Owing to cheap electricity, Iceland is one of the first countries to see industrial-scale Bitcoin mining.
According to Bitcoin mining researcher Jaran Mellerud, the country’s entrepreneurial locals can also be attributed to the growth of the sector. The Icelandic bitcoin mining industry is estimated to consume nearly 120 MW, equating to a share of 1.3% of the global hash rate production. Considering the fact that Iceland has a population of only 370,000, it is the biggest hash rate producer per capita.
