United States Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) is set to take center stage in Washington D.C. alongside Marathon Digital Holdings CEO Fred Thiel to discuss the importance of maintaining the competitiveness of bitcoin mining in the United States. This news comes after Senator Lummis’s vocal support for bitcoin mining earlier this year, emphasizing its benefits for America’s energy grids and the development of new energy resources.
Senator Lummis, known for her unwavering support of the Bitcoin industry and sound monetary policy, will be participating in The Bitcoin Policy Summit organized by The Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI). The summit, scheduled for April 9th, 2024 at the National Press Club, aims to address the current partisan tensions surrounding Bitcoin and bitcoin mining.
David Zell, co-founder of BPI, praised Senator Lummis for her foresight as a Bitcoin advocate, highlighting her understanding of the importance of getting public policy for digital assets right. The summit will feature presentations from global human rights activists, academics, and technology leaders, shedding light on Bitcoin in the context of federal and local policymaking.
The Biden administration’s recent proposal for an “emergency” survey of bitcoin miners and their energy use has sparked controversy within the industry, with industry representatives like Riot Platforms and the Texas Blockchain Council pushing back against the survey. The Bitcoin Policy Summit aims to provide a platform for constructive dialogue on Bitcoin and its regulation.
