    4. A recent report presented to the Paraguayan Congress reveals the low employment impact of the country's Bitcoin mining sector, which has generated only 383 direct jobs.

    Key Report Findings

    According to data from the Social Care Institute (IPS), 66% of Bitcoin mining companies in Paraguay report zero workers, contributing nothing to the social security system.

    Employment and Economic Effects

    Nearly half of the companies contribute less than 1% of their electricity costs to social care, highlighting the sector's limited economic benefits to the country. Among the 20 companies contributing to IPS, job creation remains minimal, with just 1.58 jobs per megawatt (MW) of power used.

    Suggestions for Improvement

    The report calls for stricter measures, particularly for large-scale mining operations, to ensure more significant contributions to social welfare. It also echoes concerns previously raised by former President Mario Abdo, who vetoed a bill to legalize cryptocurrency mining in 2022, citing the industry's high energy consumption and low employment generation.

    The report's findings underscore the need for stricter regulation of the Bitcoin mining sector in Paraguay to improve the country's economic and social conditions.
