Oman has launched a mandatory national Bitcoin mining pool, Omanhash.om, to consolidate 10 EH/s of hashrate under state oversight and regulatory control.
Oman has launched a mandatory national Bitcoin mining pool, Omanhash.om, requiring all licensed cryptocurrency miners in the sultanate to join the state-backed platform [1]. The move marks a shift toward centralized oversight of the country's industrial-scale mining sector, which has attracted over $700 million in infrastructure investment since 2022 [1].
| At a glance | |
|---|---|
| National Pool Capacity | 10 EH/s (initial phase) |
| Total Mining Investment | Over $700 million in Salalah |
| Enegix Global Pool Ops | 25 EH/s (combined) |
| Mining Reward | 3.125 BTC per block + fees |
The Omanhash.om platform was developed by the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology in partnership with Frontier Technologies LLC and Enegix Global [1]. By mandating participation, the government aims to gain direct visibility into mining revenue, energy consumption, and the flow of newly minted bitcoin [1]. This architecture follows the sultanate’s broader economic diversification strategy, which has already established significant infrastructure, including a 150 MW facility operated by Alps Blockchain that reached full operation in mid-2025 [1].
Enegix Global, which also operates a sovereign pool in Kazakhstan, claims the model helps miners avoid punitive taxation and maintain compliance with local law [1]. The company reports that its combined pool operations now reach approximately 25 EH/s, with a stated target to grow that capacity to 30 EH/s [1]. Unlike jurisdictions that have implemented outright bans, Oman is integrating mining into a structured, trackable system to ensure production remains within the country’s regulatory reach [1].
While Oman moves toward state-mandated pools, other platforms continue to offer retail and enterprise mining services globally. ECOS, a mining platform licensed in Armenia, reports it has operated for 7 years and claims to serve over 900,000 customers through its own data centers and cloud mining products [2]. The platform, which partners with Bitmain for hardware, provides services ranging from ASIC rentals to institutional enterprise solutions [2].
The broader mining industry currently operates against a backdrop of daily rewards totaling 3.125 BTC per block, plus transaction fees [2]. As of the latest reporting, the Bitcoin network generates approximately $42 million in block rewards and $19 million in fees daily, assuming a price of $115,000 per bitcoin [2]. These figures highlight the scale of the sector, which now competes for energy and capital in jurisdictions ranging from the Middle East to the Caucasus [1, 2].
The launch of Omanhash.om signals a growing trend of governments treating Bitcoin mining as a strategic national asset rather than a peripheral industry. Whether this model of state-led transparency will be adopted by other jurisdictions remains the primary question for the future of decentralized mining.
