Oman's Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology launched Omanhash.om on June 17, 2026, establishing it as the only legal bitcoin mining pool for all licensed operators in the Sultanate. The mandatory pool consolidates mining activity under a single regulatory framework as part of Oman Vision 2040, the government's economic diversification strategy targeting reduced oil dependence through digital infrastructure investment. Oman currently controls approximately 3% of global network hashrate, or roughly 30 EH/s, with over $700 million invested in mining and data center infrastructure in the Salalah Free Zone since 2022.
Enegix Global Provides Technology Platform for Omanhash.om
Enegix Global, a vertically integrated digital energy and infrastructure company, provided the technology platform and liquidity infrastructure for Omanhash.om. Frontier Technologies LLC (Frontech), an Omani blockchain and Web3 firm based in Muscat, handles local operations and management. This marks Enegix's second sovereign-level mining pool mandate following Kazakhstan's btcpool.kz, which the company describes as the world's first government-accredited bitcoin mining pool integrated with state tax-reporting systems.
"This is our second sovereign mandate, and it validates the model we have been building since Kazakhstan," said Olzhas Amirov, CBDO of Enegix Global. "Clear licensing frameworks help miners operate legally, avoid excessive taxation, and establish transparent communication with authorities."
Oman Controls 3% of Global Bitcoin Hashrate With $700M Investment
Oman currently controls approximately 3% of global network hashrate, or roughly 30 EH/s, according to Q2 2026 data from Hashrate Index. Omanhash.om targets 10 EH/s in its initial phase. Combined with Enegix's 21pool.io and btcpool.kz pools, the company's total operated hashrate reaches approximately 25 EH/s. Yersaiyn Nurtoleuov, CPO of Enegix Global, confirmed: "Our target is 30 EH/s --- and we are actively building the infrastructure and partnerships to get there."

Total investment in mining and data center infrastructure in the Salalah Free Zone has exceeded $700 million. Two major facilities launched in 2022 and 2023, with licensed operators Exahertz and Green Data City leading buildout. Oman has attracted large-scale mining investment since roughly 2022, driven by its strategic location, available power infrastructure, and cooler climate zones in areas like Salalah.
Omanhash.om Operates Under Oman Vision 2040 Framework
The government's push falls under Oman Vision 2040, an economic diversification strategy targeting reduced dependence on oil through investment in digital infrastructure, AI, data centers, and blockchain. Cryptocurrency is not legal tender in Oman under Central Bank guidance, but regulated mining operations are permitted and encouraged. Before Omanhash.om, licensed miners in Oman operated under a fragmented model. The national pool centralizes that activity under a single framework.
The mandatory status gives regulators direct visibility into hashrate, revenue flows, and compliance across the entire licensed sector. Gauhar Kagira, Director of Enegix Mining Pool, called Oman "one of the first countries in the region to introduce a structured regulatory framework for miners."
Mandatory FPPS Pool Requires Licensed Miner Participation
Omanhash.om uses a Full Pay-Per-Share (FPPS) payout model. Miners receive payouts based on shares submitted, independent of whether the pool finds a block. The pool operator collects a fee. Miners register, connect hardware, and participate through the platform. Participation is not optional for licensed mining companies operating in Oman.
Enegix Previously Built Kazakhstan's btcpool.kz in 2023
The btcpool.kz project in Kazakhstan, launched in October 2023, established the model now deployed in Oman. It consolidated licensed hashrate and enabled direct revenue reporting to tax authorities. That track record positions Enegix as the primary operator in the sovereign mining infrastructure category. Enegix operates data centers with up to 250 MW of capacity in Kazakhstan and Canada and is developing North American operations under Enegix Canada (Corse Energy Corp.), which combines gas extraction, on-site power generation, and bitcoin mining with artificial intelligence (AI) and HPC colocation.
