The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

The people behind Anaconda’s bitcoin business bought MSE Technologies’ grounds and buildings in Butte for an undisclosed sum earlier this month, according to a transfer of deed filed in Butte-Silver Bow County.

The 53-acre MSE facility is expected to be transformed into a bitcoin mining operation by the beginning of March, Dan Burrell, chief executive officer of CryptoWatt, LLC, said Monday in a telephone interview from his Aspen, Colo., home. He expects the operation will employ about 50 people.
