Rusal bets half a billion on Bitcoin mining. ⚒️💡
One of the world’s biggest aluminum producers, Rusal, just dropped plans to build a massive $500M mining infrastructure. The move comes through its subsidiary “Rusal Management,” which is already tendering for 162 ASIC containers.
The business model? Not mining for themselves, but hosting services — basically turning their industrial might into a Bitcoin hotel for other mining firms. By March 2026, the first sites should be up and running across Karelia, Murmansk, and Khakassia.
What strikes me here is the scale: a traditional metals giant with deep roots in heavy industry now channeling that power into crypto infrastructure. Ça sent l’inévitable — energy, metals, and Bitcoin are becoming one industrial triangle.
