March 31 (The Block) — Bitcoin miner Bitdeer said Monday it’s partnering to build Norway’s largest AI data center. Bitdeer’s subsidiary Tydal Data Center AS (TDC) has contracted with Norwegian firm Data Center Installations AS (DCI) to “construct and retrofit” an existing facility for Nvidia’s latest Vera Rubin AI technology. Once complete, the data center will “primarily” support the technology’s operational needs. TDC co-founder and chair Haakon Bryhni noted: “Retrofitting the Tydal facility for large-scale AI deployment is a key part of Bitdeer’s global strategy to meet booming AI data center demand. This puts TDC at the forefront of the AI revolution—delivering sustainable, capital-efficient growth while creating local value.” The collaboration marks Bitdeer’s latest push to accelerate its AI shift.

March 31 – **Fed Signals Dovish Pause** Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell struck a dovish tone Monday, saying the central bank’s current policy stance is well-calibrated and it can afford to wait and assess how conditions evolve. While the ongoing energy shock persists, long-term inflation expectations remain stable, and the Fed has not yet determined a response to the latest developments (it still lacks clarity on the shock’s magnitude, making early conclusions premature). Markets reacted by pricing out Fed rate hike bets, with traders now factoring in potential rate cuts later this year. However, Powell’s comments failed to stem U.S. stock weakness. **Middle East Tensions Escalate** U.S. stocks opened higher but reversed lower as Middle East tensions flared: Former President Donald Trump issued new threats to Iran, Tehran rejected U.S. negotiation claims, and Kuwait reported an oil tanker attack. - Trump’s threat: “The U.S. is in serious talks with a new, more ratio

**March 31 — Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Baghaei said in a social media post Wednesday that Iran has held no negotiations with the U.S. since the American attack on Iran, noting the 31-day stretch without talks. Baghaei added the U.S. has sent negotiation requests and a proposal package to Iran via intermediaries, including Pakistan.

**March 31** Republican Senators Cynthia Lummis and Bill Cassidy on Monday introduced the *Mined in America Act*—legislation aimed at expanding cryptocurrency mining’s role in the U.S. economy while codifying former President Trump’s executive order to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve. The bill would task the Department of Commerce with launching a voluntary certification program for mining pools and facilities, and require certified sites to phase out mining machines made by foreign adversaries. In a statement, Lummis said: “Trump promised to make America the digital asset capital of the world, and we won’t back down. The *Mined in America Act* will bring this industry home with forward-thinking steps to secure our financial future.” Senator Cassidy added on X: “Digital asset mining is a critical part of our economy—one we should advance domestically.” **Background** Earlier this March, Trump signed an executive order to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve, leverag
