The incident took place on Monday at a data centre operated by Innosilicon, according to bitcoin mining expert Marshall Long, who posted pictures of the fire on social media.
Other mining experts speculated that the loss to the bitcoin mining network may have helped contribute to bitcoin's recent price resurgence, which has seen its value rise by more than $500 over the last 24 hours.
Innosilicon has not confirmed that the fire took place at its facilities and did not respond to a request for comment from The Independent.
