Bethesda, Maryland — September 29, 2025 — Sazmining, the pioneer in Bitcoin Mining as a Service (BMaaS), today announced the opening of its newest data center in Ethiopia. Powered by 100% hydropower from the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), this launch marks Sazmining’s entry into Africa, expanding operations across four continents.
Clients purchasing rigs at the Ethiopia site will be hashing within just 7 days, giving customers fast, reliable access to mining sats directly from the Bitcoin network. The facility will also create sustainable jobs and attract new industries to Ethiopia, combining Bitcoin’s global reach with the country’s abundant renewable energy resources.
“Our Ethiopia expansion is another natural step in validating our disruptive Mining-as-a-Service model,” said Kent Halliburton, CEO and Co-Founder of Sazmining. “By tapping GERD’s hydropower, we’re delivering one of the strongest deals in Bitcoin mining while helping grow local industry in Africa — all while staying fully aligned with our customers.”
Lowering the Cost to Mine Bitcoin
By harnessing 100% renewable hydropower at just $0.056/kWh, Sazmining’s Ethiopia data center cuts the energy cost of mining Bitcoin to approximately $50,000.
This combination of hyper-efficient rigs and low-cost electricity provides clients with one of the most competitive entry points in the industry, allowing them to mine Bitcoin directly at cost while avoiding the premiums and restrictions associated with exchanges.
“Our mission has always been to align with Bitcoiners,” said Halliburton. “By continually lowering the cost to mine, we’re enabling everyday people — not just institutions — to strengthen Bitcoin’s resilience and keep freedom in their own hands.”
A Year of Breakthroughs
The Ethiopia launch follows a series of announcements that have positioned Sazmining as one of the most transparent and customer-aligned operators, disrupting the traditional hosting industry.
- Integration with OCEAN Mining Pool — Earlier this month, Sazmining became the first provider to integrate with OCEAN and utilize a revenue share model. Backed by Jack Dorsey, OCEAN is an innovative pool designed to empower miners through direct payouts and transparent block template construction, providing clients with unprecedented visibility and furthering Bitcoin’s decentralization.
- Annual Rig Performance Guarantee — With its industry-first guarantee, Sazmining ties rig performance to nameplate hashrate. This unique alignment of incentives yields stronger, more reliable results for customers, with rig performance adapting naturally as conditions change, while still outperforming traditional hosting models.
- Crowdfunding Momentum — Sazmining’s Timestamp equity crowdfunding campaign is building momentum, having already raised over $216,000 toward its $618,000 target. The campaign invites Bitcoiners worldwide to join this growth phase and its mission to make mining accessible to everyone. Visit bit.ly/sazraise to participate.
