Green groups drop bitcoin donations as awareness of the leading cryptocurrency’s high energy consumption grows leads to them withdrawing bitcoin donation facilities. This follows recent reports<\/a> that environmental campaign group Greenpeace USA has stopped accepting bitcoin donations over the cryptocurrency’s carbon footprint.<\/p>\n When giving reasons for the decision, Greenpeace said the amount of energy needed to run bitcoin became clearer in recent times, coupled with the fact that supporters had not extensively used the crypto donation facility.<\/p>\n Greenpeace is one of the early adopters of crypto. In 2014, it created a facility to accept bitcoin donations<\/a>. The group also regularly promoted its policy of onboarding the digital community.<\/p>\n Since then, other environmental groups have enabled similar facilities to accept donations with bitcoin. However, Greenpeace is not the only group that has decided to quit BTC donations.<\/p>\n It was also reported that Friends of the Earth would be withdrawing its facility for accepting BTC donations by June, with several other high-profile organizations expected to make similar announcements in the coming weeks.<\/p>\nWhy Green Groups Drop Bitcoin Donations<\/h2>\n
