Kevin Warsh, the nominee for the new Federal Reserve Chair, believes that upcoming productivity growth could provide the Fed with room to lower interest rates, provided that higher productivity leads to economic growth with low inflation. According to Jin10, economist Ed Yardeni also anticipates that the economy will benefit from technological advancements this decade. However, he disagrees that such outcomes would justify rate cuts. Yardeni stated, "While we share Warsh's optimism about productivity, we fundamentally differ on what this means for monetary policy." Yardeni argues that faster growth will raise the natural rate of interest, or R*, which neither stimulates nor restrains the economy. He wrote, "If the Fed lowers the federal funds rate below R*, the risk is that it could fuel financial speculation and instability."

On April 20, Reabold Resources, a UK oil and gas company, issued a statement addressing recent media reports suggesting its priority is Bitcoin mining over enhancing UK energy supply. According to BlockBeats, the company clarified that its West Newton gas field in Yorkshire will primarily focus on supporting UK energy security. Reabold Resources is exploring the deployment of small-scale power generation facilities to utilize initial gas output for Bitcoin mining. This initiative aims to demonstrate the feasibility of using on-site gas to power data centers, paving the way for larger-scale data center projects in the future. The company emphasized that this approach does not exclude the possibility of integrating the gas into the national grid or supplying industrial users in the future. While previous reports indicated the gas field could theoretically mine 50,000 Bitcoins, Reabold Resources has not confirmed any timeline or equipment plans for this endeavor.
