JUST IN: 🇱🇦 Laos is channeling its surplus hydropower into $BTC and crypto mining, according to SCMP.
The government has licensed firms to mine with excess energy, aiming to turn its dam-building spree into new revenue streams.
While surplus power fuels the growth, droughts and grid strain have at times forced limits on mining operations.
A bold move to monetize energy but not without challenges.
