Suarez has served as Mayor of Miami since 2017. In March 2021, he spoke about his desire to make the city a center for bitcoin mining.
Miami BTC plans also include the ability to pay city employees’ wages in Bitcoin.
Miami has introduced its own cryptocurrency Miami Coin (MIA) on August 3, which officials say will help the city generate revenue and expand its economy.
