Warren Davidson toldin a written statement. “We’ve spoken out to oppose this tax and I see this as a significant victory.”
Riot Platforms led gainers among the major mining stocks, rising 10%. Iris Energy, Hive Blockchain, Cleanspark, Hut 8 MIning and Marathon Digital Holdings were up 5.5% or more. Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy reached a tentative deal to suspend the U.S. debt ceiling over the weekend, and Davidson confirmed that the agreement excludes administration’s plans to levy the tax.

The tax was estimated to raise $3.5 billion in revenue over 10 years. Even though the tax appears stalled for now, it doesn’t mean it couldn’t be floated again at some later date.
