Lium Bills $2.76 Million for Computing Rentals in 30 Days Through Nov. 13
Key Facts
Lium network statistics showed that it billed renters $2.76 million over the past 30 days when the page was updated on Nov. 13, 2026. Lium provides GPU rental services within the Bittensor ecosystem, which includes subnets that produce digital commodities such as computing, inference, storage and prediction, according to project documentation. The page reported that the network served 1.13 million GPU hours over the same period. It also recorded 32,015 rental transactions, while disclosed utilization reached 76%. These indicators point to direct commercial activity in computing rentals, but do not in themselves represent annual revenue for all Bittensor subnets.
Lium said 76% of GPU hours offered for rent were leased over the past 30 days. The network listed 2,250 units across 39 models when the page was updated. Of that total, 1,513 units were rented, equivalent to 67% of listed units. The difference between the disclosed utilization rate and the share of rented units reflects the two metrics displayed on the page: the first measures offered hours that were rented, while the second measures the share of listed units that were rented. The statistics did not provide an earlier figure for comparison to measure how these indicators changed over the period.
By model, Lium data showed that 282 of 307 B300 SXM6 AC units were rented at the time of the update. The H200 model had 107 of 195 units rented, while the figure was 269 of 506 for RTX 5090 units. These figures show occupancy across the three models but do not provide a time comparison indicating how demand for them has evolved. Bittensor allocates network emissions across its subnets according to their moving prices, according to protocol documentation. The default allocation of a subnet’s emissions goes to its owner, miners, validators and their stakers, at rates of 18%, 41% and 41%, respectively.
According to Bittensor documentation, the first reduction in TAO issuance took place in December 2025, bringing issuance to 0.5 TAO per block, or about 3,600 TAO per day. This comes amid discussion about linking subnet rewards to their ability to attract actual usage. In its proposed update, Bittensor said the previous system allowed a subnet “that nobody uses” to receive a share of every block. The proposed update links emissions to a network’s ability to attract tangible demand from TAO holders. This rule puts customer demand for computing alongside token allocation mechanisms in assessments of subnet activity.
