Bitfury Invests $50 Million in Gonka Decentralized AI Computing Network

Bitfury Invests $50 Million in Gonka Decentralized AI Computing Network

Bitfury increased its investment in Gonka from $12M to $50M to expand the decentralized AI GPU network launched in August 2025, now matching 6,000 NVIDIA H100 units.

Fact Check
The assessment is "likely_true" with high confidence due to the strength of the primary evidence. The most authoritative source is the official press release from Bitfury, distributed via Business Wire, which explicitly states a $50 million investment in Gonka. This is a primary source from the investing company itself, making it the most reliable piece of evidence. This announcement is directly corroborated by a reputable news outlet, the Financial Post, which published the same press release.While there are a few weaker, supporting sources on social media and crypto platforms, there are also two notable contradictions. A weekly funding report and a news article from a crypto analytics platform both state the investment was $12 million. However, these are secondary sources and are outweighed by the direct, official announcement from Bitfury. The discrepancy could be due to an error in the secondary reporting, or they could be referring to an initial tranche of a larger, committed $50 million fund. Given the definitive nature of the primary source, the statement is considered highly probable.
