美國參議員泰德·克魯茲（Ted Cruz）提出了一項新法案，該法案為加密貨幣礦工提供了稅收優惠，使用喇叭形天然氣為採礦行動提供動力。

在4月1日的公告中，克魯茲公佈了促進的下部大氣發布的排放法案，他認為這將使德克薩斯州成為“比特幣採礦的第一名”。

United States Senator Ted Cruz has introduced legislation that would offer tax incentives for cryptocurrency miners using flared natural gas to power mining operations.

美國參議員泰德·克魯茲（Ted Cruz）提出了立法，該立法將為加密貨幣礦工提供稅收優惠，使用喇叭形天然氣為採礦行動提供動力。

The Facilitating Lower Atmospheric Released Emissions Act, introduced by Cruz on April 1, would also block foreign entities of concern, such as those with ties to China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea, from benefiting from the bill’s provisions.

克魯茲於4月1日提出的促進大氣釋放的排放法案也將阻止外國關注的實體，例如與中國，俄羅斯，伊朗或朝鮮有聯繫的實體，從該法案的規定中受益。

The bill proposes modifying the U.S. tax code to allow companies to permanently deduct the full cost of systems designed to capture and repurpose natural gas that would otherwise be flared or vented.

該法案提議修改美國稅法，以允許公司永久扣除旨在捕獲和重新利用天然氣的系統的全部成本，否則將會發洩或發洩。

These systems, designated as flaring and venting mitigation systems, would qualify for 100% expensing beginning in 2026. To qualify, the equipment must take in natural gas and convert it into something usable, such as electricity, liquid fuels, or computational power for digital asset mining.

這些系統被指定為燃燒和通風緩解系統，有資格從2026年開始獲得100％支出。要獲得資格，設備必須採用天然氣並將其轉換為可用的東西，例如電力，液體燃料或計算能力，用於數字資產挖掘。

The bill specifies several eligible uses, including compressing or liquefying gas for transportation, producing petrochemicals or fertilizer, and powering oilfield equipment or the electrical grid.

該法案指定了幾種合格用途，包括壓縮或液化的氣體進行運輸，生產石化或肥料，以及為油田設備或電網提供動力。

Several industry players have expressed support for the bill, which they view as a win-win for both energy and innovation.

幾位行業參與者表示對該法案的支持，他們認為這是能源和創新的雙贏。

Bitcoin mining firm MARA (NYSE:MARA) Holdings threw its support behind the legislation in an X post, highlighting that it could aid in reducing emissions and “unlock stranded energy” across Texas and beyond.

比特幣礦業公司Mara（NYSE：MARA）控股在X帖子中向立法提供了支持，強調它可以幫助減少德克薩斯州及其他地區的“滯留能量”。

The FLARE Act from Sen. @tedcruz allows full expensing for infrastructure that captures and repurposes flared gas into value-added uses—like Bitcoin mining.MARA supports this legislation. It recognizes Bitcoin mining’s role in reducing emissions and unlocking stranded energy.

參議員@tedcruz的《耀斑法》允許對基礎設施的全額支出，這些基礎設施將燃燒汽油捕獲和重新利用為增值用途，例如比特幣礦業。 Mara支持這項立法。它認識到比特幣礦業在減少排放和解鎖滯留能量中的作用。

Last year, MARA partnered with NGON to launch a 25-megawatt micro data center operation across wellheads in Texas and North Dakota. The data center will use excess natural gas to generate electricity for data centers, offering energy producers a high-efficiency solution for methane mitigation.

去年，Mara與Ngon合作，在德克薩斯州和北達科他州的Wellheads上推出了25兆瓦的微數據中心運營。數據中心將使用過量的天然氣為數據中心發電，從而為能源生產商提供了緩解甲烷的高效解決方案。

As part of the partnership, MARA is deploying eight units of the iBTC-M1 mobile data center to process gas at multiple wellheads in Texas. The data centers can be rapidly deployed to areas with excess gas, offering a flexible and efficient solution.

作為合作夥伴關係的一部分，Mara正在部署八個單位的IBTC-M1移動數據中心，以處理德克薩斯州多個井口的氣體。數據中心可以迅速部署到過量氣體的區域，提供靈活而有效的解決方案。

Each iBTC-M1 unit is powered by eight advanced Bitcoins (BTC) Avalon 1246 ASIC miners, selected for their high energy efficiency and ability to operate in diverse environmental conditions. The data centers are also equipped with state-of-the-art cooling systems to ensure optimal performance in varying temperatures.

每個IBTC-M1單元均由八個高級比特幣（BTC）Avalon 1246 ASIC礦工提供動力，以其高能效率和在各種環境條件下運行的能力。數據中心還配備了最先進的冷卻系統，以確保在不同溫度下的最佳性能。

Moreover, MARA is deploying two units of the iBTC-L large data center, each with a capacity of 12 megawatts. These units are designed for periods of peak demand or extreme weather, where additional computational power is needed.

此外，Mara正在部署IBTC-L大數據中心的兩個單位，每個單位的容量為12兆瓦。這些單元設計用於需要額外的計算能力的高峰需求或極端天氣。

Under the legislation, infrastructure like this would qualify as a flaring and venting mitigation systems, making it eligible for permanent full expensing. That means MARA and similar operators could deduct the entire cost of installing such systems from their taxable income, starting in 2026.

根據立法，這樣的基礎設施將有資格成為一種爆炸和發洩的緩解系統，使其有資格獲得永久性全額支出。這意味著Mara和類似運營商可以從2026年開始從應稅收入中扣除安裝此類系統的全部成本。

The bill aims to incentivize U.S. companies to invest in technologies that can reduce emissions and increase energy efficiency. It also seeks to prevent foreign entities of concern from benefiting from the tax breaks.

該法案旨在激勵美國公司投資可以減少排放並提高能源效率的技術。它還試圖防止外國人從稅收減免中受益。

“This bill takes advantage of Texas’s vast energy potential, reinforces our position as the home of the Bitcoin industry, and is good for the environment. I call upon my colleagues to expeditiously take up and advance this legislation,” said Sen. Cruz, a member of the U.S. Senate Finance Committee.

美國參議院財政委員會成員參議員克魯茲說：“該法案利用了德克薩斯州的巨大能源潛力，加強了我們作為比特幣行業的地位，對環境有益。我呼籲同事迅速採取並推進這項立法。”

Long before introducing the FLARE Act, Cruz touched upon the idea at the 2021 Texas Blockchain Summit, suggesting that Bitcoin mining could transform excess energy from oil and gas operations into something useful instead of simply burning it off.

在引入《耀斑法》之前，克魯茲在2021年德克薩斯州區塊鏈峰會上談到了這個想法，這表明比特幣採礦可以將多餘的能源從石油和天然氣運營轉化為有用的東西，而不是簡單地燃燒。

“Use that power to mine Bitcoin. Part of the beauty of that is the instant you’re doing it you’re helping the environment enormously because rather than flaring the natural gas you’re putting it to productive use,” he noted at the time.

他當時指出：“利用這種力量來開採比特幣。這是您這樣做的一部分，這是您的瞬間，因為您可以極大地幫助環境，因為而不是將其放置在富有生產力的天然氣中。”
