El Salvador is exploring innovative ways to improve Bitcoin mining operations$BTC , and President Nayib Bukele is proposing a unique approach — leasing the country's volcanoes to miners.
The idea, published on November 25 on the social network X (formerly Twitter), suggests that miners could use the geothermal energy generated by these natural wonders for sustainable Bitcoin mining.
The inspiration came from a social media post that detailed the successful use of geothermal energy in El Salvador, which has already facilitated the mining of 474 BTC worth 46 million dollars. With 170 volcanoes... the program 'lease your volcano for Bitcoin mining' really could make sense.
