Bitcoin mining in Norway gets the green light as the proposed ban rejected
The proposal to ban Bitcoin mining in Norway was rejected in a vote by the Norwegian Parliament on Tuesday. Contrary to the political parties’ efforts, Bitcoin mining companies in Norway have thrived in recent years.
Norway now contributes as much as 1% to the global Bitcoin hash rate. According to a recent survey from Arcane Research, the number of Norwegian women that own cryptocurrency has doubled from 3% to 6% in just one year. Over the same period, male ownership increased from 6% in 2019 to 14% in 2022.
