Tax on Bitcoin mining could generate $5.2 billion in revenue annually , report says.

Bitcoin miners use more electricity annually than a majority of the world’s countries do individually.

The idea is that a climate tax could reduce emissions by incentivizing mining firms to clean up operations.

It could provide funding to help less affluent nations transition to renewable energy.
