Bitcoin Mining Costs Could Ease if Venezuelan Oil Production Expands

The potential expansion of Venezuelan oil production, facilitated by U.S. firms gaining access to its large reserves, could lower global energy prices and reduce Bitcoin mining costs. Analysts note that cheaper electricity would directly benefit miners facing rising operational expenses. However, despite Venezuela’s significant oil reserves, its current production remains low due to underinvestment and sanctions. Restoring production to previous levels could require over $100 billion and take years to achieve. While lower energy costs may improve mining profitability, experts caution that factors like network difficulty, hardware efficiency, and regulations also play crucial roles. This development highlights how shifts in energy markets can influence cryptocurrency mining dynamics globally.

USA, Russia quietly discuss Bitcoin mining at ZNPP as Kyiv is left out – Details

According to reports from Kommersant, U.S. and Russian officials have privately discussed using the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) for large-scale Bitcoin mining, potentially making it a bargaining chip in broader peace negotiations. While the official topic of Russia’s State Council meeting was routine, President Putin reportedly indicated U.S. interest in acquiring a stake in ZNPP for crypto mining, shifting its role from a military asset to digital infrastructure. The plant, non-operational since 2022, remains a focal point in management disputes. The U.S. has proposed a three-way operational split, while Ukraine rejects joint control with Russia, instead advocating a 50-50 partnership with the U.S. This development aligns with Russia’s broader strategy to tightly regulate crypto assets by 2026, treating external activity as illegal by 2027. The proposal highlights the unpredictable nature of modern diplomacy, blending energy politics, digital economics, and territorial negotiations.

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.

2025 Asset Review: Why Did Bitcoin Significantly Underperform Gold and U.S. Stocks?

In 2025, Bitcoin underperformed compared to gold and U.S. equities, particularly AI-driven tech stocks like NVIDIA, due to several fundamental factors. First, the rise of generative AI created a more efficient energy-to-value conversion, diverting capital and electricity from Bitcoin mining to high-margin AI data centers. This shift prioritized productivity gains over digital scarcity. Second, gold’s atomic-level physical certainty made it a superior hedge against geopolitical instability and systemic risks, whereas Bitcoin remains reliant on digital infrastructure and liquidity channels. Third, Bitcoin ETFs institutionalized the asset, reducing its volatility and aligning it more with traditional risk models, dampening its speculative appeal amid prolonged high-interest rates. Finally, the opportunity cost of holding non-cash-flow-generating Bitcoin increased as investors chased exponential growth in AI. Bitcoin’s current phase represents a recalibration within a complex system—yielding temporarily to AI-driven productivity and defensive asset demand—rather than a long-term failure. It remains a potential long-term store of value awaiting future liquidity cycles.

2025 Asset Review: Why Did Bitcoin Significantly Underperform Gold and U.S. Stocks?

In 2025, Bitcoin underperformed compared to both gold and U.S. equities, particularly those driven by AI leaders like NVIDIA. This divergence stems from deeper physical and informational dynamics rather than mere price movements. A key factor is energy arbitrage and shifting computational priorities. AI's exponential growth in total factor productivity has attracted massive capital and energy investment, diverting resources away from Bitcoin mining. Electricity used for AI training now yields higher marginal economic returns than Bitcoin’s proof-of-work mechanism, leading many miners to transition to AI data centers. Gold’s strong performance reflects its atomic-level certainty amid rising geopolitical entropy. As a physical store of value, it remains viable without digital infrastructure—unlike Bitcoin, which still depends on internet connectivity and centralized liquidity channels. Bitcoin is increasingly seen as a liquidity overflow asset, while gold serves as a hedge against systemic collapse. The introduction of Bitcoin ETFs has also diluted its volatility, integrating it into traditional portfolios and reducing its explosive potential. It now behaves more like a high-beta tech asset, sensitive to prolonged high-interest rates. Moreover, the opportunity cost of holding non-cash-flow-generating Bitcoin has risen as capital flocks to high-growth equities anticipating a productivity singularity led by AI. From a complex systems perspective, the current phase represents a recalibration. U.S. markets are in a parabolic AI-driven acceleration, while gold acts as a Cantor Set-like resilient core in a fragmenting global order. Bitcoin is caught between sell pressure from early adopters and steady institutional accumulation, leading to low volatility and price compression—a dynamic known as attractor reorganization. Bitcoin hasn’t been invalidated; it is being repriced. It temporarily yields to AI-driven growth and geopolitical safety but remains a long-term cross-cycle store of value, awaiting future liquidity expansion and shifts in technological efficiency.

