CoinShares website also reported that the share of bitcoin miners in the Chinese province of Sichuan accounts for 54% of the global hashrate of this cryptocurrency.

Of the remaining 35%, CoinShares estimates that 31%evenly distributed between Washington, New York, British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Siberia, Kazakhstan, Georgia and Iran.

CoinShares also says miners annuallyspend $ 5.4 billion on electricity, while 73% of this energy comes from renewable sources. Such statistics on renewable energy may not appeal to critics of Bitcoin, who constantly claim that it is harmful to the environment.

CoinShares also notes that Bitcoin miners are energy buyers who are “rallying around underutilized renewable infrastructure.”

In 2019, the bitcoin hash was experiencing growth,regularly setting new records. CoinShares suggests that this could be due to more productive BTC mining chips made by companies like Bitmain.
