Countries that mine Bitcoin

El Salvador has taken the lead in national Bitcoin adoption by qualifying for legal tender and launching state-supported mining using geothermal energy in 2021. This was followed by the launch of local Bitcoin mining pools in October 2023 and partnerships to establish them. A $1 billion mining farm in June 2023 shows the deepening commitment to cryptocurrencies.

Bhutan is using surplus hydroelectric energy for mining and making expansion plans starting in 2020. Russia entered the field through a partnership between Gazprom and BitRiver.
