Original Note:
This claim is misleading. The Crypto Climate Accord, a crypto group, agrees it is misleading. Bitcoin mining requires energy. A study of 34 large-scale U.S. Bitcoin mines found that its annual energy needs directly resulted in emitting 10.4 million tons of carbon. https://cryptoclimate.org/accord/ https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/09/business/bitcoin-mining-electricity-pollution.html
