Plan C Crypto, a California-based data mining company, will open a Regional Headquarters facility in Fayetteville. The Fayetteville site will be the company's fourth mining facility in North Carolina, one being in Wilson.

According to the Fayetteville Cumberland County Economic Development Corporation, Plan C Crypto expects to create 19 jobs by the end of the year, with more to follow. They are looking for skilled professionals in the electrical, security and information technology fields. The company is targeting military veterans and spouses as potential employees for the positions.

 “Attracting high-tech jobs and new investments to Cumberland County and Fayetteville is a major priority for our community, and this announcement is an indication that we are achieving results,” said Robert Van Geons, FCEDC President & CEO. “Our region is an ideal location for innovative companies focused on business growth. By opening its regional headquarters here, this cryptocurrency facility shows we are a competitive location for technology-driven operations. We are grateful for the support of Elaina Ball, CEO and General Manager of Fayetteville Public Works Commission and her team, and for the hard work of FCEDC Vice President Rob Patton, whose efforts were critical in bringing this project to our community. Announcements like these would not be possible without the support we receive from the City of Fayetteville and Cumberland County.”

Plan C Crypto is expected to go online in the fall of 2022, however, the location of the site was not announced.

Plan C Crypto’s CEO Antonio Bestard stated that the company is excited to invest in the area.

“Fayetteville has everything we want to see for a world-class facility, including a business-friendly climate, strong existing infrastructure, and talented workforce," Bestard said. “We will use demand response proof of work mining to bring zonal grid stability at the substation level and bring high-paying jobs to the region.”
