By labeling digital asset mining a value-added activity, the legislation could shift federal treatment of mining infrastructure to support broader energy and environmental objectives.
According to the text of the bill, the FLARE Act proposed amending the US Internal Revenue Code to incentivize market participants — including digital asset miners — to “capture gas that would otherwise be flared or vented and to use such gas in value-added products.” If signed into law, the legislation would take effect on properties put into service starting in 2026.
