Belarus president Alexander Lukashenko has reportedly ordered his administration to explore Bitcoin-Mijnbouw to take advantage of the surplus energy of the country, the state national news agency Beita of the State reported on March 4.
According to the report, Lukashenko emphasized that the country should use its surplus electricity for crypto -mining, pointing to an increased demand and potential profitability.
The directive, announced during his appointment of Minister of Energy Alexei Kushnarenko, emphasizes the growing interest of the government in terms of digital assets.
He noted that various proposals had reached his office and referred to the plans of the United States for a national crypto reserve as a sign of the growing importance of the sector.
The president stated:
“Look at this mining. More and more people turn to me. If it is profitable for us, let’s do it. We have surplus electricity. Let them make this cryptocurrency, and so on. ‘
In view of this, the president outlined two possible approaches to White -Russia: either mining cryptocurrencies directly with the help of state resources or selling electricity to investors for their mining activities.
Why Bitcoin -Mybouw?
The step to push Bitcoin -mining is in line with a broader trend of government involvement in the crypto sector. Countries like Russia have implemented regulations to manage and integrate mining activities into formal economic structures.
Yet the movements are not surprising, given a recent one study The PerryMan group revealed that the sector contributed more than 31,000 jobs and generated more than $ 4.1 billion annually in gross economic output for the US.
Bitcoin environmental activist Daniel Batton marked New peer-reviewed mining and energy research that shows its environmental benefits.
According to him, the study has discovered that mining activities with wasted, surplus or renewable energy sources can help promote cleaner energy consumption and reduce the carbon footprint of the power production.
The findings indicate that bitcoin -mining economic stimuli adjusts with sustainability goals with the help of stranded or renewable energy sources.
The research also challenges the perception of mining as an energy-intensive burden, instead frame it as a flexible mechanism that supports sustainable energy practices.
Moreover, it corresponds to the principles of circular economy by maximizing the use of resources and minimizing waste.
