I had a hard time believing Bitcoin was eating a half percent of global energy but the original paper is here: https://www.cell.com/joule/fulltext/S2542-4351(18)30177-6 …https://twitter.com/EricHolthaus/status/997108205858840576 …
Still not 0.5% The paper says consumption ≧2.55GW, if run around the clock, that is 22TWh or 0.09% of global consumption (IEA 2016: 24,770TWh) It speculates that by end-2018 annual consumption is 7.67GW, or 67TWh or 0.27%

And remember, this is just for electricity, certainly not energy, which would be 1/3 as large a percentage (since electricity is just one-third of global energy consumption)
