Phoenix Group, the first UAE-listed Bitcoin (BTC) mining company (ADX: PHX), posted a 43% decline in quarterly revenue compared to last year and reported a $29.2 million net loss, even as it expanded its digital asset holdings and maintained profitable operations across its global facilities.
Phoenix Group Reports Q2 Revenue Decline and Nearly $30 Million Net Loss
The company reported $29.1 million in revenue for the three months ended June 30, down from $51.2 million in the same period last year. The quarterly net loss of $29.2 million contrasted sharply with a $56.1 million profit in Q2 2024, highlighting the challenges facing cryptocurrency miners amid volatile digital asset markets.
Phoenix's six-month net loss reached $182.8 million, compared to a $122.3 million profit in the first half of 2024. The losses were primarily driven by unrealized losses on digital asset holdings totaling $166.1 million during the first six months of the year.
However, Phoenix managed to increase its Bitcoin mining output and establish what it calls the first formal digital asset treasury among companies listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange.
Phoenix mined 336 Bitcoin during the second quarter, including revenue-generating activities that produced $21.1 million compared to $28.5 million in Q2 2024. The company's self-mining operations generated 214 Bitcoin during the quarter, contributing to a cumulative 689 Bitcoin mined in the first half of 2025 (437 BTC self-mined).
Digital Asset Treasury Takes Shape
The company's most notable development involved formalizing a digital asset treasury valued at over $150 million, primarily consisting of Bitcoin and Solana tokens. Phoenix now holds 517 Bitcoin and more than 610,000 Solana tokens as part of its long-term reserves, making it the first ADX-listed entity to adopt such a strategy.
"Phoenix has always been more than just a mining company. We're a conviction-led digital infrastructure group," said Munaf Ali, CEO and Co-Founder. "Holding Bitcoin and other strategic digital assets isn't just about exposure. It's about alignment."
The treasury strategy comes as Phoenix maintains relatively low debt levels of $28.1 million compared to many competitors in the mining sector. This balance sheet position has enabled the company to pursue expansion opportunities without the leverage constraints facing other operators.
Quarterly Performance Mixed
Despite revenue declines, Phoenix reported improved operational metrics in key areas. The company achieved a 31% gross margin on self-mining operations and reduced energy costs by 14% compared to previous periods. However, the quarter included a $29.2 million loss for the three-month period, largely attributed to digital asset revaluations and accounting adjustments.
When compared to the first quarter of 2025, Phoenix showed modest improvement. Q1 revenue totaled $31.3 million, meaning the second quarter represented a 7% decline quarter-over-quarter. The company's Q1 loss was significantly larger at $153.6 million, primarily due to digital asset writedowns during that period.
Equipment sales and hosting services contributed $8.1 million to Q2 revenue, down from $22.7 million in the prior year quarter. The decline reflects broader industry challenges as mining equipment demand fluctuated with Bitcoin price movements throughout 2024 and early 2025.
Key Financial Data Table: Phoenix Group Q2 2025 Performance
Share Performance and Market Position
Phoenix's stock price rose 72% between April and June, making it one of the most actively traded securities on the Abu Dhabi exchange. The rally extended into July, with the company reporting a 110% increase since early April.
The recent gains have coincided with a broader surge in cryptocurrencies and a new all-time high for Bitcoin above $120,000, highlighting the direct correlation between Phoenix's valuation, like that of other Bitcoin miners, and momentum in digital assets.
The price increase helped Phoenix shed its penny-stock status, with shares trading at AED 1.49 on Thursday after a 3.25% drop. Despite the recent appreciation, the stock remains down more than 40% from its post-IPO peak.
The company is also exploring a potential listing in the United States and continues to scale its Bitcoin mining operations in North America.
AI Infrastructure Expansion
Looking beyond traditional cryptocurrency mining, Phoenix is conducting feasibility studies to convert portions of its U.S. infrastructure for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing applications. The company targets building 1 gigawatt of hybrid infrastructure by 2027.
"We see strategic opportunities to consolidate underutilized infrastructure globally," Ali explained. "Many smaller operators are stuck with land and power they can't convert into meaningful compute."
Phoenix maintains its position as the largest Bitcoin miner in the Middle East and North Africa region, though global competition has intensified.
