2026.03.04 09:42:59

March 4 — Paraguay’s national power utility ANDE has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with crypto infrastructure firm Morphware to launch the country’s first government-led Bitcoin mining pilot project, using confiscated mining rigs. Initially, roughly 1,500 seized rigs will be deployed, leveraging the nation’s surplus hydropower for compliant mining operations. Under the terms of the agreement, ANDE will own and oversee the mining farm, while Morphware provides technical and operational support. For the mined Bitcoin, the government is weighing selling the tokens for public spending or holding a portion via financial instruments. (Source: BitcoinMagazine)
