Bitcoin mining is warming an entire town in Finland thanks to a new project by the world’s largest Bitcoin mining company.

Marathon Digital Holdings has launched a pilot project that uses the recycled heat from Bitcoin BTCUSD mining to warm the houses of over 11,000 residents.

The 2-megawatt pilot project, located in the Satakunte region, was announced in a June 20 X post:
