According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin (BTC) mining company Marathon Digital (MARA) reached an agreement with Kenya's Ministry of Energy and Petroleum on Friday to develop the African country's energy infrastructure through an investment of more than $80 million. The goal of the cooperation is to "monetize Kenya's underutilized energy and jointly develop technology projects," said Fred Thiel, CEO of Marathon. The company announced on social media that the investment will be used for green data centers. Marathon also pointed out in the press release that the funds will include foreign investment without specifying the source of the funds. "Foreign investment is expected to exceed $80 million, and this project is expected to bring economic benefits to the Kenyan economy and generate income for the local energy sector ecosystem." The statement reads. The cooperation is the result of Marathon's negotiations with the country earlier this month to help manage its renewable energy operations and provide advice on its digital asset regulatory regime.
