The firm recently acquired a 320-acre plot of land in Texas, which it plans to use to expand its mining operations with an additional 200-megawatts of electrical power, also derived from renewable energy sources.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Executive of Argo, Peter Wall, said making Bitcoin more green was a major priority, and urged other Bitcoin mining companies to follow suit:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAddressing climate change is a priority for Argo and partnering with DMG to create the first &#8216;green&#8217; Bitcoin mining pool is an important step towards protecting our planet now and for generations to come.
