Marathon Digital, a mining company, pilots the use of Bitcoin computing power to heat 11,000 Finnish residents
On June 22, according to Bitcoin.com, Bitcoin mining company Marathon Digital Holdings announced a new 2 megawatt (MW) pilot project to use the heat generated by Bitcoin mining operations to heat a community of 11,000 residents in Finland. The plan is the first digital asset computing operation designed by Marathon for a regional heating solution.
The core of the project is to heat water in a centralized location and distribute it to local areas through underground pipes. Marathon is exploring ways to monetize its computing power by generating recycled heat instead of relying on fossil fuels.
