No doubt the widespread adoption of #cryptocurrency will have no effect on #globalwarming.
The energy needs of #Bitcoin alone range from \(67\) to \(240\) terawatt-hours annually, which is comparable to the total electricity consumption of countries like Poland or Norway.

Inside the Trump family’s global crypto cash machine
The U.S. president’s family raked in more than $800 million from sales of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone, a Reuters examination found, on top of potentially billions more in unrealized “on paper” gains. Much of that cash came from foreign sources as Donald Trump's sons touted their business on an international investor roadshow.
