Paraguay Seizes 35 Bitcoin Miners in Two Illegal Farm Raids

These raids show enforcement shifting from abstract policy to physical seizure, with the utility itself acting as investigator and the legislature now demanding a formal accounting of mining load. The fines and machine confiscations target operators who bypass the grid rather than the industry broadly, but the legislative reporting order signals that Paraguay's cheap-hydro advantage for miners is entering a more scrutinized phase. Whether ANDE's report leads to tighter tariffs or licensing rules is the open question.
