A newly released documentary sheds light on HIVE's operations in Paraguay, where the company has found a clever use for the country's excess hydroelectric capacity. Instead of letting that clean energy go to waste, they're channeling it into Bitcoin mining operations while simultaneously building out infrastructure that could support AI workloads down the line. Paraguay's hydroelectric dams generate way more power than the local market can absorb, making it an ideal location for energy-intensive crypto mining that actually benefits from renewables. The short film walks through how this setup works and why converting stranded hydro power into digital assets makes economic sense for both the company and the region.

The logic behind green energy mining does make sense, but whether it can actually be implemented is another question.

Seeking green energy for mining, Paraguay is playing a brilliant move.

The hydroelectric mining scheme in Paraguay is really clever—you get to use surplus electricity for free and still earn BTC. Why didn’t they do this sooner?

Damn, HIVE’s move is brilliant. Paraguay's hydropower was going to waste, and now they’re using it directly for mining. This is true sustainability.

HIVE has really figured out how to make use of Paraguay's hydropower. The logic behind green energy mining actually makes sense.

stranded hydro turning into btc... now that's a narrative arc i didn't expect to vibe with. usually these ops feel extractive as hell but this one? almost poetic in a contrarian way. the sentiment shift potential here is wild if they actually follow through

ngl the stranded energy angle is fascinating from a game-theoretic standpoint... but has anyone actually modeled the long-term implications for Paraguay's grid stability? feels like we're optimizing for utilization without examining the consensus mechanisms around resource allocation here

Paraguay's hydropower has really been revitalized by HIVE; this move is quite impressive.

Paraguay's hydroelectric power has really been wasted for so many years, and finally someone thought of mining as a solution.
