El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele shared a video showing the clear progress of the country’s Bitcoin (BTC) mining facility, powered by volcanic geothermal energy.
The video shows an overview of a power generation plant with technicians making cryptocurrency mining rigs possible.

The President’s Office did not immediately respond to Cointelegraph’s request for comment.
The post comes a few months after Bukele announced plans to build a geothermal bitcoin mining facility. The president said in June that he would instruct the state-owned energy company LaGeo to manage a Bitcoin mining facility that runs on “very cheap, 100% clean, 100% renewable, zero-emission” energy.

According to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Bitcoin hit the renewable energy benchmark in July, suggesting that renewable energy usage “could be at or above 50%.
