Payments company Square has launched a Bitcoin Clean Energy Investment Initiative. The company is committing $10 million to support other companies that drive renewables within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
"We believe that cryptocurrency will eventually be powered completely by clean power, eliminating its carbon footprint and driving adoption of renewables globally," said Square co-founder and CEO Jack Dorsey.
Dorsey added that, "Published estimates indicate Bitcoin already consumes a significant amount of clean energy, and we hope that Square's investment initiative will accelerate this conversion to renewable energy."
On the news, Square Crypto jokingly tweeted, "Every Square Crypto employee will convert 200 miles worth of pedaling on an exercise bike into renewable electricity each day."

This announcement coincides with the company's goal—also announced today—to become net zero on carbon for operations by 2030. To this end, Square has partnered with Watershed, a company that powers climate programs in business.
Since Square began purchasing Bitcoin for its Cash App customers, the cryptocurrency has become a significant part of the company's footprint. When discussing the company's $50 million investment in Bitcoin this October, Square's then-chief financial officer said, "For a company that is building products based on a more inclusive future, this investment is a step on that journey."
Payments company Square has invested $50 million into Bitcoin, according to an announcement today. It has bought 4,709 Bitcoin, with one percent of the company's assets. “We believe that Bitcoin has the potential to be a more ubiquitous currency in the future,” said Square’s chief financial officer, Amrita Ahuja. “As it grows in adoption, we intend to learn and participate in a disciplined way. For a company that is building products based on a more inclusive future, this investment is a step o...
Part of that inclusive future is an investment in clean power. The Bitcoin Clean Energy Investment Initiative has been set up to support the development of green energy technology in Bitcoin mining, and any gains made from investment will be placed back into the initiative itself.
As part of the company's wider social efforts, it will publish a full-year 2020 Corporate Social Responsibility Report in early 2021.
Luxury fashion and NFT-linked products company 9dcc will wind down operations at the end of May, citing economic challenges and “softness” in luxury retail sales, and perhaps being too early to a future trend in the making. The brand, which sold shirts, hats, and other apparel items as “networked products,” physically linked its clothing to NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain via sewn-in NFC chips. This allowed owners to prove provenance and even obtain digital signatures that lived on the blockchai...
Thousands of Bitcoin fans descended on Las Vegas this week to soak in BTC Inc.’s annual conference—from newly minted crypto devotees to longtime BTC OGs. Under the roof of The Venetian Convention & Expo Center, however, the distinction appeared to hardly matter. Although Bitcoin’s price set a new all-time high less than a week ago, the prospect of in-person connections appeared to be the biggest draw for a largely digital industry—despite a “who’s who” of speakers, including Silk Road pioneer Ro...
Strive Asset Management, a financial services firm co-founded by billionaire Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, announced Tuesday that it signed a financial arrangement to raise $750 million that will primarily be used to buy Bitcoin. Under the private investment public equity or PIPE financing, Strive and Asset Entities, the publicly traded company with which it will merge, can raise as much as an additional $750 million when warrants are exercised, providing up to $1.5 billion in t...
