Bitcoin mining now consumes 0.16% of the global energy production
2022/10/19 09:44
According to the BMC founder and former MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor:
“Bitcoin uses an inconsequential amount of global energy. The number this quarter is 16 basis points (bps) of the world’s energy or 0.16%.”
Specifically, the total amount of energy utilized worldwide is 165,317 TWh, whereas BTC mining only uses 266 TWh of that energy. In Saylor’s words, one-third of the total global energy use is actually wasted energy, it is not possible to utilize it, with Bitcoin accounting for “just a small fraction” of this.
