US EditionCambridge University study says Bitcoin mining sustainable energy use hit 52.4%, exceeding Elon Musk's target to resume Tesla BTC payments
- The Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance published a 2025 report showing Bitcoin mining uses 52.4% sustainable energy, surpassing Elon Musk's 50% target for Tesla payments.
- This increased renewable use results from rising environmental focus in mining amid shrinking block rewards and growing competition reducing miners' profit margins.
- The study surveyed 49 mining firms representing 48% of global hash rate, with the US dominating 75.4% of activity and over 80% of green mining located in North America.
- The report found 42.6% of energy comes from wind and hydro, 9.8% from nuclear, while natural gas rose to 38.2%, overtaking coal which dropped to 8.9%, and mining hardware efficiency improved 24%.
- Despite growing operational challenges and pressure on reward models, greener mining advances may improve Bitcoin’s public perception and corporate adoption prospects.
