Oman Establishes State-Supervised Bitcoin Mining Pool

Oman has introduced Omanhash, a national Bitcoin mining pool designed to centralize hashrate under state oversight. The initiative, backed by the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology, mandates that all licensed mining firms operating within the country route their computing power through this singular, government-sanctioned infrastructure.

The project aims to consolidate an initial 10 EH/s of computing power, marking a strategic pivot toward formalizing the domestic cryptocurrency sector. Frontier Technologies LLC is managing local operations, while Enegix Global supplies the underlying technology platform and liquidity infrastructure. According to Enegix Chief Business Development Officer Olzhas Amirov, the move provides a clear regulatory framework that keeps communication lines between miners and authorities open.

This launch follows significant capital inflow into the Salalah Free Zone, where data-center and mining infrastructure have attracted over $700 million in investment since 2022. By integrating mining into a regulated system, Oman gains granular visibility into energy consumption and pool-level activity. This model positions the nation as a supervised hub for digital asset production rather than pursuing the restrictive bans seen in other jurisdictions, effectively embedding crypto mining into the country’s broader digital infrastructure strategy.
