Bittensor is gearing up for its first halving.
And it could trigger the AI Supercycle
Here’s why $TAO might become the
“Bitcoin of Artificial Intelligence.” 🧵
👇
1/ First, the basics.
Bittensor ( $TAO ) isn’t just another AI token.
It’s a decentralized intelligence network, a blockchain where machines compete to produce knowledge, and earn rewards for it.
Think Bitcoin mining, but for AI.
2/ Every machine, called a “miner” runs in subnets.
Each subnet serves a real AI function:
→ Drug discovery (Nova)
→ Sports predictions (Sportstensor)
→ Code generation (Ridges AI)
→ GPU rentals (Celium)
The network is expanding fast.

3/ In Q3 2025 alone:
• +50% more subnets
• +16% more miners
• +28% more active wallets
• +21.5% more TAO staked
The ecosystem is evolving into a self-assembling AI supercomputer.
4/ Then there’s the scarcity.
TAO has a hard cap of 21 million tokens, just like Bitcoin.
Halvings every 4 years.
Next one → December 11–12, 2025.
Daily emissions drop from 7,200 → 3,600 TAO.
Half the supply. Double the attention.
6/ TAO’s price action is already reflecting that momentum:
• +21% in early October, even as BTC dumped
• +32% after Grayscale’s filing
• +42% in 48 hours mid-month
Currently ~$410, up 1,200% from its all-time low.
7/ The upcoming halving changes everything.
Rewards drop 50%.
Emission-based mining ends.
Only efficient, valuable AI subnets survive.
The weak get cut. The strong compound.
It’s survival of the smartest.
8/ And that’s where the “AI Supercycle” idea comes in.
The halving creates scarcity just as AI demand explodes.
Think Bitcoin’s 2012 halving…
but powered by decentralized machine intelligence.
9/ Post-halving, TAO could evolve into a neural economy
where subnets trade intelligence like commodities:
GPU power, predictions, even code.
Every subnet adds utility.
Every utility adds value.
An infinite feedback loop.
10/ Analysts see it clearly:
→ $470–$500 short-term targets
→ $770+ by end of 2025
→ $1,000+ in the “supercycle” scenario
Some even call it “the most asymmetric play in decentralized AI.”
11/ TAO’s story is bigger than price.
It’s the collision of two revolutions:
→ Artificial Intelligence
→ Decentralized Networks
If Bitcoin tokenized money,
Bittensor is tokenizing intelligence itself.
