The Salvadoran plan to 'rent 170 volcanoes' uses geothermal energy to mine Bitcoin, aiming to attract global miners and reduce costs. This idea stems from the country's previous success in using this energy to mine 474 Bitcoins, valued at 46 million dollars.

Daniel Alvarez, the director of the energy department, stated that he will draft a geothermal energy bill to implement this plan. El Salvador currently holds 5,932 Bitcoins, valued at 585.2 million dollars, with unrealized profits of approximately 168 million dollars.
