SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A crypto mining company is planning to redevelop an abandoned northeastern North Dakota anti-ballistic missile site into a mining and data center for bitcoin and other digital currencies.

Bitzero announced last month that it planned to make North Dakota its headquarters for North American operations.

The company says within three years it intends to build 200 megawatts of data centers in the state and is involved in a joint venture to become an assembly and distribution hub for graphene battery technology.

Bitzero is backed by strategic investor and “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary.
