Investors are questioning insider and strategic shareholder sales at firms including TeraWulf, Cipher Digital, Riot Platforms, Core Scientific, and Bitdeer, and whether the AI pivot will benefit public shareholders. TeraWulf is cited after its CEO and a related entity sold shares before the company announced a 20-year AI infrastructure lease with Anthropic.
