Africa is quickly becoming a pivotal player in the global Bitcoin mining sector. This is not about extracting energy from communities — it’s about using energy that would otherwise be lost or left idle.
From Gridless in Kenya to hydropower mining in Ethiopia, Bitcoin mining is already supporting rural electrification, making mini-grids commercially viable and funding critical infrastructure.
In Nigeria, mining is converting flared gas into economic opportunities, reducing methane emissions and creating new revenue streams.
Meanwhile, nations like Ethiopia, Kenya, and the DRC are leveraging mining to monetize stranded energy and build long-term digital infrastructure.
More than an economic trend, this is an opportunity for Africa to redefine its
role in global digital innovation, harnessing its natural resources to foster sustainable growth, create jobs, and bridge the digital divide.
