Bitcoin climbed above the $93,000 mark on Monday, according to published data, marking a 3.35% increase from $89,990. At the same time, U.S. President Donald Trump made several statements about potential military actions in the region, heightening geopolitical uncertainty.
Bitcoin Hits $93,000 Amid Geopolitical Tensions
According to CoinGecko, Bitcoin’s price rose from $89,990 to $93,000, a 3.35% increase following the operation in Venezuela. This rise coincided with market news about the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and escalating rhetoric from top regional politicians.
Trump’s Threats Toward Colombia and Mexico
President Trump hinted that Colombia and Mexico could be the next targets for possible U.S. intervention, expressing concern over cocaine flows and sharply criticizing Colombia’s leadership. Trump directly called Colombia "very sick" and referred to its president as a "sick man," responding to a question about military action with: "Sounds good to me."
The relationship with Mexico appeared different: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum refused to assist in cartel crackdowns, after which Trump noted that "something will have to be done in Mexico." These statements increased political uncertainty in the region.
Maduro’s Arrest and Cryptocurrency Market Reaction
Nicolas Maduro was detained on Saturday, coinciding with Bitcoin’s 3.35% price jump according to CoinGecko. Analysts noted that Maduro’s capture occurred before uncertainty could widely spread across markets, which limited sharper fluctuations.

Greenland in Trump’s Plans
Beyond regional issues, Trump stated he remains focused on Greenland, calling it important for U.S. national security and defense. In response, the ministries of Denmark and Norway repeatedly emphasized that Greenland is not for sale and urged an end to the threats.
Why This Matters
For miners in Russia operating 1–1000 devices, such news primarily signals short-term volatility: sharp political statements and events can accelerate liquidity inflows or outflows, affecting price and spreads. However, the rise to $93,000 and direct threats do not change the technical mining parameters or operating costs themselves.
If your profitability calculations are tied to the current price, keep in mind that such movements can be rapid and reversible; however, the leader’s capture and politicians’ reactions in this case did not trigger prolonged panic since Maduro’s arrest happened before the market’s broad reaction.
What to Do?
Recommended practical steps for miners in Russia are straightforward and applicable regardless of farm size. They help reduce volatility risks and maintain control over costs and capacity availability.
- Check power supply and cooling reserves: ensure equipment can handle short-term load and temperature spikes.
- Set a selling/conversion strategy: decide in advance at what prices you will sell part of mined BTC or convert it to rubles.
- Monitor exchange liquidity and spreads: during volatility, markets may become less liquid and fees may rise.
- Update backup financing plans: have a cushion in case of temporary income drops or cost increases.
- Maintain communication with suppliers and services: market changes can disrupt supply chains and service availability.
