Bitcoin (BTC) mining sites have become some of the scarcest permitted power capacity in the United States. With 151 data center restrictions still active, AI developers face years of waiting to plug in anywhere new.

CoinMarketCap Research’s Alice Liu says a failed CLARITY Act vote, not today’s Fed decision, is driving Bitcoin’s price – and the usual macro playbook no longer applies.

Bitcoin miners have signed more than $100 billion in AI contracts while generating barely $1.1 billion in annualized revenue.

Veteran economist and longtime Bitcoin skeptic Peter Schiff has used the collapse of theCLARITY Act to renew his attack on the cryptocurrency, arguing that Bitcoin’s problem was never regulatory ambiguity but the asset itself.

On Tuesday, the 15th of September, the Senate voted to block the CLARITY Act from passing, pushing regulatory clarity back to 2027. Bitcoin [$BTC] reacted bearishly to this news, as it adds uncertainty to the crypto markets.

Bitcoin price traded near $76,200 after a volatile week as the failed CLARITY Act vote and the Federal Reserve’s rate increase kept pressure on the market. Technical indicators now point to resistance near $78,600, while liquidation data places the main downside liquidity cluster around $74,600.
