The U.S. government has issued an order for a Chinese cryptocurrency mining company to sell a property it purchased near a Wyoming Air Force base that houses intercontinental ballistic missiles. The White House has deemed MineOne Partners Ltd. and its affiliated units as a potential national security threat, stating that they may take actions that could jeopardize the country’s security.
The firm has been instructed to divest the real estate it acquired in 2022 near the F.E. Warren Air Force Base, which is home to U.S. nuclear missiles. The decision to force the company to vacate the property comes amid concerns about potential risks posed by foreign entities operating in close proximity to sensitive military installations.
The move reflects the U.S. government’s efforts to safeguard national security interests and prevent any potential threats from emerging. The decision highlights the importance of maintaining a secure environment around critical defense facilities to ensure the safety and security of the country.
