Mining Firm Mara Holdings Sues Texas Official to Stop Noise Regulation Vote on Its Bitcoin Mining Facility

2025.11.02 08:24:12

On November 2nd, as reported by FOX 4, the residents of Hood County, Texas, are making plans to set up a new town called "Mitchell Bend" through a referendum in order to restrict the noise from Bitcoin mining farms. The Bitcoin mining company Mara Holdings intends to prevent the election from taking place and has filed a lawsuit in the federal court, arguing that the residents' petition is invalid and that the officials are colluding. The mining farm operates an extremely large number of ASIC machines day and night, and the residents have complained that the noise is disturbing. The court will make a ruling on whether to suspend the operation before the official vote next week.
