Oman has taken one of the most direct steps taken by any government to bring Bitcoin mining under formal state oversight, launching a mandatory national mining pool that licensed operators across the sultanate are required to join.
The park, omanhash.com, has been launched by the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology of the Sultanate of Oman and will be operated in collaboration with Frontier Technologies LLC, an Omani blockchain and Web3 company.
ENEGEX Global, a vertically integrated digital energy and infrastructure company, Built The technology platform and liquidity infrastructure behind it. The company named it the official national pool for cryptocurrency mining in the Sultanate of Oman.
Under the approved regulatory framework, omanhash.om is the only official and mandatory mining pool for all licensed cryptocurrency mining companies in the country. The pool is expected to integrate approximately 10 exahashes per second of computing power in its initial phase – a measure of the total computational work directed at securing the Bitcoin network and, in turn, minting new coins.
This hash rate is important to Bitcoin in a direct way. The more focused and organized the hash rate becomes within the national framework, the more government will see it Mining revenuesThe energy consumption and flow of newly minted Bitcoin. It appears that the state is not trying to ban or restrict this activity, but rather to pull it into an organized and traceable system.
Batch Mining in Oman
The country has been one of the most active jurisdictions in The Middle East To invest in industrial-scale mining since 2022, when the ministry launched a $370 million water-cooled mining facility in Salalah.
Total investments in mining infrastructure and data centers in the Salalah Free Zone have since exceeded $700 million, including two major facilities built in 2022 and 2023. Alps Blockchain, an Italian company, commissioned a 150 MW facility in Salalah at full capacity in mid-2025. Omanhash.om reflects the government’s next phase: pulling this backlog of capacity into an organized and transparent national architecture.
For Enegix, the mandate is its second sovereign contract. Company Built It operates btcpool.kz in Kazakhstan, where the 2023 Digital Assets Law requires licensed miners to operate through government-approved pools and report revenue to tax authorities through an automated system.
With the addition of omanhash.om, Enegix’s combined collections reach approximately 25 EH/s across three clusters.
“This is our second sovereign mandate, and it validates the model we have built since Kazakhstan,” Olsas Amirov, chief business development officer at Enigex Global, said in a company press release, noting that licensing frameworks help miners operate within the law, avoid punitive taxes, and communicate with regulators.
Oman’s approach contrasts with jurisdictions that have opposed mining through outright bans or heavy tax burdens. Instead, the sultanate has integrated mining into a broader strategy of economic diversification — and is now adding a layer of central control that keeps bitcoin production within the country’s regulatory scope.
Enegix said its next goal is to increase its pool hash rate to 30 EH/s.
