UAE telco du has announced Cloud Miner, a cloud mining service aimed at people in the UAE who want Bitcoin exposure without buying or running rigs. It runs on du’s local data centres, comes as a 24-month subscription, and advertises 250 TH/s per contract. Sign-ups go through an online auction from 3 to 9 November 2025. The company says it’s the first UAE operator to launch an official Mining-as-a-Service offer, with compliance handled through UAE Pass and two-factor authentication.
What du launched
Cloud Miner is a managed cloud mining product delivered as a subscription. It removes hardware, power and maintenance from the user’s side.
- 24-month contract term
- 250 TH/s stated capacity per subscription
- No on-premise gear, power bills or repairs for the customer
The service sits under the du Tech sub-brand and is positioned as an easier entry to Bitcoin mining. du says the model keeps complexity in its data centres while users subscribe and monitor results online. It also claims transparent contracts with no hidden fees listed in the announcement.
Who can use it and when
The offer targets people living in the UAE. Enrolment is through a timed online auction.
- UAE residents only
- Auction window: 3–9 November 2025
- Bidding via onlineauction.ae
The press material sets clear dates. Interested users bid during the one-week window, then activate service after the contract is awarded. There’s no public pricing in the release, so expect details at the auction stage.
How it works, in plain terms
Cloud mining rents you hash power that runs in someone else’s facility. You pay a fee. They run the machines.
- du provides the hardware and energy at its UAE data centres
- Users rent 250 TH/s for two years
- Rewards and performance relate to network difficulty and uptime
Because the hardware lives in du’s sites, users don’t deal with cooling, noise or power spikes. The company handles the rigs and operations. The release frames outcomes as “potential returns,” which is a sensible way to say mining results vary.
Compliance and security
The offer leans on local compliance and authentication tools.
- KYC and AML checks for higher-value transactions
- UAE Pass used for identity verification
- 2FA for account security
Using UAE Pass aligns with how many UAE services verify identity today. For context on the country’s digital ID push, see our coverage of government services adopting UAE Pass in new platforms. Read the UAE PASS angle here. Security-wise, 2FA is standard.
Why du thinks it can run this
Infrastructure. The company has data-centre scale and national network reach.
- Runs the operation in its own UAE facilities
- Sits under the du Tech brand portfolio
- Launch event held in Dubai on 2 November 2025
If you’re judging capability, look at du’s broader network upgrades this year, which show a push on speed and efficiency. Here’s our explainer on du’s 5G+. And here’s the 5G-Advanced rollout with 64T64R gear that improves performance and energy use in the field. Catch the 5G-Advanced story.
On the data-centre side, the UAE market has been growing fast, which matters for power and cooling know-how. See our take on large-scale UAE data-centre upgrades.
What you actually get
A fixed hashrate and a fixed term. The rest depends on the Bitcoin network and operations.
- 250 TH/s capacity stated in the plan
- 24-month contract length
- No pricing disclosed in the press note
du’s pitch is clarity: a set hashrate, set term, and no hidden fees mentioned. The company frames returns as possible, not promised. As ever with mining, results move with Bitcoin price, network difficulty and uptime.
How to sign up
The process is built around a single online event.
- Visit the auction site during 3–9 November 2025
- Bid for the plan you want
- Complete KYC/AML with UAE Pass and secure your account with 2FA
Once contracts are awarded, operations begin without customers needing to install or maintain anything. If you want broader telco context before you commit, our network comparison shows where du stands in everyday speeds. See the UAE network face-off.
