Phoenix
Group, the first UAE-listed Bitcoin (BTC) mining company (ADX: PHX), posted a
43% decline in quarterly revenue compared to last year and reported a $29.2
million net loss, even as it expanded its digital asset holdings and maintained
profitable operations across its global facilities.
The company
reported $29.1 million in revenue for the three months ended June 30, down from
$51.2 million in the same period last year. The quarterly net loss of $29.2
million contrasted sharply with a $56.1 million profit in Q2 2024, highlighting
the challenges facing cryptocurrency miners amid volatile digital asset
markets.
Phoenix’s
six-month net loss reached $182.8 million, compared to a $122.3 million profit
in the first half of 2024. The losses were primarily driven by unrealized
losses on digital asset holdings totaling $166.1 million during the first six
months of the year.
However,
Phoenix managed to increase its Bitcoin mining output and establish what it
calls the first formal digital asset treasury among companies listed on the Abu
Dhabi Securities Exchange.
Phoenix
mined 336 Bitcoin during the second quarter, including revenue-generating
activities that produced $21.1 million compared to $28.5 million in Q2 2024.
The company’s self-mining operations generated 214 Bitcoin during the quarter,
contributing to a cumulative 689 Bitcoin mined in the first half of 2025 (437 BTC self-mined).
Digital Asset Treasury
Takes Shape
The
company’s most notable development involved formalizing a digital asset
treasury valued at over $150 million, primarily consisting of Bitcoin and
Solana tokens. Phoenix now holds 517 Bitcoin and more than 610,000 Solana
tokens as part of its long-term reserves, making it the first ADX-listed entity
to adopt such a strategy.
Munaf Ali, the CEO of Phoenix
“Phoenix
has always been more than just a mining company. We’re a conviction-led digital
infrastructure group,” said Munaf Ali, CEO and Co-Founder. “Holding
Bitcoin and other strategic digital assets isn’t just about exposure. It’s
about alignment.”
The
treasury strategy comes as Phoenix maintains relatively low debt levels of
$28.1 million compared to many competitors in the mining sector. This balance
sheet position has enabled the company to pursue expansion opportunities
without the leverage constraints facing other operators.
Quarterly Performance
Mixed
Despite
revenue declines, Phoenix reported improved operational metrics in key areas.
The company achieved a 31% gross margin on self-mining operations and reduced
energy costs by 14% compared to previous periods. However, the quarter included
a $29.2 million loss for the three-month period, largely attributed to digital
asset revaluations and accounting adjustments.
When
compared to the first quarter of 2025, Phoenix showed modest improvement. Q1
revenue totaled $31.3 million, meaning the second quarter represented a 7%
decline quarter-over-quarter. The company’s Q1 loss was significantly larger at
$153.6 million, primarily due to digital asset writedowns during that period.
Equipment
sales and hosting services contributed $8.1 million to Q2 revenue, down from
$22.7 million in the prior year quarter. The decline reflects broader industry
challenges as mining equipment demand fluctuated with Bitcoin price movements
throughout 2024 and early 2025.

Share Performance and
Market Position
Phoenix’s
stock price rose 72% between April and June, making it one of the most actively
traded securities on the Abu Dhabi exchange. The rally extended into July, with
the company reporting a 110% increase since early April.
The recent
gains have coincided with a broader surge in cryptocurrencies and a new
all-time high for Bitcoin above $120,000, highlighting the direct correlation
between Phoenix’s valuation, like that of other Bitcoin miners, and momentum in
digital assets.
The price
increase helped Phoenix shed its penny-stock status, with shares trading at AED
1.49 on Thursday after a 3.25% drop. Despite the recent appreciation, the stock
remains down more than 40% from its post-IPO peak.

The company is also exploring a potential listing in the United States and continues to scale its Bitcoin mining operations in North America.
AI Infrastructure
Expansion
Looking
beyond traditional cryptocurrency mining, Phoenix is conducting feasibility
studies to convert portions of its U.S. infrastructure for artificial
intelligence and high-performance computing applications. The company targets
building 1 gigawatt of hybrid infrastructure by 2027.
“We
see strategic opportunities to consolidate underutilized infrastructure
globally,” Ali explained. “Many smaller operators are stuck with land
and power they can’t convert into meaningful compute.”
Phoenix
maintains its position as the largest Bitcoin miner in the Middle East and
North Africa region, though global competition has intensified.
