Blockstream And Square Team Up For Solar-Powered Bitcoin Mining | CryptoGazette

Bitcoin-mining energy has been a subject that has been making headlines for a while now. As you probably know by now, Elon Musk’s tweet about the issue was one of the triggers that had BTC’s price crashing not too long ago.

Now, another issue pops up and this time it’s bullish news.

Blockstream and Square partnership

It’s been just revealed that Blockstream and Square teamed up for solar-powered BTC mining.

“We’re proud to announce our collaborative effort with Square, Inc. to build an open-source, solar-powered Bitcoin mining facility at one of our Blockstream Mining sites in the United States. Together, we plan to provide public transparency by sharing the project economics and knowledge we’ve gained from building a Bitcoin mine powered by renewable energy. Ultimately, we hope to demonstrate how bitcoin mining in conjunction with renewable energy can help drive the clean energy transition,” the official blog post reveals.

The notes also say that “Square intends to invest $5M in the facility, with Blockstream providing infrastructure and expertise to build and manage the project.”
