Abu Dhabi Finance Week 2025 to Return with Expanded Fourth Edition in December
Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Executive Council, Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW) will return for its fourth edition from 8 to 11 December 2025. Organised by the ADGM, the international financial centre of Abu Dhabi, and headlined by ADQ, ADFW is set to expand significantly in scope and scale, with the upcoming edition expected to be twice the size of its predecessor. Centred on the theme 'Engineering the Capital Network', ADFW 2025 will explore the intersection of technological innovation and global finance. The term 'Engineering' reflects the growing application of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing in financial systems, while 'Capital Network' refers to the evolving global capital flows and the increasing significance of the Gulf region as a financial hub. Abu Dhabi, once known primarily as a capital exporter, now plays a broader role in global markets, facilitated by institutional strength and a regulatory framework led by ADGM. Commenting on the event, Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, Chairman of ADGM, said: 'ADFW 2025 is set to be our most ambitious edition of this hugely successful event. With this year's edition to be held at a new location and double in size from last year's ADFW venue, we are setting a new standard for financial gatherings in the region and beyond. This reflects Abu Dhabi's growing influence in global capital markets and our commitment to continue creating a truly international financial platform.' In recent years, ADFW has served as a platform for cross-border announcements, partnerships and institutional expansions. During the 2023 edition, global financial institutions with a combined US$450 billion in assets under management (AUM) announced plans to establish operations in ADGM. This trend continued in 2024, with institutions representing US$650 billion in AUM joining the ADGM ecosystem. ADFW benefits from the support of all three of Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth funds and is backed by more than 50 local and international partners, underscoring its institutional reach. In 2024, ADFW welcomed over 20,000 participants including executives, policymakers and industry leaders, representing institutions managing a total of US$42.5 trillion in assets. The event featured more than 350 sessions across 60 forums, covering a range of topics such as global economic trends, asset management, technology and sustainability. Abu Dhabi continues to play a growing role in shaping the global financial landscape. In 2024, its sovereign wealth funds collectively managed approximately US$1.7 trillion in assets, reinforcing the city's position among the wealthiest globally and supporting its long-term investment capacity.

The holdings—514 BTC and over 630,000 SOL—are Phoenix Group's corporate reserves, accumulated through our self-mining operations and strategic acquisitions.

Q2 2025 Highlights: Strategic Treasury Launch: Became the first-ever ADX-listed company to formalize a digital asset treasury, valued at over $150 million in Bitcoin and Solana. Operational Excellence: $29 million revenue; mined 336 BTC in Q2 with 31% self-mining gross margin and 14% energy cost reduction. Market Performance: Share price surged over 72% from April to June, with momentum continuing to produce 110% gains from the start of April to date. Future Growth Acceleration: Actively expanding its AI/HPC vertical to build 1 Gigawatt of hybrid infrastructure by 2027. Operationally, the company reported $29 million in revenue and mined a total of 336 BTC across its global operations in Q2, including 214 BTC attributed to self-mining. Across the first half of 2025, the Group has mined a cumulative total of 689 BTC. Self-mining Bitcoin revenue surged 219% over two years, rising from $13M in H1 2023 to $41.7M in H1 2025. The company continues to mine profitably, reporting a 31% gross margin on self-mining and a 14% reduction in energy costs, reinforcing its position as one of the most efficient Bitcoin miners globally. A sturdy balance sheet supports the company's market performance. Unlike debt-heavy rivals, Phoenix is almost debt-free at $16 million, enabling pursuits like its treasury and AI expansion. In a major strategic milestone, Phoenix announced the official rollout of its digital asset treasury strategy, making it the first ADX-listed company to do so. The Group's active treasury, valued at over $150 million, mainly consists of Bitcoin and Solana, with 514 BTC and more than 630,000 SOL held as part of its long-term reserve. '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 of Phoenix Group. 'Holding Bitcoin and other strategic digital assets isn't just about exposure. It's about alignment. We believe in the long-term value these networks represent, and our treasury strategy reflects that belief'. Additionally, the quarter saw Phoenix's share price rise by over 72% from April to June, placing it among the top five most traded and best-performing stocks on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange. The momentum has continued into Q3, with gains of 110% to date. The Company also reported a non-cash loss of $29 million, largely due to revaluations in its digital asset portfolio and a one-time depreciation adjustment under revised accounting standards. With recent price recoveries in key holdings such as Solana, Phoenix anticipates a partial rebound in asset valuations in Q3 and beyond. AI & HPC Outlook Looking ahead, Phoenix is accelerating the buildout of its AI and HPC vertical. A feasibility study is currently underway to repurpose part of its U.S. infrastructure into a dedicated multi-use compute facility. In parallel, the Company is actively evaluating several strategic locations globally to identify markets where infrastructure upgrades or redeployments could rapidly expand its AI and HPC footprint. 'We are building toward 1 gigawatt of hybrid infrastructure by 2027, and we see a clear path to get there,' added Ali. 'As we move forward, we see strategic opportunities to consolidate underutilized infrastructure globally. Many smaller operators are stuck with land and power they can't convert into meaningful compute. Phoenix's execution speed and platform model give us a distinct edge to acquire and upgrade these assets for AI ahead of the broader market'. As it enters its next phase of growth, Phoenix Group is focused on delivering capital-efficient expansion, scaling its AI/HPC infrastructure, and further developing its digital asset treasury, all while maintaining its leadership as the largest Bitcoin miner in the MENA region and a global leader in the industry.
