Many residents of a city in Texas south-west of Dallas, faced with health problems, would have been associated with a constant noise, seems to have nothing to say about a cryptography extraction installation led by Mara Holdings.
In a video published Thursday by the organization of defense of non -profit defenders Plus Perfect Union, the journalist Dan Lieberman spoke with the residents of Granbury, Texas, some of whom lived less than one mile from the Bitcoin mining (BTC) of Mara. Many long -term residents and retirees have described life as “hell” under the almost constant noise of the mining operation, which is in an area not formed in the County of Hood.
“It never disappears, the headaches never disappear,” said an elderly resident on the camera, the sound of the establishment easily heard in the background.
The mining operation, based close to some of the peripheral areas of Granbury, initially inaugurated in 2022 under Compute North, which filed a record later that year. Mara acquired the installation in January 2024.

“It is a different type of noise pollution,” said Mandy Deroche, an assistant assistant to the non -profit organization of environmental law Earthjustice. “It’s not like truck traffic or something like that. It is a special noise that is a low frequency noise that comes from these operations, and it is incessant.”
A group of residents who have been facing noise for months and who for years filed a complaint against Mara – then Digital Marathon – in October 2024. The pursuit allegedly alleged that certain residents underwent “sensory, emotional, psychological and health impacts” from the mining noise of the BTC, including exacerbating preexisting exacerbation conditions.
According to more perfect union interviews, residents said that conditions were responsible for hospitalizations, “constant headaches” and perhaps the death of a horse.
Cointelegraph stretched out Mara and Earthjustice for comments, but none of the companies had responded at the time of publication.
On Wednesday, Mara said that she had planned to offer up to $ 1 billion in convertible elderly tickets, part of which would be allocated to BTC purchases. The company would have held 50,000 BTC, worth around 6 billion dollars at the time of publication.
Will the expression of cryptography have an impact on future American elections?
Months before Texas residents filed the trial against Mara, many Crypto Mining leaders met the candidate of the time, Donald Trump. The meeting seemed to have contributed to Trump to adopt publicly and promote the mining of the BTC, later including them in campaign promises in a speech during the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville.
“Regarding Bitcoin, yes,” said a Granbury resident when he was asked if he regretted voting for Trump in 2024. “I have no problem with the industry. What I have a problem, that’s [what] It makes people here. I think it’s ignored.

The Congress led by the Republicans under Trump did not adopt specific legislation linked to the extraction of Bitcoin, but last week progressed with three bills to address the stablescoins, the digital currencies of the Central Bank and the structure of the digital asset market.
The president also signed a decree in March to establish national stocks of Crypto and BTC in the United States.
