Cryptocurrency miners have seen the future, and it's in Butte, Montana.
Over the past six months, more than $350 million in new cryptocurrency mining data centers have been announced in this small southwestern Montana community, and more may be coming soon.
The tale of the tape counts CryptoWatt's $100-million facility and Power Block Coin's $251-million plant, on top of others that already exist in this hardscrabble town known for mining of another variety.
