Dakota"},"content":{"rendered":"

Who\u2019s putting his money where his mouth is? Mr. Wonderful AKA Kevin O\u2019Leary is. As one of the main proponents of the industry\u2019s need for green bitcoin mining, Mr. Wonderful invested in Bitzero. And now they\u2019re announcing that the company will build its North American headquarters in North Dakota. Why is this news? Because of the things they\u2019ll do with the heat that the data center will produce.<\/span><\/p>\n

Heat is an unintended byproduct of bitcoin mining, and Bitzero Blockchain Inc. plans to use it to fuel the region\u2019s food production throughout the year. The company will partner with MHA Nation\u2019s greenhouse project to accomplish it. And they\u2019ll use North Dakota\u2019s abundant green energy resources to mine the bitcoin without even touching carbon. Mr. Wonderful is presenting us with a win-win situation right here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a <\/span>governmental press release<\/span><\/a>, Hidatsa and Arikara (MHA) Nation Chairman Mark Fox said, \u201cBitzero is working with us to use our Western Area Power Administration hydroelectric power to reflect the company\u2019s zero carbon mandate. The additional heat produced from the data center facility will be used for our MHA Nation\u2019s Greenhouse Project currently under construction.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Excited to announce that North Dakota emerged as the logical choice for @bitzerodotcom<\/a>'s headquarters due to alignment on the state\u2019s goal of being carbon neutral by 2030, a robust energy industry, favorable tax and regulatory environment and access to top-tier talent. 1\/ pic.twitter.com\/GylnM1aNaO<\/a><\/p>\n
