U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Angus King have raised concerns about Iran's cryptocurrency mining activities, urging the Biden administration to address how these operations may be facilitating Iran's unbridled evasion of sanctions. The senators highlighted the national security threat posed by Iran's increasingly profitable bitcoin mining sector, which reportedly earned up to $1 billion in 2021 alone. They emphasized the need for a crackdown on these activities, which they believe could be funding proxy wars and threatening U.S. security.
