US Senator against Bitcoin Mining Tax
- On July 23, Senator Cynthia Lummis released a report opposing a 30% energy tax for Bitcoin miners.
- Lummis claims that Bitcoin mining is cleaner than commonly thought: up to 52.6% of mining can be emission-free.
- Mining helps stabilize energy grids, as is happening in Texas.
- The tax could discourage miners from using sustainable energy sources.
- Raising taxes will lead to an outflow of miners from the United States, as was the case in China.
