Japan joins the government mining club, with 11 countries officially participating globally.

[Bit推] Japan has officially joined the government-level Mining support queue.

According to the latest research by asset management firm VanEck, Japan has become the 11th country in the world to use official resources to support Bitcoin Mining—this does not include the United States. Interestingly, this trend has been brewing since 2020, with a diverse array of participants: there are energy-rich countries like Iran and Russia, as well as small but aggressive pioneers like Bhutan and El Salvador; there are Middle Eastern oil magnates from the UAE and Oman, along with emerging African economies like Ethiopia and Kenya, and even Argentina and France are getting involved.

This list itself speaks volumes – mining is no longer a game for retail investors; governments around the world are treating it as a new leverage in energy strategy, foreign exchange reserves, and even geopolitics.
