du has celebrated the strong market response to its Cloud Miner service — the region’s first Cloud Mining-as-a-Service (MaaS) offering under its sub-brand du Tech — with a ceremony held at its headquarters to mark continued collaboration with Online Auction.
The event welcomed Majid Mustafa Ahli, CEO of Online Auction, who joined Jasim Al Awadi, Chief ICT Officer at du, to highlight the success of the inaugural Cloud Miner auction, which saw exceptionally high participation from crypto-interested residents across the UAE.
Building on this momentum, du announced its second Cloud Miner auction, hosted exclusively on Online Auction. Running for six days from 23 November, the auction will release additional compute capacity bundled as:
- 1 bundle of 6 contracts totaling 1500 TH/s
- 2 bundles of 4 contracts each totaling 1000 TH/s
- 5 bundles of 2 contracts each totaling 500 TH/s
Jasim Al Awadi said the strong uptake demonstrates a growing appetite for secure, transparent and locally hosted cloud mining options. Online Auction CEO Majid Mustafa Ahli added that the first auction exceeded expectations, proving the strength of the partnership and the market’s readiness for new forms of digital investment.
Cloud Miner remains the UAE’s first telco-backed cloud mining service, enabling users to participate in Bitcoin mining without owning hardware or managing electricity and maintenance. Through du Tech’s secure data centers, subscribers can begin mining immediately after activation, supported by UAE Pass verification, KYC/AML protocols and multi-layer authentication.
