Crypto Mining Protections

Montana wants to protect Crypto Miners. A county in Montana was the first in the nation to create zoning laws to protect residents from crypto mining. SB 178 (2023 | MT) would up end Missoula’s zoning protections by ” protecting at-home mining, prevents discriminatory utility rates for miners and stipulates that crypto used as payment will not be subject to additional taxes.” It also prohibit local governments from using zoning to shut down crypto mining.
