Iran Bitcoin mining operations

While U.S. financial blockades remain in place, Tehran has adjusted its currency rules to let exporters bring capital back home and fund imports through Tether, Bitcoin, or local exchanges. This isn't a small pilot; the strategy is running at scale with roughly $10 billion in crypto volume processed through Iran during 2025. Beyond trading, Iranian miners now control 4.5% of global Bitcoin mining capacity, converting state-subsidized energy directly into digital currency. FT and Iran News Wire report this with Samuel as the writer.
