#Over half of Bitcoin mining now uses clean energy.#

The use of clean energy in Bitcoin mining is rapidly increasing, now exceeding 56%. This growth is driven by investments in clean energy by Bitcoin mining companies, such as Riot Platforms and MARA Holdings. Data from the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance shows that the share of sustainable energy sources, including wind, solar, hydro, and even nuclear power, in Bitcoin mining is steadily rising. Despite the global energy crisis driving up mining costs, most mining companies remain committed to using their remaining capital to purchase Bitcoin. Elon Musk previously stated that Tesla would resume accepting Bitcoin payments when the clean energy usage rate in Bitcoin mining exceeded 50%, a goal that has now been achieved. This trend indicates that Bitcoin mining is moving towards a more sustainable path and is poised to gain further mainstream acceptance in the future.
