I work on Bitcoin mining policy in D.C.
I talk to miners, regulators, and energy folks every day.
If you want to know what’s actually happening in U.S. Bitcoin mining, follow along.
Back in Oxford.
Full circle moment returning to my alma mater to guest lecture at Ole Miss Law.
Grateful. Honored. And very excited for the conversation ahead.
@Chip2022 Totally get where you’re coming from. NY’s current approach has created barriers that don’t exist in other states. We’re actively working with legislators to ensure that future policy recognizes the energy-grid benefits and economic opportunities of Bitcoin mining.
Honored to be recognized on the floor of the New York State Assembly for our work on digital asset and energy policy.
Thoughtful engagement matters. Showing up matters.
Joined @DailyStackHQ to break down the latest in Bitcoin mining policy:
New York’s proposed data center moratorium, the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, and why flexible digital load matters for U.S. energy security.
Our Line Up for Today | Feb 11th, 2026 starting at 12:30 PM EST
🎙 12:30 PM: Kyle Knight ( @buckethatbtc ) founder of @btcculturehub
🎙 12:30 PM: Halston ( @halstonvalencia )
🎙 01:30 PM: Hailey Miller ( @HaileyMillerDC )
@HaileyMillerDC is at the center of the D.C. circuit, bridging the gap between Bitcoin miners, regulators, and energy markets. If you want the ground truth on U.S. mining policy and the "Clarity Act" push, don’t miss this.
Make sure to set your alerts!
Remarkable. Today, @DigitalPowerUS was recognized and given a standing ovation on the floor of the NYS Assembly for advancing responible #bitcoin mining policy.
@HaileyMillerDC and @Sonya02murphy are the leading voices for bitcoin advocacy and I couldn't be prouder!
@HaileyMillerDC, who leads the TDC affiliate @DigitalPowerUS, writes about how BTC mining is a unique consumer of electricity, & has the potential to drive a greener and more resilient grid.

2/ Not all load is equal.
Some compute is always-on, inflexible, and interruption-intolerant.
Some compute is flexible, curtailable, responsive, and often paired with generation.
Policy has to recognize that difference, or it will backfire.
5/ I’m increasingly worried about one-size-fits-all rules for large loads.
If we regulate flexible, grid-supportive compute like inflexible baseload demand, we’ll:
-Raise system costs
-Hurt reliability
-Slow clean energy
-Lock in more fossil generation
That’s not fairness. That’s misclassification.
I just published an op-ed on a mistake I’m seeing more and more in grid policy debates:
Treating all large electricity load as the same.
It’s wrong. And it will lead to higher costs, worse reliability, and slower decarbonization. 👇
6/ @DigitalPowerUS just released a full policy response breaking down this contradiction, and why it matters for affordability, reliability, and long-term grid stability.
This isn’t rhetoric. It’s structural.
5/ If the goal is affordability, reliability, and clean energy, then flexible compute needs to be treated like what it is:
A grid asset. Not a scapegoat.
New York: “The grid must become more flexible.”
Also New York: “Let’s punish the most flexible resources on the grid.”
That’s not policy. That’s a paradox.
