Bitcoin Mining Achieves 52% Renewables Milestone as Tokenization Democratizes Access

An open-source AI platform, Bitcoin Evidence Base, reveals 52% of Bitcoin mining now uses renewables—surpassing banking—based on 22 peer-reviewed studies, amid tokenization enabling tradable output shares for small investors. The saga started with claims AI 'killed' Bitcoin by outbidding power ($200–$500/MW vs. mining's $57–$129/MW), Cango's $452.8M 2025 loss and $305M BTC sale to pivot to AI, and Reuters' ~20% capacity shift projection by 2027. CleanSpark mined 1,799 BTC in Q1 2026, holding 13,561 BTC while expanding to 1.8 GW (808 MW mining), highlighting industrialized efficiency and diversification.
