Nation-states Piling In (Patreon)

In 2020, no governments mined Bitcoin. By 2025, 12 countries are doing it — from Bhutan’s hydro power and El Salvador’s volcano energy to Japan’s grid-stabilizing projects. Others like Iran, the UAE, and France are in too.

This shift adds security, credibility, and global balance to the Bitcoin network. More countries mining means more computing power protecting it and less risk from any single nation’s control.

It’s not just about earning Bitcoin — it’s governments investing in digital gold and backing the future of sound money. Great for adoption.
