Oman Launches Mandatory National Bitcoin Mining Pool In State-Backed Push

The Sultanate of Oman has launched Omanhash.om, a state-supervised national cryptocurrency mining pool that will serve licensed Bitcoin miners in the country. The move places Oman among a small group of jurisdictions trying to bring Bitcoin mining into a formal national infrastructure framework rather than leaving it entirely to private pool operators.

According to a WebDisclosure release from Enegix Global, the project was launched under the direction of Oman’s Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology. It was developed in cooperation with Frontier Technologies LLC, known as Frontech, and with Enegix Global as technology partner.

Enegix said the initiative aims to consolidate roughly 10 EH/s of Omani mining capacity in its initial phase. The company also said the launch would bring its combined pool hashrate to about 25 EH/s, with a target of 30 EH/s as additional infrastructure and partnerships are developed.

The launch is important because mining pools are becoming more than technical infrastructure. For governments, they can also serve as oversight tools for energy usage, revenue monitoring and regulatory compliance. Oman’s model appears designed to create more visibility into licensed mining activity while still allowing private operators to participate.

Bitcoin mining has become a strategic issue for energy-rich jurisdictions. Countries with access to power resources may see mining as a way to monetize energy, build data infrastructure and participate directly in the Bitcoin network. Oman’s state-supervised approach shows how that strategy can be paired with tighter regulatory control.

Enegix CBDO Olzhas Amirov said governments that want to regulate digital mining effectively need partners able to deliver both technical infrastructure and institutional credibility. That statement captures the policy logic behind the launch.

The next question is how miners respond to the mandatory-pool model and whether other countries in the region follow Oman’s lead. If the structure succeeds, it may become a template for sovereign mining oversight.

Hashrate growth will also be important. The first-phase 10 EH/s figure is meaningful, but the longer-term impact depends on whether licensed miners actually consolidate through Omanhash.om and whether new facilities come online.

For Bitcoin, the story is another sign that mining is moving deeper into national policy discussions, particularly where energy strategy and digital infrastructure overlap.
