The Rising Clean Bitcoin Mining Initiative
Ever since the Bitcoin mining, FUD began claiming BTC mining has a negative impact on the environment because of its high carbon footprint, a majority of crypto exchanges have started buying carbon credits in Millions to offset their carbon emission due to Bitcoin holdings. Gemini, FTX, and Skybridge Capital are some of the crypto platforms that have bought carbon credits over the past couple of months.
The Chinese miners migration has also helped in making the Bitcoin network greener since a significant portion of Bitcoin miners used coal-based electricity. Now, these miners are moving to countries where the Bitcoin mining industry is somewhat regulated and offers energy supply from clean energy sources, be it Kazakistan, the US, or North American nations.
The Interest of public companies in clean mining would only help this trend grow further which would eventually eliminate the only major FUD in the Bitcoin market, helping its price surge further.
