The so-called Mining giant in Crypto industry Bitmain has recently made an announcement about its investment in building Blockchain Datacenter in Texas. As per reports, the investments costs around $500 Million USD for over 7 years time.

This investment represents a key factor for the company as it would help expand its business in North America. Also, the chosen city for construction is Rockdale, Milam County in Texas.

Bitmain plans to complete its first phase of construction by the end of 2018 and roll out its initial operation early in the next year. Essentially this development is expected to create employment opportunity for over 400 people in coming two years. The company is also planning to partner with local schools and educational institutes in order to gear up the upcoming candidates with required technical help.

It’s well-known fact that Bitmain is famous for its crypto-mining hardware and used by popular mining pools such as Antpool and BTC.com
