Arkham Intelligence data drops the mic: UAE-linked Citadel Mining (backed by Abu Dhabi Royal Group via IHC/2PointZero) has mined 6,782 BTC (~454-455M$) since 2022 ops launch—no sales in 4 months, ~344M$ unrealized profit post-energy costs.
The Setup
• 80K sqm Abu Dhabi facility (Al Reem Island) w/ Phoenix Group: Low-cost energy + immersion cooling for efficient hashrate.
• Wallets hold mined BTC long-term as "digital reserves"—4th largest gov holder globally (~6.3-6.8K BTC).
• Royal ties: Sheikh Tahnoon (Abu Dhabi ruler's brother) chairs IHC conglomerate owning 61%+ stake.
