A large Bitcoin mining company located in the state of Wyoming, in the United States, is raising national security concerns due to its proximity to American government military buildings.
According to information obtained in a confidential report dated August 2022, Microsoft alerted the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States about the possible threat posed by the Bitcoin company.
The mining company, whose ownership is unknown, has ties to at least one Chinese company and is located within walking distance of a high-security Microsoft data center that supports the Pentagon and about a mile from F.E. Warren Air Force Base , which houses the 90th Missile Wing.
