Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant For Crypto Mining? Putin Claims US Interest

Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed the United States is interested in using the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant’s electricity for crypto mining and supplying power to Ukraine, according to a report citing Russian media. The plant, Europe’s largest nuclear facility, was captured by Russian forces in 2022 and has since halted power generation. While crypto mining—an energy-intensive process—could utilize excess energy, reactivating the plant remains complex. All six reactors are shut down, and the International Atomic Energy Agency states that restart is impossible while military conflict continues. Meanwhile, Bitcoin trades around $88,600.
