The United States is committed to ensuring that no asset, no matter how complex, becomes a mechanism for the Putin regime to offset the impact of sanctions.
Virtual currency mining company Bitriver was founded in Russia in 2017 and currently operates out of three offices across Russia. In 2021, Bitriver shifted legal ownership of its assets to a Switzerland-based holding company. OFAC designated this holding company, Bitriver AG, pursuant to E.O. 14024 for operating or having operated in the technology sector of the Russian Federation economy

In addition, any entities that are owned, directly or indirectly, 50 percent or more by one or more blocked persons are also blocked. All transactions by U.S. persons or within (or transiting) the United States that involve any property or interests in property of designated or otherwise blocked persons are prohibited unless authorized by a general or specific license issued by OFAC, or exempt. These prohibitions include the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any blocked person and the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person.
Takze zakaznici z USA (firmy a jednotlivci) okamzite musi prestat vyuzivat sluzeb firmy Bitriver.
Rusko ma nadbytek elektricke energie. Drahe ASIC minery ted budou na velke sleve, protoze plati zakladni pravidla poptavky a nabidky. Nabidka ASICU vlastnenych americany je ted v BitRiver obrovska.
Kdo zna silu americkeho imperia vi, ze je ceho se bat. Takze i to co by jednoduse slo jeste vcera udelat (treba prevest minery na nejakou jinou osobu a firmu, ktera je mimo USA), je ted pod obrovskou skrutinou a nikdo se nechce niceho dotknout ani desetimetrovym klackem. A BitRiver muze a nemusi spolupracovat (zatim ani neodpovida na emaily). Jsou v perfektni pozici jak z toho vytezit.
Ukazuje to presne kdo trpi temito sankcemi. Je to naivita si myslet, ze sankce resi problemy. Staci se podivat na Iran, Severni Koreu nebo Venezuelu. Ted se jen dela dalsi krok, ktery vice poskodi lidi na zapade nez ty ktere chteji trestat.
