Why Oman Is Organizing $BTC Mining at the National Level

Oman has introduced a national Bitcoin mining pool called Omanhash.om. The platform was launched on June 17, 2026, by the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology in partnership with Frontier Technologies, while Enegix Global provides technical support.

Under the new system, all licensed Bitcoin miners in Oman are required to connect their hashrate to this single pool. The platform uses an FPPS payout model, offers automatic daily payments, and allows withdrawals starting from 0.001 BTC. The servers are located inside Oman, which means mining activity and related revenue remain within the country.

This move is part of a broader effort to expand the country’s digital infrastructure. Since 2022, Oman has attracted more than $700 million in investments related to mining and data centers, with many projects concentrated around the Salalah Free Zone.

One reason countries with abundant energy resources are interested in Bitcoin mining is that excess electricity can be converted into economic activity. Mining facilities require power, hardware, and supporting infrastructure, which can also create demand for engineering, maintenance, and data center services.

According to estimates, Oman has around 30 EH/s of Bitcoin hashrate, representing roughly 3% of the global network. While this does not make Oman one of the largest mining countries, it gives the country a noticeable presence in the industry.

The mandatory pool structure also gives regulators a clearer picture of energy consumption and mining output. This can help with planning, taxation, and compliance, while miners benefit from a defined legal framework and predictable payouts.

Oman’s approach shows how some countries are beginning to view Bitcoin mining not only as a private business activity, but also as part of their wider plans for technology and infrastructure development.
