Phoenix Group Acquires $187 Million Worth of Bitcoin Mining Machines from Bitmain
In Brief
UAE-based Phoenix Group partnered with Whatsminer to acquire Bitcoin mining machines worth $187 million from crypto mining firm Bitmain.
UAE-based crypto mining company Phoenix Group collaborated with Whatsminer to acquire Bitcoin mining machines totaling $187 million from renowned crypto mining server manufacturer — Bitmain.
The strategic acquisition follows Phoenix Group’s collaboration with Whatsminer, disclosed in December 2023 and the company’s IPO on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) during the same month. The Bitmain deal serves to enhance Phoenix Group’s hashing power and market share.
“This latest deal, following our successful IPO and partnerships, signals our relentless pursuit of excellence and solidifies our leadership in this dynamic space. Partnering with titans like Bitmain and Whatsminer equips us with the best tech, fuels our growth, and redefines the future of efficient and sustainable mining.” said Bijan Alizadehfard, Co-Founder & Group CEO of Phoenix Group.
Phoenix Group also maintains a commitment to environmentally friendly practices by incorporating hydro cooling technology, a collaborative effort with both Bitmain and Whatsminer.
The company earlier acquired hydro cooling hardware equipment from WhatsMiner, amounting to a $380-million deal. It employs a closed-loop water system, ensuring the preservation of water volume and quality within pipes. This system enhances heat transfer efficiency, given that water is a more effective heat conductor compared to air or oil.
“Our environmental responsibility is core to our values. Partnerships like these, coupled with our commitment to hydro cooling, pave the way for a greener blockchain future,” said Munaf Ali, Co-Founder & Group MD of Phoenix Group.
These collective actions strengthen Phoenix Group’s position in the global mining sector, emphasizing its influence and impact on the industry. Established in 2017, Phoenix Group PLC aims to redefine the future of blockchain technology and shape the mining landscape.
