Experts from the Perryman Group published a study in which they wrote that Bitcoin mining has created 31 new jobs in the American economy.
According to experts, the main activity of mining companies is concentrated in twelve US states, with Texas becoming the absolute leader, having created more than 12 jobs both directly in the mining sphere and in related industries. Mining companies not only provide employment for the population, but also make a significant contribution to local budgets through tax deductions, analysts noted.
They said the impetus for the development of the mining industry was given by statements by US President Donald Trump about the need to ensure the country's dominance in the mining industry.
Trump has repeatedly emphasized the importance of making the United States the “cryptocurrency capital of the planet” and achieving leadership in the artificial intelligence sector for national security.
Experts said the significant energy needs have prompted technology and mining companies to look for alternative energy sources, such as the use of small nuclear reactors, which has allowed mining companies to expand their presence in the US market.
