From IPO to Market Triumph

The journey began with an initial public offering price of 1.50 dirhams ($0.41), as detailed in the company’s IPO prospectus. However, the market’s response was swift and significant. The stock opened at 2.25 dirhams ($0.6), a jump of 50% from its IPO value. This surge is a testament to the high investor confidence in Phoenix Group, underscored by the IPO’s impressive oversubscription rates – 180 times by retail investors and 22 times by professional investors, culminating in the sale of 907,323,529 shares for approximately 1.3 billion dirhams ($371 million).

Phoenix Group’s Growth and Sustainability Focus

Phoenix Group’s co-founder and CEO, Bijan Alizadeh, has articulated a clear vision for the company, resting on four foundational pillars: innovation in Bitcoin mining, investment in renewable energy ventures, advanced manufacturing capabilities, and strategic acquisitions. 

Notably, sustainability is a crucial focus for Phoenix, with around 95% of its energy derived from renewable sources, mainly hydropower. This commitment was further reinforced by a significant agreement in August 2023 to establish a $300 million crypto-mining farm in Oman.

Moreover, the company’s maneuvers include partnerships, like the one with the International Holding Company, which acquired a 10% stake in Phoenix Group. This collaboration highlights Phoenix’s growing influence in the region and beyond. In addition, the success of Phoenix Group’s IPO coincides with a broader surge in the crypto market.
