Dubai — November 2, 2025:
UAE-based telecom and digital services provider du has officially entered the cryptocurrency space with the launch of Cloud Miner, a Cloud Mining-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform, marking a regional first for a telecom operator. The unveiling took place through a spectacular laser show at the Burj Khalifa, symbolizing du’s next leap in digital innovation.
A UAE-Exclusive Cloud Mining Service
Available exclusively to UAE residents, du’s Cloud Miner allows users to rent computational power on a subscription basis, enabling them to participate in the cryptocurrency mining process without the need for expensive hardware or technical expertise.
Subscription bidding will be open from November 3 to 9, through du’s Online Auction platform. The service will operate under ‘du Tech’, the company’s innovation sub-brand, and will leverage du’s robust data center capabilities and ICT infrastructure to ensure transparency, efficiency, and sustainability.
Empowering Secure and Accessible Crypto Participation
According to Jasim AlAwadi, Chief ICT Officer at du, Cloud Miner was designed to simplify access to cryptocurrency while maintaining reliability and security standards.
“Our goal is to make digital finance accessible and sustainable. Cloud Miner allows users to participate in crypto mining safely and seamlessly, supported by du’s trusted technology infrastructure,” said AlAwadi.
He emphasized that the initiative reflects du’s commitment to pioneering sustainable crypto innovation and building a secure foundation for the UAE’s digital finance ecosystem.
Simplifying Bitcoin Mining for Everyone
Through Cloud Miner, users can start earning potential Bitcoin rewards immediately after subscribing — without worrying about hardware maintenance, electricity costs, or setup complexity. The model allows participants to enjoy the benefits of blockchain-based mining while du handles all technical operations behind the scenes.
A Step Toward UAE’s Digital Finance Future
The service positions du as a trailblazer in the convergence of telecom and digital finance, supporting the UAE’s broader digital transformation and blockchain strategy.
