According to Hive’s site, the firm is specially concentrated on green energy – a problem that’s becoming more and more important to critics of the cryptocurrency’s significant energy intake. This month, Bitcoin accumulator Michael Saylor revealed details of the upcoming Bitcoin Mining Council, which, in addition to different mandates, will help shed light on the ecological effect of cryptocurrency mining.

“HIVE has state-of-the-art data centers for green energy in Canada, Sweden and Iceland that continuously produce newly minted digital currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum in the cloud,” declared Hive. “Since early 2021, HIVE has accumulated the majority of its ETH and BTC coin production, which we keep safe.”

Historically, bitcoin miners have outperformed the underlying asset, often by making substantial gains. Last month’s analysis revealed that Bitcoin was up 900% year over year, however, four of the biggest mining stocks were up 5,000%.

Along with the price recovery, many miners have become ever stronger voices in politics. This month, the CEO of Nasdaq-recorded Canaan Inc. called on China to relax its Bitcoin mining ban.
