French political party Rassemblement National, led by Marine Le Pen, is proposing a draft law to mine Bitcoin using surplus nuclear energy in France. This marks a significant shift from the party's previous anti-crypto stance in 2016. The initiative aims to utilize idle nuclear energy for profitable Bitcoin mining and enhance economic sovereignty. While there are internal disagreements within the party regarding Bitcoin's decentralization ethos, Rassemblement National is pushing for embracing cryptocurrency as a pro-business strategy, standing out as an active force in advancing crypto legislation in France. This move contradicts left-leaning parties' focus on the environmental impact of mining but resonates with crypto lobbyists and entrepreneurs.
