JUST IN: Fort Worth Becomes First U.S. City to Mine Bitcoin Cowtown Goes Crypto

Fort Worth, Texas, has officially become the first U.S. city to mine Bitcoin deploying three donated rigs in City Hall back in April 2022 as part of a six-month pilot. The initiative wasn’t about profit, but signaling Fort Worth’s commitment to innovation and blockchain tech. The project smashed media impressions, hosted a blockchain summit locally, and even upgraded its setup to a more energy-efficient miner. The machines continue running, reportedly earning a few thousand dollars after electricity costs.
