BTC Energy Consumption Rises by 41% In a Year

BTC energy consumption rises by 41% in a year, increasing regulatory risks. The study revealed that bitcoin mining uses 0.16% of worldwide power generation. The information is from the third quarter report of the Cryptocurrency Mining Council (BMC).  There have lately been advancements in energy efficiency and the use of a diverse and sustainable energy mix.

The network’s hash rate has risen by 8.34% in the third quarter of 2022 and by 73% year over year, which caused the increase. Given the 41% increase in energy demand for bitcoin, officials and environmentalists are concerned about cracking down on mining.
