The North Dakota location will add more than 2.7 exahashes to the pool’s global hash rate
Phoenix Group, an Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange-listed company and one of the world’s leading Bitcoin mining companies, has launched its 50 MW cryptocurrency mining facility in North Dakota, as part of its attempt to expand its capabilities and investments in the United States.
The site, which was completed in record time, reinforces its position as a leader in providing large-scale, high-performance digital asset infrastructure.
Once fully operational, the site will add more than 2.7 exahashes – a unit of measurement used to determine the processing power of a cryptocurrency mining network – to Phoenix’s global capacity.
CEO Reza Neidjatian said the United States has always been a major hub for its mining operations, adding that the opening of the 50 MW Dakota site is another step in expanding investment in this key market.
In August 2024, the company teamed up with Tether, a cryptocurrency company, to launch a stablecoin pegged to the UAE dirham.
The global stablecoin market is currently worth $150 billion, and is set to grow significantly to $2.8 trillion by 2028.
