Fort Worth, TX Bitcoin Municipal Mining First United States

Complete

The city accepted a gift of three Bitcoin mining rigs from the Texas Blockchain Council. These machines connect to a private server in Fort Worth's climate-controlled data center. Operational costs for around-the-clock mining are offset by Bitcoin converted into cash at preset intervals. City officials evaluated the technology's requirements, security needs, and potential uses during the six-month pilot.
