As of right now, it is still possible to mine and subsequently hold BTC within China, but these mining operations could be significantly reduced over the course of the new few months. Also, should a total ban be put into effect, this could theoretically assist the miners situated within the U.S and help them secure more improved margins that may then be executed via cleaner operation. Through this, the controversial carbon impact can potentially be completely removed from the equation, whereas the hash rate will still be decentralized.

To this end, Michael Saylor, the founder of MicroStrategy and one of the more prominent voices within the cryptocurrency community, stated that the abovementioned crackdown on the miners by Chinese authorities could significantly decrease the carbon footprint being generated. This would, in turn, also increase the profitability of the rest of the BTC miners as well as support the development of the ESG goals and ultimately increase BTC’s value and price.   

Future remains uncertain
