(Bloomberg) — The U.S. has ordered a Chinese crypto mining company to vacate and sell a property it bought near a Wyoming Air Force base that houses intercontinental ballistic missiles, calling the firm a national security threat.

MineOne Partners Ltd. and its affiliated units and companies “might take action that threatens to impair the national security” of the U.S., the White House said in an order. The firm must divest the real estate it bought in 2022 near the F.E. Warren Air Force Base that houses U.S. nuclear missiles.
