grid access. As self-built data centers struggle to meet demand in a timely manner, Microsoft is simultaneously leasing computing power from multiple cloud service providers.Meanwhile, AI server supplier Supermicro continues to raise its performance expectations. The company's revenue for the first fiscal quarter reached $19.95 billion, exceeding analysts' expectations of $16.39 billion, and it expects revenue for the second fiscal quarter to be between $19.5 billion and $21.5 billion. The revenue forecast for fiscal year 2027 has also been raised from $65 billion to $72 billion to $72 billion to $82 billion. Bernstein pointed out that assessing AI computing power demand cannot simply rely on contract amounts or megawatt scale; it also needs to consider contract cancelability, duration, and actual deployment time; some projects may be delivered in phases, and chip procurement agreements may correspond to the same batch of computing power as data center leasing contracts.

TikTok's parent company ByteDance is considering expanding its data center project located at the Pecém Industrial Port in Ceará, northeastern Brazil, and is looking for developers to be responsible for the second phase of the project. According to informed sources, the scale of the second phase may exceed the current project being constructed in Ceará; the latter has an investment scale of $10 billion and a capacity of 300 megawatts.ByteDance is also in preliminary talks with developers about constructing a data center of similar scale outside Pecém Port, which will serve local customers in Brazil, while the data center inside Pecém Port must export data to enjoy tax incentives. ByteDance previously announced plans to invest 200 billion reais (approximately $36 billion) in phases to build a data center complex in Pecém, with the first phase scheduled to start construction in early 2026.

Despite the panic in the market caused by stricter regulations on data centers after the Democratic Party gained control of Congress, Goldman Sachs has raised its forecast for U.S. data center construction spending, increasing the 2026 expectation from $67 billion to $80 billion, and from $87 billion in 2027 to $100 billion, while also predicting for the first time that it will reach $125 billion in 2028.Goldman Sachs pointed out that there are currently about 86 GW of data center projects under construction in the U.S., with approximately $900 billion in high-confidence projects awaiting construction, indicating that the overall construction cycle remains resilient. The demand and backlog orders from hyperscale cloud service providers such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Google have not shown significant cooling, with H100 computing power rental prices rising 26% year-on-year and GB200 rental prices increasing by 50% since the beginning of the year.In response to the data center moratorium proposed by Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa, Goldman Sachs believes that its impact is more about delaying project delivery rather than directly canceling construction plans, but it may lead to increased financing costs, reduced tax incentives, and some clients canceling contracts. Goldman Sachs also warned that the overall growth prospects of the industry need to be distinguished from the survival capabilities of individual developers, as highly leveraged data center developers may face severe financial pressure due to project delays and rising financing costs, with some companies potentially unable to last until their projects go into production.
