Fort Worth, Texas just became the first municipality in the country to start mining Bitcoin out of city hall.

The city council approved a resolution on Tuesday to accept three Bitcoin mining rigs from the Texas Blockchain Council, a non-profit industry trade group. In doing so, it’s become the first in the U.S. to run a pilot program in which the city government will quite literally be mining Bitcoin twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
