Bitzero Blockchain is looking to create a data center at The Nekoma site, which was built in reaction to a 1972 treaty between the U.S and the Soviet Union. North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum says the center will look to mine cryptocurencies like bitcoin. The company hopes to build a 200 megawatts of data centers throughout the state within the next three years.
