According to the Malay-language daily newspaper Sinar Harian, Malaysian officials seized 1,720 Bitcoin mining machines worth RM3.5 million ($836,920) during a raid.
The illicit mining farm has taken over RM2 million ($478,240) in electricity.
The authorities undertook a 16-hour operation that included 154 officers and police officers, as well as 15 technicians and six firefighters.
The authorities confiscated monitors, central processing units (CPUs), modems, and other equipment in addition to ASICs.
The police have apprehended a 28-year-old manman who is suspected of being in charge of the farm. To cooperate with the inquiry, he has been remanded in detention for four days.
A steamroller ruthlessly destroyed over 1,000 Bitcoin mining devices inside the police station in July.
