If one company’s recent land acquisition is any indication, the cryptocurrency market is only picking up speed.

Blockchains, LLC, named after the technology underpinning bitcoin, has closed on a 67,125-acre piece of land in the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center, a Northern Nevada industrial park, The Nevada Independent reports.

While terms of the deal have not been disclosed, the land is estimated to be valued at around $175M and will soon be home to Blockchain’s new corporate headquarters and software design research center.
