Big Tech vs. Bitcoin: Who Harms the Environment More? 🌍 Data shows that since 2019, the largest US technology companies have emitted more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than all of the world's Bitcoin mining operations in the entire history of the cryptocurrency.

- Amazon self-reported 71.54 million metric tons of CO2 emissions in 2021, which exceeds Bitcoin's estimated emissions of 65.4 million metric tons.

- Google and Microsoft together will emit about 30 million tons of CO2 in 2023.

Despite criticism of Bitcoin for its climate impact, data indicates that Big Tech's carbon footprint is significantly larger than Bitcoin's.
