SEC Does Not Classify BTC Miners as Securities
We’re addressing a recent fake news story circulating on social media and traditional media claiming that the SEC has classified Bitcoin miners as securities. This misinformation stems from a misinterpretation of documents related to the SEC’s lawsuit against the Green United scam.
Green United was selling investors "green boxes" that supposedly allowed access to mining GREEN tokens. The project turned out to be a scam, and the founder misused investors' funds for private investments.
The confusion about miners being classified as securities came from an X (formerly Twitter) account called WatcherGuru. However, the lawsuit documents contain no such statement, making this claim entirely false.
