Texas Bitcoin Mining Noise Lawsuit: Some Resident Claims Withdrawn After Review
- —Marathon Digital took over the Granbury site in March 2024; mining had operated there since 2003
- —About 80% of the data center has been converted from air cooling to immersion cooling
- —A sound wall roughly 25 feet high was installed between residents and mining equipment
- —Independent county measurements found noise well below 85 dB and no detectable vibration
Why it matters: The case's outcome could set a precedent for other US mining projects facing lawsuits from local communities.
