PANews February 25 News: According to The Block, on February 25, 2026, the Gyeonggi Northern Police Department in South Korea arrested two suspects for allegedly stealing 22 Bitcoins from the evidence vault of the Gangnam Police Station. These Bitcoins were initially seized in November 2021 during the investigation of the “A Coin Foundation” hacking case. The investigation revealed that the police did not store the assets in an officially regulated hardware wallet at the time but used a cold wallet provided by the foundation, allowing the suspects to illegally transfer the assets via mnemonic phrases over the communication network. Currently, the approximately $1.5 million worth of Bitcoin has not been recovered. Additionally, the former officer in charge of the case was sentenced to 18 months in prison in August 2024 for accepting bribes from the foundation.

Gate News 消息，3 月 14 日，南非电力公司 Eskom 正在探索将白天多余的电力折扣出售给比特币挖矿公司。这一计划源于屋顶太阳能装置的快速普及，导致白天电网需求显著下降。目前，南非许多家庭和企业在白天通过自有太阳能电池板自行发电，使得 Eskom 在日间出现大量闲置电力容量。通过向比特币挖矿企业出售这些过剩电力，Eskom 希望提高电力资源利用率。
