Bahrain Builds Crypto Hub
TDT | Manama As Bitcoin rebounds globally, Bahrain is quietly building its own digital gold rush. Supported by progressive regulation and hightech infrastructure, the Kingdom is emerging as a serious contender in the global cryptocurrency mining market, and one Bahraini firm says it is only the beginning. Rising global role Crypto Miners, a company specialising in the sale, installation, and maintenance of mining equipment, says the sector's growing momentum within Bahrain is helping reinforce the Kingdom's position as a competitive regional hub with global potential. The company believes this development is also drawing more foreign direct investment into Bahrain's digital economy. 'Bahrain's financial ecosystem and regulatory clarity give us the ability to grow sustainably and export our services abroad,' said Wassim Saaduddin, Technical Sales Manager at Crypto Miners. He added that the Kingdom is uniquely placed to serve as a launchpad for international crypto operations, thanks to its policy stability and infrastructure. Infrastructure and awareness At the core of Crypto Miners' strategy is a vision to localise this high-tech industry, building critical infrastructure , training Bahraini talent , and supporting knowledge transfer. The company also sees awareness as essential to sustainable sector growth, and says it actively runs public engagement campaigns to help familiarise Bahrainis with digital currencies and blockchain. 'As part of our corporate social responsibility, we're committed to raising awareness about digital assets and creating safe, reliable investment pathways,' Saaduddin noted. Aligned with national vision Crypto Miners says its longterm efforts are in full alignment with Bahrain's Economic Vision 2030, which prioritises innovation, digital transformation, and sustainable growth. The company believes that positioning Bahrain as a regional and global leader in crypto mining is not only realistic, but already in progress. With firms like Crypto Miners anchoring the sector, Bahrain appears to be gaining traction in a space once dominated by much larger economies.
