EIA Temporarily Suspends Emergency Survey of Bitcoin Mining Industry
The US Department of Energy has temporarily suspended its emergency survey of Bitcoin mining operators' energy usage. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) will halt its mandatory survey for over a month and keep the data that had already been secured from stakeholders in the Bitcoin mining industry earlier this February. Riot Platforms and the Texas Blockchain Council had previously sued the administration of President Joe Biden, planning to boycott the survey citing that it could cause potential harm to businesses by compelling them to release confidential and sensitive information. The plaintiffs requested a permanent injunction from the court which mandates that EIA first complies with the law before going ahead to request the data.
