According to FinanceFeeds, as the Bitcoin network develops, the debate over cryptocurrency energy consumption is intensifying. Data shows that by 2025, Bitcoin's annual energy consumption will reach 173 TWh, comparable to countries like Poland; however, its renewable energy usage rate has increased from 37.6% in 2022 to 54% in 2025. Additionally, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has proposed imposing a carbon tax on crypto miners, which is expected to generate $5 billion in annual revenue. Furthermore, if the crypto industry fails to make substantial progress in energy sustainability, it may lose institutional funding support that focuses on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards.
