A Bitcoin mine in Corpus Christi has been using significant amounts of water. Last year, its usage exceeded 11 million gallons. The city is currently dealing with a water crisis.

Despite this, the city has chosen not to release public records on the mine's current water usage. The decision to keep this information secret is based on a state law allowing individual customer account information to be kept private. For more information on this situation, readers can refer to the Texas Standard.
