- —Lula's post-reelection agenda prioritizes power for data centers and AI
- —Bitcoin miners in Brazil could lose access to part of the available capacity
- —No concrete measures or timelines for restricting mining have been announced
Why it matters: Brazil is a significant mining market in Latin America, and shifting energy allocation could cut local hashrate and change the economics of mining farms there.
