- Oman has launched a mandatory national Bitcoin mining pool for all licensed miners.
- The new system gives regulators better oversight of mining activity and energy use.
- The move supports Oman’s long-term plan to expand its digital economy through regulated blockchain projects.
Oman has introduced a new national system to regulate Bitcoin mining across the country. The government now requires every licensed cryptocurrency mining company to operate through a single official mining pool. The decision marks one of the strongest government-led efforts to organize the growing mining industry under direct state supervision.
The Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology launched the platform, known as Omanhash.com, in partnership with Frontier Technologies LLC, a local blockchain and Web3 company. Enegix Global developed the technical platform and liquidity infrastructure that powers the project. The government has approved Omanhash.com as the only official mining pool for licensed operators.
Oman Strengthens Bitcoin Mining Infrastructure
Authorized mining firms must connect their computing power to the platform. The pool is expected to launch with nearly 10 exahashes per second of processing power, making it one of the largest mining operations in the region. Oman has seen an increase in investments for industrial Bitcoin mining over the past several years.
The country inaugurated a huge hydro-cooling mining plant in Salalah back in 2022 and invested $370 million into the project. From then on, mining and data center projects in the Salalah Free Zone have received more than $700 million worth of investment.
The industry developed even further after some international firms set up their operations in Oman. In 2025, a huge 150 megawatts mining plant became operational. This is the next step in the development of Oman’s blockchain mining business.
Oman Centralizes Bitcoin Mining Under National Pool
Whereas mining firms could mine Bitcoin in different international pools before, the new policy seeks to consolidate mining within a single national framework that would enhance oversight and transparency.
The new mining pool gives regulators a clearer view of mining revenue, energy consumption, and the number of new bitcoins miners create and put into circulation within the country. The policy does not prohibit mining. On the contrary, the policy seeks to integrate the practice within a framework where there would be legality and accountability.
The project will also expand the sovereign mining pool operations of Enegix Global, having previously operated in Kazakhstan within the digital asset laws of the country. The Oman strategy stands out in that it is different from other countries that have discouraged mining through prohibitions and high taxes.
