NIP Group joins top 20 global miners as Middle East crypto hub scales

NIP Group (NASDAQ:NIPG) solidified its transition from an esports powerhouse to a global digital infrastructure leader on Thursday, reporting that its Bitcoin mining operations produced 151.4 BTC during its initial three-month operating window.

The output, generated between September and November 2025, is valued at approximately $14.2 million at current market prices.

The company announced that as of January 15, 2026, its installed capacity has reached 9.66 EH/s following the successful integration of Tranche 2 assets.

This milestone positions NIPG among the top 20 U.S.-listed Bitcoin miners by hash rate and confirms its status as the largest disclosed operator in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

The expansion is being executed in phases.

While Tranche 1 utilized a 3.11 EH/s fleet to establish the initial production baseline, the more aggressive Tranche 2 deployment is currently underway.

NIPG expects the remaining batches of this tranche to close before the end of January 2026.

In a move to preserve liquidity, the company is settling the consideration for the remaining Tranche 2 batches via convertible notes.

Upon final completion, NIPG’s total operating capacity is projected to reach 11.3 EH/s, with an estimated monthly production run-rate of approximately 140 BTC.
