Shares in Argo Blockchain UK:ARB, a London-listed crypto miner, rose near 13% after the group said it joined the new Bitcoin Mining Council to “promote energy transparency and improve sustainable mining practices.” The crypto space, and bitcoin in particular, has come under fire from high-profile critics including Elon Musk, the chief executive of electric-vehicle company Tesla TSLA, (TSLA) over its environmental impact.
Argo and other miners joined in a discussion with Musk on May 23 over environmental and social issues related to the crypto mining. The practice uses large amounts of energy to power computers that verify transactions on the blockchain—the decentralized ledger technology that underpins bitcoin and other crypto assets.
