Arthur Hayes: The AI bubble lies in the valuation of indebted and loss-making companies, not AI itself.

BitMEX co-founder and Maelstrom Chief Investment Officer Arthur Hayes has published an article addressing questions about why he is investing in AI and crypto projects despite spotting an AI bubble. Hayes responded that the current AI bubble is primarily concentrated in "debt used to build data centers" and the stock valuations of loss-making hyperscalers and leading AI labs, not in AI technology and applications themselves. "Price is what you pay, value is what you get," he stated. He added that he is "100% convinced in the agentic economy"—a new economic model driven by AI agents. Hayes further pointed out that a large number of data centers built with borrowed funds could eventually result in excess computing power, which would in turn strengthen his investment thesis and boost the development of Flop Labs, the AI-crypto project he backs. Hayes has also previously discussed the impact of AI capital expenditure on market liquidity, arguing that since ChatGPT’s commercial launch, massive funds have flowed into AI infrastructure construction, squeezing the crypto market’s access to new liquidity.
