The Swiss canton of Bern's parliament has approved a motion to commission a report on Bitcoin mining, despite opposition from the Government Council. The proposal, backed by the Bitcoin Parliamentary Group, passed with an 85 to 46 vote. The report will explore using excess energy for Bitcoin mining, potential collaborations with miners, and its impact on grid stability. Inspired by Texas, the group sees Bitcoin mining as a way to attract jobs and promote renewable energy. While the Government Council opposes the initiative, citing energy export and market trends, the motion reflects a shifting narrative on Bitcoin in Switzerland.
