Money Matters - Study: BTC Mining States Face 9x More Blackouts

 CryptoNinjas, in collaboration with Storible, just released a comprehensive study on the hidden costs of Bitcoin mining—and the numbers are eye-opening.

Key findings:

  • The global annual electricity cost of mining Bitcoin is $24.7 billion.
  • The U.S. tops global Bitcoin mining electricity costs at $10.5 billion yearly.
  • BTC-mining states experience 9x more blackouts and 5x higher costs from electricity interruptions.
  • States with mining emit 71% more CO₂ than non-mining states.
  • Countries mining BTC emit 167% more greenhouse gases.

This study reveals the environmental, economic, and grid-level impacts of mining—and why they can no longer be ignored.
