BitRiver’s bankruptcy risk and the CEO’s house arrest expose the fragility of mining operations under regulatory and financial pressure, particularly in geopolitically sensitive regions.
Mining is capital-intensive and highly dependent on energy pricing, legal stability, and access to global markets. When one of Russia’s largest miners faces collapse, it sends a warning signal across the sector.
