BTC: Bitcoin miners pay Paraguay $350 million a year, but AI is pushing them out

Published: 14 November 2026

BTC market note dated 14 November 2026. This is an independent English brief of a public news item; it does not add trade levels.

What happened

• Contracts that sell power to a 4% slice of the world’s bitcoin mining at $44 a megawatt-hour expire on Dec. 31, 2027. Paraguay’s state utility calls the date final, and it has just signed a 15-year deal to power a Founders Fund-backed AI campus.

What the figures mean

Independent check on the printed figures (350 million, 4%, 44, 31): confirm the unit, the session or as-of timestamp, and whether the number is a flow, a price, a rate, or a count before treating the headline as a directional call for BTC. This page restates source figures; it does not invent a second dataset.

Why it matters

The item is included because it is substantively about BTC (institutions, policy, flows, security, or network use), not a passing mention.

What to watch

Separate confirmed actions from speculation in the source. No price target is invented here.
