Bitcoin miner Hive taps Paraguay for low-cost energy partnership
Hive Digital Technologies president and CEO Aydin Kilic said Hive is not engaging in short-term regional arbitrage but sees Paraguay as a long-term clean energy partner.
Several crypto-focused organizations — including Bitcoin (BTC) mining companies — are eyeing a US return, primarily driven by uncertain geopolitical tensions. Still, BTC miner Hive Digital Technologies is doubling down on the untapped potential of the Latin American (LATAM) market.
