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

Bitcoin mining's clean energy usage has surpassed 56%, a trend that has been growing since April 2021. Data from the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance shows that sustainable energy sources such as wind, solar, hydro, and even nuclear power are increasingly being used in Bitcoin mining, thanks to the continued investment in clean energy by mining companies like Riot Platforms and MARA Holdings. Despite the global energy crisis driving up mining costs, most mining companies are still committed to using their remaining capital to buy Bitcoin. This trend has also sparked expectations that Tesla will resume Bitcoin payments, as Elon Musk previously stated that Tesla would accept Bitcoin payments again when its clean energy usage exceeded 50%. As clean energy's share in Bitcoin mining continues to rise, Bitcoin's environmental friendliness will be further improved, opening up more possibilities for its development in the payment sector.
