With its favorable climate and affordable energy rates, the country has become a notable contender, accounting for up to 6% of the global Bitcoin mining market.

The cost of electricity for households is approximately $0.039 per kWh, while businesses pay $0.033 per kWh, making mining Bitcoin in Algeria a cost-effective activity.

With miners spending around $4,183 to mine one Bitcoin, it's evident that mining activities in the country are highly profitable.
