美国参议员泰德·克鲁兹（Ted Cruz）提出了一项新法案，该法案为加密货币矿工提供了税收优惠，使用喇叭形天然气为采矿行动提供动力。

在4月1日的公告中，克鲁兹公布了促进的下部大气发布的排放法案，他认为这将使德克萨斯州成为“比特币采矿的第一名”。

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

美国参议员泰德·克鲁兹（Ted Cruz）提出了立法，该立法将为加密货币矿工提供税收优惠，使用喇叭形天然气为采矿行动提供动力。

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.

克鲁兹于4月1日提出的促进大气释放的排放法案也将阻止外国关注的实体，例如与中国，俄罗斯，伊朗或朝鲜有联系的实体，从该法案的规定中受益。

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.

该法案提议修改美国税法，以允许公司永久扣除旨在捕获和重新利用天然气的系统的全部成本，否则将会发泄或发泄。

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.

这些系统被指定为燃烧和通风缓解系统，有资格从2026年开始获得100％支出。要获得资格，设备必须采用天然气并将其转换为可用的东西，例如电力，液体燃料或计算能力，用于数字资产挖掘。

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.

该法案指定了几种合格用途，包括压缩或液化的气体进行运输，生产石化或肥料，以及为油田设备或电网提供动力。

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

几位行业参与者表示对该法案的支持，他们认为这是能源和创新的双赢。

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.

比特币矿业公司Mara（NYSE：MARA）控股在X帖子中向立法提供了支持，强调它可以帮助减少德克萨斯州及其他地区的“滞留能量”。

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.

参议员@tedcruz的《耀斑法》允许对基础设施的全额支出，这些基础设施将燃烧汽油捕获和重新利用为增值用途，例如比特币矿业。Mara支持这项立法。它认识到比特币矿业在减少排放和解锁滞留能量中的作用。

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与Ngon合作，在德克萨斯州和北达科他州的Wellheads上推出了25兆瓦的微数据中心运营。数据中心将使用过量的天然气为数据中心发电，从而为能源生产商提供了缓解甲烷的高效解决方案。

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.

作为合作伙伴关系的一部分，Mara正在部署八个单位的IBTC-M1移动数据中心，以处理德克萨斯州多个井口的气体。数据中心可以迅速部署到过量气体的区域，提供灵活而有效的解决方案。

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.

每个IBTC-M1单元均由八个高级比特币（BTC）Avalon 1246 ASIC矿工提供动力，以其高能效率和在各种环境条件下运行的能力。数据中心还配备了最先进的冷却系统，以确保在不同温度下的最佳性能。

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大数据中心的两个单位，每个单位的容量为12兆瓦。这些单元设计用于需要额外的计算能力的高峰需求或极端天气。

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.

根据立法，这样的基础设施将有资格成为一种爆炸和发泄的缓解系统，使其有资格获得永久性全额支出。这意味着Mara和类似运营商可以从2026年开始从应税收入中扣除安装此类系统的全部成本。

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.

该法案旨在激励美国公司投资可以减少排放并提高能源效率的技术。它还试图防止外国人从税收减免中受益。

“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.

美国参议院财政委员会成员参议员克鲁兹说：“该法案利用了德克萨斯州的巨大能源潜力，加强了我们作为比特币行业的地位，对环境有益。我呼吁同事迅速采取并推进这项立法。”

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，克鲁兹在2021年德克萨斯州区块链峰会上谈到了这个想法，这表明比特币采矿可以将多余的能源从石油和天然气运营转化为有用的东西，而不是简单地燃烧。

“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.

他当时指出：“利用这种力量来开采比特币。这是您这样做的一部分，这是您的瞬间，因为您可以极大地帮助环境，因为而不是将其放置在富有生产力的天然气中。”
