Asia accounts for over 60% of global Bitcoin hashrate, and extreme ocean heat accelerates extreme weather events (typhoons, droughts) that threaten both hydroelectric and coal-based mining infrastructure. This adds a layer of tail risk for miners and could accelerate regulatory pressure for greener energy standards, potentially shifting mining geography toward cooler, more stable regions.

A report published in Nature indicates that oceans in Asia have set new heat records, highlighting the region's vulnerability to climate change.
