$BTC PUTIN JUST PULLED BITCOIN INTO GEOPOLITICS ⚠️
While markets were quiet over Christmas, Putin dropped a strategic headline bomb:
“The U.S. wants joint control of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant… to mine Bitcoin.”
What was claimed On Dec 24, Putin told Russian business leaders that Washington proposed sharing Zaporizhzhia NPP’s ~6 GW capacity for crypto mining.
Source: Russian state media only.
U.S. confirmation: none.
Reality check • IAEA says restarting the plant is not feasible — no cooling water, unstable grid
• Zaporizhzhia has lost external power 12 times since 2022
• All six reactors remain in cold shutdown
• Russia still licensed Reactor 1 on Dec 23
The signal Zelenskyy dismissed any idea of joint control as unrealistic: “How can there be joint commerce after everything?”
What’s really happening This isn’t about energy or Bitcoin mining.
It’s a political probe.
Putin is testing whether Trump’s pro-Bitcoin stance can be leveraged to legitimize Russian control over occupied Ukrainian infrastructure.
Crypto is the wrapper.
Sovereignty is the target.
Why the timing matters • Trump meets Zelenskyy today
• Zaporizhzhia is one of three unresolved points in the peace framework
• Putin just tried to set the narrative before talks even start
What to watch • Any U.S. acknowledgment of “energy discussions” → major shift
• Any Ukrainian concession → sovereignty red line crossed
• IAEA veto → story ends immediately
If a nation successfully monetizes occupied nuclear infrastructure for Bitcoin, it sets a global precedent.
That’s the real headline.
