BitX Enters Africa via Ethiopia in Major AI-Driven Mining Deal
BitX, a global mining company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Ethiopia Mining Farm, paving the way for cutting-edge AI-powered mining infrastructure in Ethiopia, according to Street Insider.
The agreement marks a significant milestone in BitX’s African expansion, introducing its flagship Bit-X V2 Accelerator into local mining operations. This AI-driven technology is designed to double mining efficiency without the need for hardware upgrades, offering a more sustainable and cost-effective approach to Bitcoin mining. Ethiopia is seen as a high-potential hub, thanks to its largely untapped energy reserves and increasing momentum in digital transformation.
BitX’s CEO highlighted that the partnership goes beyond efficiency—it aims to foster a more inclusive and decentralized Web3.0 mining model, where access and fairness are prioritized. Ethiopia Mining Farm officials echoed this vision, stating that the integration of BitX’s accelerator will significantly enhance their operational performance and global competitiveness.
According to the MoU, BitX plans to roll out its technology across 20,000 mining machines in Ethiopia by the end of 2025, with ambitions to expand across other African markets. A key part of this initiative is BitX’s Shared Accelerator Program, which allows global participants to invest in decentralized mining via AI-powered contracts, starting at just $100—making it accessible to a broad base of investors, including Ethiopians.
Unlike traditional mining models that depend heavily on hardware or low-cost electricity, BitX’s approach focuses on software optimization and energy efficiency, enabling emerging economies like Ethiopia to participate in the global Bitcoin mining economy without massive capital requirements.
With a proven track record in North America and Central Asia, BitX’s move into Ethiopia underscores a growing shift in global mining strategy, one that champions decentralization, smart technology, and environmental consciousness.
