Могилевская область начала подготовку майнинговых площадок после решения президента о развитии криптодобычи в Беларуси. Председатель Могилевского облисполкома Анатолий Исаченко сообщил, что регион располагает необходимыми энергетическими мощностями для создания дата-центров и майнинговых ферм.

«У нас в Могилевской области есть хорошие площадки с энергетическими мощностями, все необходимое для того, чтобы строить дата-центры, майнинговые фермы. Было получено добро. Мы готовим эти площадки, чтобы проводить конкурсы, чтобы заходил инвестор и занимался строительством», — рассказал Исаченко.

Первая майнинговая ферма в области уже строится на территории Кричевского района с участием китайских инвесторов. Стоимость первой очереди составляет 190 млн белорусских рублей, ввод в эксплуатацию планируется в 2025 году. Облисполком ведет работу с правительством по вопросам размещения новых подобных объектов, учитывая имеющуюся энергетическую инфраструктуру района.

Президентский импульс для криптодобычи

Инициатива по развитию майнинговых мощностей в Могилевской области появилась после поручения президента Беларуси Александра Лукашенко развивать майнинг криптовалют в стране. 4 марта, обращаясь к новому министру энергетики Алексею Кушнаренко, глава государства отметил растущий интерес к этому направлению.

«Посмотрите по этому майнингу. Все больше людей ко мне обращаются. Если нам это выгодно, давайте будем делать. У нас избыток электричества есть. Пускай делают они эту криптовалюту и так далее. Тем более, вы видите, каким путем мир идет. И особенно крупнейшая экономика мира. Они вчера объявили, что в резерве будут держать», — сказал Лукашенко.

Стратегические перспективы

Президент также подчеркнул необходимость не только привлекать инвесторов, но и развивать собственные майнинговые мощности: «Что ж мы привлекаем каких-то инвесторов, продаем им электроэнергию, хотя я не исключаю это. Но надо самим делать. Предложения такие есть».

Наличие избытка электроэнергии делает Белоруссию потенциально привлекательной для майнинга, который требует значительных энергозатрат. Кроме того, глава государства указал на рост интереса к криптовалютам на мировом уровне, что может обеспечить долгосрочный спрос на продукцию майнинговых ферм.

Реализация майнинговых проектов в Могилевской области может стать важным шагом в развитии современных технологий в Белоруссии. Запуск первой очереди майнинговой фермы в Кричевском районе в 2025 году позволит оценить эффективность такого направления и возможности для его масштабирования.

Google's 'Reasoning King' Also Departs for Meta, Originally Recruited by Fei-Fei Li

"Google's 'King of Reasoning' Leaves for Meta, Quietly Departing After Over Eight Years. Denny Zhou, a key figure behind Google's AI reasoning advancements including work showcased by CEO Sundar Pichai, has joined Meta's MSL as a research scientist. His low-profile move, discovered via a LinkedIn update, occurred months before the high-profile departures of Noam Shazeer to OpenAI and Nobel laureate John Jumper to Anthropic. Zhou was originally recruited to Google by Fei-Fei Li's China center initiative after nearly 11 years at Microsoft. This is part of a significant talent drain at Google, with top researchers like Shazeer (co-author of the Transformer paper) and Jumper (AlphaFold lead) recently leaving for rivals. Reports suggest internal friction is a contributing factor, particularly around Google's strategic shift. The company has reportedly formed a high-priority 'AI Coding Strike Team,' involving co-founder Sergey Brin, to urgently bridge the gap in AI coding agents, potentially reallocating resources and focus away from other research directions like DeepMind's 'world model' AGI approach. This pivot towards commercially-proven coding applications may have influenced departures, as hinted by Shazeer's comment about his compute allocation being given to another team. Meanwhile, Meta continues to bolster its team, also recently hiring UC Berkeley professor and 'security godmother' Dawn Song, along with her startup Virtue AI team, as a VP of AI research."

How Did Hundreds of Billions of Dollars Flow into SpaceX After Its Index Inclusion on June 26th? Will SpaceX Experience a Massive Price Surge?

Will SpaceX ($SPCX) stock surge when billions in passive index fund money flows in on the effective date? A common retail investor belief is that a massive wave of buying will hit on July 6th, when SpaceX joins the Nasdaq-100, potentially causing a huge price spike. However, the reality is far more complex and less dramatic. The anticipated billions are not controlled by a single entity but are spread across hundreds of passive fund managers (e.g., BlackRock, Vanguard) whose sole mandate is to minimize "tracking error." They aim to buy shares at prices as close as possible to the index's closing price on the effective date, not to aggressively drive the price up. There are two key index inclusion scripts: 1) For the Russell US Index (effective June 26th at close), buying is compressed into the final minutes via Market-On-Close (MOC) orders. 2) For the Nasdaq-100 (announced June 26th, effective July 6th), a 10-day window creates a layered game. Arbitrage funds buy early, betting on selling to passive funds later. Some index funds "front-run" by accumulating shares gradually before the deadline. The bulk of passive funds execute large MOC orders at the July 6th close, often trading directly with arbitrageurs. A critical wildcard is SpaceX's limited free float due to a standard 180-day post-IPO lockup. To avoid causing a massive price spike by competing for scarce shares on the open market, large funds will likely use off-exchange methods: 1) Negotiating large block trades (over-the-counter) with major holders. 2) Using derivatives like total return swaps with locked-up shareholders to gain economic exposure without physically buying the stock. Most of the index-driven buying will thus happen invisibly, not on public exchanges. For retail investors, trying to front-run these sophisticated flows is risky. More viable strategies include: waiting for post-inclusion volatility to subside before establishing a long-term position, or employing options strategies like selling strangles to profit from elevated, but potentially overstated, implied volatility around the event. In conclusion, while price appreciation may occur in the days following the announcement due to arbitrage and front-running activity, a single-day "explosive pump" on July 6th is highly unlikely. The major index fund buying will be executed efficiently and discreetly, often away from public markets, turning the anticipated climax into a well-orchestrated, anti-climactic settlement.
