Abu Dhabi-listed Phoenix Group deepens its U.S. footprint with the opening of a 50 MW crypto mining site in North Dakota.
Phoenix Group has opened a 50 MW crypto mining facility in North Dakota, as the Abu Dhabi-based firm doubles down on its plan to expand Bitcoin (BTC) mining operations in the U.S., per an Arabian Gulf Business Insight report.
The facility will add over 2.7 exahashes to Phoenix Group’s mining arm once fully operational. Phoenix Mining chief executive Reza Nedjatian described the U.S. as a key market for the company, calling the new facility a vital step in its investment strategy. The latest expansion follows another move to strengthen its U.S. presence, as Phoenix Group previously opened a 25 MW mining facility in Willamette, South Carolina.
