A bitcoin mine is a facility designated specifically for mining bitcoins. Other terms, such as "bitcoin farm" or "bitcoin factory" are also used. As ASIC mining became highly optimized, increasing hashrate involved simply buying more chips. Buildings would have to be dedicated to house copious amounts of hardware used for mining, and are usually located in areas with inexpensive electricity and relatively cold climate.