Why the ‘great China Bitcoin mining crackdown’ fell short of early claims

Recent reports of a major Bitcoin mining crackdown in China’s Xinjiang region were overstated, according to data from TheMinerMag. While a short-term hashrate decline occurred, the net loss was around 20 EH/s—far less than initial claims of 100 EH/s. Major mining pools recovered within days, indicating a temporary disruption rather than a sustained shutdown. Notably, the largest hashrate drops came from North American pools like Foundry USA. The incident, linked to operational or compliance issues rather than a coordinated crackdown, highlights that China still accounts for an estimated 15–20% of global Bitcoin mining activity despite the 2021 ban.

Jimmy Carr Tells UK To Mine Bitcoin With Wasted Night-Time Power

UK comedian Jimmy Carr proposed that the UK government should mine Bitcoin using excess electricity generated at night by power stations. He suggested this as a way to generate non-tax revenue and utilize underutilized national infrastructure, framing it as part of a broader push for more radical thinking in public finance. Carr argued that certain national assets, like energy resources, should benefit the public directly. While not a detailed policy proposal, his comments position Bitcoin as a state-producible asset that can be held as reserve value. The idea mirrors real-world examples like Bhutan and El Salvador, which use surplus renewable energy for mining.

Xinjiang's Computing Power Resurges, Then Gets Cleared Out Within 48 Hours: What Exactly Happened to the Bitcoin Network This Time?

On December 16, Bitcoin network hashrate dropped sharply within 48 hours, widely attributed to the concentrated shutdown and clearance of mining facilities in Xinjiang. Estimates suggest between 200,000 to 400,000 mining machines went offline, causing a hashrate decline of nearly 30%, from around 1200 EH/s to approximately 836 EH/s at its lowest. The resurgence of mining in Xinjiang was driven by three factors: surplus energy capacity and low electricity prices, underutilized data center infrastructure seeking revenue, and shorter ROI periods for miners amid rising Bitcoin prices. Despite China’s clear policy against cryptocurrency mining—classifying it as an obsolete industry—mining resurfaced periodically due to economic pressures and infrastructure availability. The recent crackdown was swift and severe, following a multi-department regulatory meeting emphasizing continued strict oversight of crypto-related activities, including anti-money laundering and cross-border capital risks. The concentrated nature of mining operations in specific regions meant that regulatory actions led to large-scale, simultaneous shutdowns. Short-term impacts include disrupted cash flows for miners and potential market volatility due to heightened policy sensitivity. In the medium term, the Bitcoin network will adjust mining difficulty, and hashrate is likely to migrate to other regions. The event underscores that mining in China remains a high-risk, grey-area activity driven by economic incentives rather than regulatory greenlight.

a16z Bets on Energy Tokenization Experiment: How Will DayFi Use DeFi to Restructure the Power Grid? Jae 2025/12/13 12:00

a16z Backs Energy Tokenization Experiment: How DayFi Aims to Restructure the Grid with DeFi As global tech giants compete for computing power, electricity has become a critical resource. DayFi, a decentralized energy capital markets protocol under the Daylight ecosystem, is launching a $50 million pre-deposit event on December 16. Backed by a16z Crypto and Framework Ventures, DayFi tokenizes future electricity revenue into tradable crypto assets. The protocol allows users to deposit stablecoins to mint GRID—a fully collateralized stablecoin—and then stake it to receive sGRID, a yield-bearing token representing a share in energy asset revenue. This creates a flywheel effect: liquidity funds distributed energy projects, which generate tokenized returns for holders. However, DayFi faces significant regulatory challenges. sGRID may be classified as a security by the SEC, requiring strict disclosures. Additionally, FERC’s restrictions on disclosing critical energy infrastructure data conflict with DeFi’s transparency requirements. Technical solutions like zero-knowledge proofs may be needed to verify收益 without exposing sensitive data. Valuation of the underlying energy assets—solar panels, batteries—also remains uncertain, with risks of depreciation and potential manipulation. Despite these hurdles, DayFi represents an ambitious attempt to bridge DeFi with physical energy grids, transforming electricity into a dynamic, tradable asset amid growing AI-driven power demand.
