Mining facility operator Enegix will be building one of the biggest Bitcoin (BTC) mining farms in the world in Kazakhstan, according to a CoinDesk report published on August 21.

• Enegix will open a 180 megawatt data center for mining pools in September 2020
• The farm will be located in the city of Ekibastuz and can accommodate up to 50,000 mining rigs
• If only top of the line mining hardware were used for the full setup i.e. Bitmain's AntMiner S19 series or MicroBT’s WhatsMiner M30, that would give the farm about 4% of Bitcoin’s hashrate
• Construction has cost $23 million, but will benefit the local economy, including by hiring up to 160 people in various roles
• Kazakhstan has been implementing crypto-friendly regulations in a bid to attract investment and businesses
• The country is ranked 4th in terms of hashrate distribution with 6.17% of the network, according to the University of Cambridge
