Genesis Digital Assets Partners with YPF Luz to Open Bitcoin Mining Facility in Argentina

Genesis Digital Assets Limited, one of the largest Bitcoin mining companies in the world, is making waves with its latest expansion into Argentina. The company has announced a partnership with YPF Luz, a subsidiary of Argentina’s largest electricity company, to open a new bitcoin mining facility in Neuquén Province.

This facility, located at the Bajo del Toro Thermal Power Plant, will utilize stranded gas to power 1,200 bitcoin mining machines. This innovative approach not only helps mitigate the environmental impact of stranded gas but also allows for the monetization of resources that would otherwise go to waste.

In an interview, Executive President of GDA Abdumalik Mirakhmedov highlighted the favorable climate for crypto in Argentina, citing the country’s pro-innovation stance and growing adoption of cryptocurrencies as key factors in the decision to expand operations there.

This move marks a significant shift in the bitcoin mining industry, as Latin America has not traditionally been a major hub for such operations. With Argentina now joining the ranks of countries like Paraguay and Venezuela in embracing bitcoin mining, GDA’s expansion could pave the way for further growth in the region.

Despite regulatory challenges in Argentina’s crypto industry, GDA’s decision to establish a presence in the country underscores the potential it holds for bitcoin miners. As the industry continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how this partnership between GDA and YPF Luz shapes the future of bitcoin mining in Latin America.
