President Biden Orders Shutdown of Bitcoin Mine Near Sensitive Air Force Base

拜登總統下令關閉敏感空軍基地附近的比特幣礦場

Cheyenne, Wyoming - On May 13, 2023, President Joe Biden issued an executive order compelling the closure of a cryptocurrency mining facility located in Cheyenne, Wyoming, due to concerns over national security. The bitcoin mine, owned by MineOne Partners, a company with Chinese nationals as shareholders, is situated within a one-mile radius of Francis E. Warren Air Force Base, which houses Minuteman III nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles.

懷俄明州夏延市 - 2023 年 5 月 13 日，出於對國家安全的擔憂，總統喬拜登發布了一項行政命令，強制關閉位於懷俄明州夏延的加密貨幣採礦設施。該比特幣礦由 MineOne Partners 擁有，該公司是一家以中國公民為股東的公司，位於弗朗西斯·E·沃倫空軍基地方圓一英里範圍內，該基地部署了民兵 III 核洲際彈道飛彈。

The executive order was prompted by a public tip that triggered an investigation by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). CFIUS concluded that the bitcoin facility "might take action that threatens to impair the national security of the United States."

該行政命令是由一項公開舉報引發的，該舉報引發了美國外國投資委員會（CFIUS）的調查。 CFIUS 的結論是，該比特幣設施「可能會採取可能損害美國國家安全的行動」。

In a statement, President Biden emphasized that foreign investments near critical infrastructure could pose significant risks to national security. He noted that the presence of the bitcoin mine near Francis E. Warren Air Force Base raised concerns about potential interference with military operations, sensitive communications, and the safety of nuclear weapons.

拜登總統在聲明中強調，關鍵基礎設施附近的外國投資可能對國家安全構成重大風險。他指出，弗朗西斯·E·沃倫空軍基地附近存在比特幣礦場，引發了人們對軍事行動、敏感通訊和核武安全可能受到干擾的擔憂。

The executive order mandates that the owners of the facility remove their equipment within 90 days and sell or transfer ownership of the property within 120 days. The facility owners, who previously cited a favorable deal with a local power company as the reason for choosing the site, have not commented on the executive order.

該行政命令要求設施所有者在 90 天內拆除設備，並在 120 天內出售或轉讓財產所有權。設施所有者先前曾將與當地一家電力公司達成的有利協議作為選擇該地點的原因，但尚未對行政命令發表評論。

Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon expressed support for President Biden's decision, stating that it aligns with the state's commitment to protecting national security. Gordon acknowledged the efforts of state Senator Tara Nethercott (R-Cheyenne) in sponsoring Senate File 77 during the previous legislative session. The bill provided guidelines for foreign land sales near critical infrastructure.

懷俄明州州長馬克戈登表示支持拜登總統的決定，並表示這符合該州保護國家安全的承諾。戈登承認州參議員塔拉·內瑟科特（R-Cheyenne）在上次立法會議期間為發起參議院 77 號文件所做的努力。該法案為關鍵基礎設施附近的外國土地銷售提供了指導方針。

Similar concerns have been raised in other states. Earlier this month, the governor of Arkansas signed a bill prohibiting foreign entities from purchasing land within a specified distance of military installations and critical infrastructure.

其他州也提出了類似的擔憂。本月早些時候，阿肯色州州長簽署了一項法案，禁止外國實體購買軍事設施和關鍵基礎設施指定距離內的土地。
