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. 𝘐𝘊 : 𝘖𝘈𝘒 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩

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.
