Crypto miner backs US senator's efforts to incentivize using flared gas

MARA Holdings and the head of digital assets research at VanEck endorsed the FLARE Act proposed by Texas Senator Ted Cruz on April 1.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz proposed a bill aimed at incentivizing crypto miners to use flared gas for energy generation in the state.

In an April 1 notice, Cruz said he had introduced the Facilitate Lower Atmospheric Released Emissions, or FLARE, Act in the US Senate, aiming to make Texas “the number one place for Bitcoin mining.” Bitcoin (BTC) miner MARA Holdings endorsed the proposed legislation on X, claiming it would reduce emissions and “unlock stranded energy.”
