Hive’s HPC and Paraguay Plans, and What a Red Wave Means for BTC w/ Frank Holmes

Welcome back to the Bitcoin Stock Show!

For today’s show, we’re joined by Hive Digital Co-Founder and Executive Chairman Frank Holmes. We recorded this on the day after the 2024 US elections, and since the Republican party swept the Presidency, Senate, and (probably) the House, we had to get Frank’s take on what the Red Wave means for Bitcoin and its mining industry — and whether or not this election marks a sea change in Washington’s attitude toward Bitcoin. Turning the focus to Hive, we also touch on the company’s HPC plans and its 100 MW expansion into Paraguay.
