Abu Dhabi’s Phoenix Group, one of the world’s leading bitcoin miners, completed construction on a new crypto currency mining facility in North Dakota. The 50MW facility was built in a record time—five months from groundbreaking to operation. The site represents a significant expansion of Phoenix Group's US mining capacity, joining the company's existing operations in South Carolina.

Why This Matters

UAE firms like Phoenix Group are investing in high-performance digital infrastructure—from blockchain facilities to some of the world's largest data centers—across the US. These buildouts create economic benefits and support local jobs across the value chain, from construction to high-tech operations. Phoenix Group's expansion from South Carolina to North Dakota deepens tech collaboration between both nations and positions the company as a growing player in American digital asset mining.

“The United States has always been a key hub for our mining operations and the opening of the Dakota site is another major step in Phoenix Group expanding its investment in this key market.” – Reza Nedjatian, Phoenix Group’s Global Mining Operations CEO
