Iran Controls Up to 8% of Bitcoin Hashrate

Iran is estimated to account for around 6–8% of global Bitcoin mining, making it one of the largest mining hubs.

Around 70% of this activity is reportedly linked to entities connected to the military.

That puts a meaningful share of Bitcoin’s infrastructure in a geopolitically sensitive region.
