Green your Bitcoin

Calculator

Bitcoin mining is incentivised by Bitcoin having value. Holding and not selling Bitcoin creates that value. If you hold X% of available Bitcoin you are incentivising X% of total mining.

Below is a simple calculator that takes your Bitcoin holdings and works out the % of Bitcoin mining you incentivise. If you subsidise that amount of green mining, your Bitcoin will be carbon neutral.

BTC 100

BTC 100 incentivises

4,848.905TH/s of mining

Or 44.08 Antminer s19 Pros at 110 TH/s

How is this calculated?

Given a total BTC supply of BTC 19,799,631.25
and if we assume BTC 3,000,000 to be lost.
This leaves an effective total supply of

BTC 16,799,631.25

of which you hold:

0.0005952511606467553%

Applying this percentage to the average global hashrate of:

814,598,201.261 TH/s

gives us the hashrate that your holdings incentivise:

4,848.905 TH/s

Or 44.08 Antminer s19 Pros at 110 TH/s

To ensure your BTC holdings are carbon neutral you can mine this amount or more with renewable energy, or purchase an equivalent Green Co-investment (GCI) instrument.
