Cryptocurrency mining firm Bitzero is planning to acquire a former missile base in North Dakota.

After acquiring the base at $250,000, Bitzero plans to invest around $500 million in it and turn it into a crypto mine data center.

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum announced that the Cavalier County Job Development has executed binding agreements with Bitzero Blockchain to acquire and redevelop the Stanley R. Mickelsen Safeguard Complex

It became operational in April 1975 but was shuttered after 8 months, when Congress voted in October 1975 to deactivate the complex.

Governor Burgum stated that he is deeply grateful for Bitzero’s significant investment in their state.

CEO Akbar Shamji said that “The Pyramid when correctly understood is a monument to peace.

Bitzero had announced North Dakota as the headquarters and hub for its North American operations in June.
