Many of these optimal trading locations are in the ocean. The spar buoy based structures designed by the Seasteading Institute are directly applicable, as they are about the only seagoing designs that are safe for permanent habitation. (Immune even to rogue waves.)
Eh, you don't really need habitation -- just a datacenter. It may be more cost-effective to design something specifically for this. At the minimum you're going to have to work out cooling and power anyway (hydroelectric and "just stick the heat sink in the ocean"?).

At the minimum, there should be an expectation of the platform surviving the environment. Decoupling from wave energy is the point of a spar buoy. Even inanimate servers are perturbed by being smashed by walls of water. Did you actually read or search on anything mentioned, or did you just go with the "stead" in the name?
I actually looked at the engineering documents -- they weren't that detailed. It's not exactly what I'd expect from a build-ready project. That said, I'm not a civil engineer.
I'll also note, if you understood what those folks are about, that many of these folks would be happy to make a home out there if someone would pay them a normal-ish salary to maintain such a datacenter. I suspect this could end up economically advantageous both for the seasteaders and whatever company wanted to establish the datacenter.
(As opposed to the 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, hazard-pay situation people are in for offshore drilling operations.)
