Phoenix Group PLC hosts second Annual General Meeting following year of significant strategic evolution
Abu Dhabi, UAE: Phoenix Group PLC (ADX: PHX), a pioneering global cryptocurrency, blockchain, and next-generation digital asset infrastructure company, has held its second Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Dubai, where all resolutions were passed. The board of Directors and shareholders reviewed the company's operational and financial milestones for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.
Chairman H.E. Tareq Abdulraheem Al Hosani opened the session by reflecting on Phoenix Group's strategic evolution, the continued focus on its fast-scaling Bitcoin mining operations and expansion into key markets, including North Dakota, Oman, and Canada. He acknowledged the company's agile decision to exit CIS-based operations due to geopolitical risks, allowing Phoenix to strengthen its position in high-growth markets with abundant low-cost energy.
'In 2024, we executed one of our most transformative years to date,' he said. 'By reinforcing our presence across North America and the Gulf, we scaled with discipline, precision, and speed, while maintaining our commitment to transparency, uptime, and operational excellence.'
The financial performance was presented by Group CEO and Board Member Munaf Ali, who provided an overview of the Group's financial performance, highlighting Phoenix Group's 236% year-over-year increase in mining revenue, rising from $32 million in 2023 to $107 million in 2024. Quarter-over-quarter mining income also rose 13% in Q4, with the company's adjusted net income reaching $193 million, adjusting for one-off Q4 accounting items.
'Between 2022 and 2024, Phoenix's mining revenue grew by over 1800%. That's not just growth, but it's scale, delivered efficiently,' Ali said. 'We've expanded our footprint across five countries, energized almost 500MW of capacity, and deployed more than 100,000 mining units worldwide. This year's momentum sets the foundation for what's next: AI compute, data infrastructure, and global financial integration.'
Ali also emphasized Phoenix's long-term reinvestment strategy and highlighted the Company's entry into new digital asset investments (ETH, SOL, TON, and ecosystem projects), inclusion in the ADX FADX 15 Index and MSCI Small Cap Index, along with the collaboration with Tether to develop a UAE dirham-pegged stablecoin.
The AGM agenda included approvals of the Board report, external auditor's report, financial statements, and the appointment of RAI LLP as auditors for FY 2025. No dividends were proposed for the year, which is in line with the company's reinvestment strategy to support continued expansion.
Chairman Al Hosani concluded: 'Phoenix Group is navigating the digital asset space with resilience, innovation, and global ambition. As we move forward, we remain focused on building the future of financial infrastructure from the UAE to the world.'

Electric Vehicle Blaze Forces Evacuation of Cargo Ship Off Alaska
A cargo ship transporting approximately 3,000 vehicles, including 800 electric models, was abandoned in the North Pacific Ocean after a fire erupted on board, compelling all 22 crew members to evacuate. The vessel, identified as the Morning Midas, was en route from Yantai, China, to Lázaro Cárdenas, Mexico, when the incident occurred about 300 miles southwest of Adak Island, Alaska. Smoke was first observed emanating from a deck housing electric vehicles. Despite deploying the ship's CO₂ fire suppression system, the crew was unable to contain the blaze, leading to a complete evacuation via lifeboat. All crew members were safely rescued by the nearby merchant vessel Cosco Hellas. The Morning Midas, a 600-foot-long Pure Car and Truck Carrier built in 2006 and flagged under Liberia, is managed by London-based Zodiac Maritime. The company is coordinating with emergency responders and has dispatched a tugboat to assist with salvage and firefighting operations. The U.S. Coast Guard has also deployed air and sea resources to monitor the situation and support recovery efforts. ADVERTISEMENT The fire's origin remains under investigation, but initial reports suggest it began in the section of the ship carrying electric vehicles. Lithium-ion batteries, commonly used in EVs, are known to pose significant fire risks due to their flammable electrolyte and potential for thermal runaway. Once ignited, these batteries can be challenging to extinguish, often requiring large volumes of water and specialized firefighting techniques. This incident underscores growing concerns within the maritime industry regarding the transportation of electric vehicles. The increasing prevalence of EVs has introduced new safety challenges for cargo ships, particularly concerning fire hazards associated with lithium-ion batteries. Traditional fire suppression systems, like CO₂, may be insufficient to manage such fires, prompting calls for updated safety protocols and equipment. The Morning Midas fire is the latest in a series of maritime incidents involving electric vehicles. In 2022, the Felicity Ace, a cargo ship carrying nearly 4,000 vehicles, including numerous EVs, caught fire in the Atlantic Ocean and eventually sank. Investigations suggested that a lithium-ion battery may have been the fire's source. Similarly, in 2023, the Fremantle Highway experienced a fire off the Dutch coast while transporting 3,783 vehicles, including 498 electric cars. Although the cause was later determined not to be related to the EVs, the incident highlighted the complexities of managing fires on ships carrying such cargo.

UAE Pushes for Trade Deal to Counteract U.S. Metal Tariffs
Arabian Post Staff -Dubai The United Arab Emirates and the United States are preparing to initiate negotiations for a potential bilateral trade agreement aimed at reducing or eliminating tariffs imposed during President Donald Trump's administration on UAE steel and aluminium exports. These tariffs include a baseline 10% duty and a specific 25% tariff on steel and aluminium—which the Trump administration plans to double to 50%. The UAE, whose steel and aluminium are significant non-oil exports and accounted for 8% of U.S. steel and aluminium consumption in 2024, is looking to leverage its history of swiftly concluded trade deals with nations such as India, Turkey, and Australia. While the U.S. may pursue a limited agreement rather than a full free trade pact, it is expected to be labeled a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement , consistent with the UAE's past trade deals. ADVERTISEMENT The UAE, Washington's largest trade partner in the Middle East with $34.4 billion in bilateral trade in 2024, is also a major U.S. investor and security ally, hosting American troops and planning $1.4 trillion in future U.S. investments. Both sides reportedly responded positively to the idea during Trump's recent visit to Abu Dhabi, though a timeline for formal talks remains unclear. The Trump administration's decision to double tariffs on imported steel and aluminium to 50% took effect on June 4, 2025, impacting nearly all trading partners except the United Kingdom, which has a preliminary trade agreement with the U.S. The policy significantly affects major U.S. trading partners like Canada and Mexico, with Canada being the leading exporter of aluminium to the U.S. and both countries ranking high in steel exports. UAE-based steel producers expect to escape major impact from the latest move by the U.S. to double tariffs on steel imports. The new tariffs apply to all trading partners except the UK, which struck a preliminary trade agreement with the U.S. last month. However, steel manufacturers in the UAE don't anticipate a hard hit. The U.S. decision to double steel import tariffs 'may have an indirect effect on market dynamics but is not expected to materially impact Emsteel's business,' said Michael Rion, chief commercial officer at Emirates Steel, part of Abu Dhabi-listed Emsteel Group. The company has a 'modest exposure' to the U.S. market, with exports accounting for less than 2% of total annual sales. The UAE's push for a trade agreement with the U.S. is part of its broader strategy to mitigate the impact of increased tariffs and strengthen economic ties. The potential agreement, discussed during President Trump's visit to Abu Dhabi, seeks to address the challenges posed by the new tariffs and reinforce the economic partnership between the two nations.
