CHAPTER

Bitcoin Mining and Country Balance Sheets

The chapter explores the implications of countries engaging in Bitcoin mining as a means to monetize their excess energy efficiently and gain access to hard currency, contrasting with countries like El Salvador that are buying and holding Bitcoin for their balance sheets.

Additionally, the shift of Bitcoin mining from China to the United States post the ban on Bitcoin is discussed, along with the challenges and opportunities faced by miners in adapting to the evolving industry landscape.
