Our Proof-of-Work
We believe that Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining have the potential to positively impact our environment, our grid, our economy, and society as a whole.
We work with lawmakers and regulators as well as the general public to ensure that Bitcoin is adopted so all Americans have the opportunity to benefit from this technology.
We have been passing Bitcoin policy into law...
Our policy has been passed into law in 4 states including: Montana, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.
Our policies protect the 'Right to Mine' and key 'Bitcoin Rights' such as self-custody and peer-to-peer transactions.
...moving whole states towards Bitcoin
Satoshi Action Fund CEO was asked to present on the "Benefits of Bitcoin Mining" to the Governor's Crypto Commission in the state of New Hampshire. In their final report, Dennis Porter and Satoshi Action Fund were noticed as contributors to their findings.
New Hampshire ultimately concluded that Bitcoin mining is helpful for them to achieve their energy goals and the commission directed the state to "conduct a public review of how bitcoin mining operations might be integrated into a statewide energy plan."

...fighting back against bad policy
Satoshi Action co-organized a rally with the Texas Blockchain Council and the Digital Chamber to fight back against SB1751 which was designed to restrict Bitcoin mining in the state of Texas.
...defeating anti-Bitcoin policy
Satoshi Action was deeply involved in the effort to kill the "anti-Bitcoin mining" bill in Texas (SB 1751).
This bill would have significantly limited the ability for miners to participate in balancing the grid and stripped away incentives for miners to create rural jobs.
