The UAE‑linked Citadel Mining has mined and held about 6,782 Bitcoin ($453.6 million), according to on‑chain data tracked by Arkham Intelligence. The mining push began in 2022 and leverages Abu Dhabi’s low‑cost energy and industrial facilities, with no major Bitcoin outflows in the past four months, suggesting a long‑term stance. After accounting for energy costs, unrealized profit on the holdings is around $344 million. The accumulation ranks the UAE among the world’s notable Bitcoin holders and reflects a broader national strategy of using mining to build digital reserves rather than simply trading assets.
