Genesis Digital Assets Limited (“GDA”), one of the largest Bitcoin mining companies in the world in terms of hash rate, has been recognized for its commitment to sustainable Bitcoin mining through energy solutions that reduce emissions and benefit local communities.

• GDA was awarded the “ESG Solution of the Year Award” by the 2025 CleanTech Breakthrough Awards, a prestigious program that recognizes outstanding technology companies, solutions, and products in various categories spanning energy, climate technology, and more.
• This year’s program received thousands of nominations from companies worldwide, reflecting both the highly competitive field and the global momentum toward sustainable innovation.

This recognition highlights GDA’s industry leadership in creating and integrating innovative clean energy solutions into its global Bitcoin mining operations. In Argentina, its partnership with YPF Luz repurposes stranded gas, a byproduct of oil extraction that would otherwise be flared, to generate electricity that powers 1,200 Bitcoin mining machines, cutting methane emissions while optimizing energy use. The partnership demonstrates how Bitcoin mining can drive both environmental and economic sustainability. GDA’s commitment to sustainability is further reflected in its launch of a heat repurposing initiative with Muttern Fastigheter in Sweden, where excess heat from its data centers is used to warm local buildings, supplied by renewable hydroelectric energy. These initiatives showcase the potential for Bitcoin mining to balance environmental concerns with economic viability.
“Gaming the system,” says Abdumalik Mirakhmedov, Executive President of GDA, “is a misnomer when it comes to Bitcoin mining. At GDA, we are proving that profitability and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand. By leveraging innovative energy solutions and strong partnerships, we are reframing Bitcoin mining as a force for good.”
GDA integrates hydroelectric, wind, solar, and waste energy sources to power its operations, with a total energy capacity exceeding 600 MW across 20 industrial-scale data centers on four continents.

GDA is one of the world’s largest and most experienced industrial-scale Bitcoin mining companies, with a track record of building, managing, and scaling data center operations spanning nearly a decade. The company champions innovation, responsible energy use, and investment in the communities where it operates globally.

• With over 150,000 miners online, GDA has brought significant growth and opportunities to the Bitcoin mining industry.
• The company was named to Fast Company’s 2024 list of the Next Big Things in Tech in the fintech and blockchain category.

The CleanTech Breakthrough Awards program is devoted to honoring excellence in energy, climate and clean technologies, services, companies and products around the world. The program provides public recognition for the achievements of clean technology companies and products in various categories.
