Alcoa has leased space to Bitdeer and Riot Blockchain, the two largest Bitcoin mining companies in the US.
Bitdeer - a spin-off company from Chinese bitcoin mining giant Bitmain - is just 0.4 miles from Riot Blockchain, one of the largest publicly traded mining companies in the US.
Rockdale offers all the gear a bitcoin miner could dream of: cryptocurrency-friendly politicians, vast tracts of land, abandoned industrial infrastructure, and a connection to the Texas power grid.
All you have to do is take a cable, connect it to someone else built machine, turn it on, add a pool, and you're already mining bitcoins.
