Phoenix Group Hits Pause: Bitcoin Mining Firm Delays Share Listing

Cryptocurrency mining company Phoenix Group is gearing up for its public trading launch after experiencing significant oversubscription in the pre-market sale on Nov. 21.

But now, it looks like the­re’s going to be a delay. Phoe­nix Group has moved the date of the­ir initial public offering (IPO) on the Abu Dhabi Securitie­s Exchange (ADX). It’s pushed back.

In an announcement on Nov. 28, the crypto mining firm revealed that it anticipates listing its shares on Dec. 5 instead of Dec. 4, 2023. However, this adjustment is attributed to the public holidays declared for the United Arab Emirates National Day.

The UAE National Day was celebrated on Dec. 2, marking the formation of the UAE. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization designates December 2, 3, and 4 as public holidays for the private sector.

Additionally, the announcement emphasizes that “to honor this occasion and ensure comprehensive participation in the IPO, Phoenix Group has rescheduled its listing date to Dec. 5, 2023.”
