China warns its state-owned enterprises from mining cryptocurrency and thinks over the adoption of new punitive measures. One of these is the introduction of higher electricity prices for companies that continue to ignore the Government Bitkoin production ban writes Bloomberg.
The National Development and Reform Commission plans to stop the industrial mining of bitcoins, as well as any participation of state-owned companies in this activity. This year Beijing is rigidly struggling in different ways with miners, accusing them in everything – from energy deficit to deaths in coal mining.
