Sustainable Bitcoin Mining
Total funding doubled week over week, rising to $373m compared to $180m raised last week. Most of the funds raised came from one Mining deal, Volcano Energy. The El Salvador-based sustainable Bitcoin mining company secured $1B in commitments and has received its first $250M in funding, with participation from USDT issuer Tether. The government of El Salvador will have a significant role in planning and execution of the project and will receive 23% of the revenues. The deal was the first mining deal announced in three weeks, and the 2nd largest mining deal this year after Core Scientific’s $500m debt financing in January. Infrastructure had the most deals this week, with nearly half of the total deals announced being infrastructure related deals.
