We spoke with Gabriel Lamas, HIVE Digital Technologies Country President for Paraguay, at Mining Disrupt 2026. Hear how Bitcoin mining is helping Paraguay turn abundant energy into economic growth and opportunity. 👇

@HIVEDigitalTech Paraguay's energy surplus being converted into Bitcoin mining is one of the cleaner examples of how mining can align with a country's economic interests. cheap renewable hydro that would otherwise be curtailed becomes a dollar-denominated export.

@HIVEDigitalTech The local economic impact is often overlooked in conversations about Bitcoin mining.

@HIVEDigitalTech Abundant renewable energy can become jobs, investment, and stronger local communities.

@HIVEDigitalTech done

@HIVEDigitalTech Paraguay has the energy advantage to become a major digital infrastructure hub.

@HIVEDigitalTech Paraguay’s energy story is becoming increasingly important for the global mining industry.

@HIVEDigitalTech Energy that might otherwise remain underutilized can support meaningful regional growth.

@HIVEDigitalTech paraguay's got that hydro surplus, mining is the perfect use case for it

@HIVEDigitalTech That's great

@HIVEDigitalTech Hive is Top mining🇵🇾👌

@HIVEDigitalTech Paraguay is showing how energy abundance can translate into digital economic growth.

@HIVEDigitalTech Awesome

@HIVEDigitalTech Turning surplus energy into productive hash rate creates local economic loops. Mining can convert stranded power into tangible growth and jobs.

@HIVEDigitalTech 👍

@HIVEDigitalTech Great to hear directly from the team building HIVE’s presence in Paraguay.

@HIVEDigitalTech Gabriel explains the opportunity clearly without overcomplicating the bigger picture.

@HIVEDigitalTech This goes far beyond mining equipment and has real economic development potential.
