Argentina To Start Bitcoin Mining Using Stranded Gas


Published Wednesday 8th May 2024

Argentina is set to enter the world of Bitcoin mining by leveraging its stranded gas resources. Genesis Digital Assets Limited (GDA) has teamed up with YPF Luz to establish a cutting-edge mining facility in the country. This strategic partnership intends to utilize excess gas from oil fields that would otherwise go to waste. By harnessing this stranded gas, the project not only unlocks a new revenue stream but also contributes to reducing emissions, making it an environmentally friendly initiative.

The collaboration between GDA and YPF Luz will see the launch of a Bitcoin mining facility with a capacity of 7 MW. This facility will house around 1,200 BTC mining machines, marking a significant step towards establishing Argentina as a key player in the global Bitcoin mining sector. With the increasing interest and investment in cryptocurrency mining operations, this project is poised to create job opportunities, drive economic growth, and position Argentina as a hub for sustainable and profitable Bitcoin mining activities.
