UAE telecom giant du has launched “Cloud Miner”, a new cloud-based Bitcoin mining service designed to make cryptocurrency mining simple and accessible for everyone in the Emirates, requiring no specialized hardware or technical expertise.
Launched under du’s technology-focused sub-brand du Tech, the service lets users rent mining power directly from du’s local data centers through a subscription model. Users on the platform can bid for mining contracts through online auctions.
More Flexible Mining
The company’s latest sub-brand, Cloud Miner, offers a subscription service for Bitcoin mining. Users can rent computational power (hash rate measured in TH/s) hosted in du’s UAE-based data centers. Each contract runs for 24 months, and du manages installation, cooling, operations, and energy management, and participants are informed exactly what capacity they’re renting and what to expect in terms of output.
Key details of du’s offering include:
- Cloud-based Bitcoin mining (no physical hardware required)
- Host infrastructure: du’s local UAE data centers
- Contract duration: 24 months
- Subscription model: Rent hash rate (in TH/s) via online auction
- Maintenance & electricity: Handled entirely by du.
- Support: Local customer service and a real-time dashboard for tracking rewards
A New Milestone in the UAE’s Crypto Journey
The UAE has already positioned itself as a leader in digital assets through frameworks established by VARA and the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA). du’s cloud miner fits into this ecosystem by bridging telecom infrastructure, clean energy, and blockchain technology. By hosting mining locally, du is reducing dependency on foreign mining farms, keeping energy use and data under national oversight, and expanding blockchain literacy among retail users. Du’s cloud miner could serve as a blueprint for integrating digital assets into everyday life. For retail users, it removes barriers that once kept mining out of reach.
