Gigatons and Hearst will develop the UAE\u2019s largest solar-powered <\/strong>cryptocurrency <\/strong>mining farm:<\/strong> Climate technology platform Gigatons<\/a> and Dubai-based blockchain firm Hearst partnered to build the UAE's largest solar-powered cryptocurrency mining farm in Abu Dhabi, Hearst<\/a> \u2019s COO Loic Ricci told the National<\/a>. The first phase of the mining farm is expected to have a capacity of 50-100 MW, with the upper end potentially driving USD 1 bn in investments. <\/p>\n

The investment breakdown:<\/strong> The companies will kick things off with USD 10 mn proof of concept, with each MW valued at \"tens of mns of USD,\" Ricci said. The incremental investment strategy will expand from USD 10 mn to USD 100 mn, and then potentially reaching USD 1 bn. <\/p>\n

The timeline:<\/strong> The JV is expected to be finalized along with regulatory approvals by the end of 2024, with construction beginning in 1Q 2025.<\/p>\n
