Fort Worth is positioning itself to be the capital of crypto mining. Bitcoin mining machines donated by the Texas Blockchain Council began running 24/7 today, following a city council vote that authorized the six-month pilot program.
Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker plugged in the machines herself live on Twitter this afternoon at 2:35 p.m. “These small but powerful machines mark Fort Worth’s larger commitment to becoming a leading hub for technology and innovation," she said.
Applied Blockchain, an owner and operator of data center facilities used for mining crypto assets, filed plans with the SEC to uplist from the OTC Pink market to the Nasdaq Global Select Market in a move that could raise up to around $63 million.
With $50 million in total funding since launching just last year, Blockmetrix plans to purchase more than 5,000 bitcoin mining rigs, adding to more than 1,000 it currently operates—mostly in Oklahoma.
But the startup aims to go beyond mining bitcoin to research and develop crypto revenue sources, loan bitcoin, set up a cryptocurrency exchange, and more.
