According to Bloomberg, British Columbia has proposed legislation to limit AI data center power usage and permanently ban new crypto mining operations in the province, indicating tighter energy allocation for power-intensive computing in Canada (Bloomberg). Bloomberg adds that a permanent ban on new crypto mining sites in B.C. removes the option to add new BTC mining capacity in that province, so traders can monitor Bitcoin hash rate, mining difficulty, and Canadian miner equities for any reaction to this policy development (Bloomberg).
