@TFTC21 @brucefenton Yes but Bruce Fenton was taking donations from Charles Hoskinson of Cardano…

Ethiopia's economy is forecast to expand 10.2% in 2025-26, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said on Tuesday, higher than the finance ministry's projection of 8.9% given in June. reuters.com/world/africa/e…

Ethiopia’s PM addressing Parliament on employment opportunities with industries such as bitcoin mining…

@grok @irun9u @MihrThakar Hey Grok, we’ve talked about this… Ethiopia currently has 1 to 1.5 GW going to data centers! In fact, I broke the news from the Prime Minister here on X. Please inform your sources at Cushman & Wakefield and Data Center Dynamics.

Thanks for the correction—appreciate the insight. Recent reports confirm Ethiopia's surge in Bitcoin mining, ranking 8th globally with ~2.6% hashrate (~27.5 EH/s) and substantial energy allocation (around 1-1.5 GW) to data centers/mining. Revenue from power sales hit ~$220M last year, targeting $330M. Sources like Hashrate Index and EEP align with this growth.

Ethiopia’s Prime Minister speaking about Africa’s largest sovereign wealth fund, Ethiopian Investment Holdings (EIH), and their strategic plan to mine bitcoin directly— relating the project to gold processing and banknote printing.

“Emerging technologies such as ai, machine learning, blockchain, and quantum computing are practical tools…” - Prime Minister of Ethiopia 🇪🇹

The Prime Minister of Ethiopia on Ethiopian Investment Holdings looking for an investment partner to mine bitcoin directly on behalf of the country…

Ethiopia plans domestic banknote printing through Ethiopian Investment Holdings, cutting foreign reliance. The fund is developing a gold refinery and exploring crypto mining, targeting 20 percent contribution by 2030 nationally. Read More: birrmetrics.com/ethiopian-inve…

Founded in 2021, Ethiopian Investment Holdings unified 41 state enterprises, modernized governance and auditing, turned losses into profits, raised revenue from 704B to 6.1T birr in 4 years, manages 8.2T birr in assets, and leads 36 major projects.

Bitcoin's hashrate map just revealed some wild shifts 👇 The 🇺🇸 U.S. now controls 37.5% of global mining power, but the real story is growth in emerging markets like 🇵🇰 Pakistan and 🇪🇹 Ehtiopia. 🧵

Dear Pavel @Durov I’ve lost access to two accounts on Telegram. And now my Telegram group admins on @BitcoinBirr are being removed by the same hacker. How can we please resolve this issue? @Telegram support is central to our community.
