Genesis Digital Assets Limited (GDA), recognized as one of the leading Bitcoin mining firms globally in terms of hash rate, has announced its triumph as the recipient of the “ESG Solution of the Year Award” at the 2025 CleanTech Breakthrough Awards. This accolade underscores GDA’s prominent role in pioneering and implementing advanced clean energy solutions within its extensive Bitcoin mining operations.
Highlighting Sustainable Practices in the Clean Technology Sector
The CleanTech Breakthrough Awards celebrate remarkable technology companies, innovations, and products across various fields, including energy, climate technology, waste management, smart grid systems, and artificial intelligence. This year’s event saw an overwhelming number of nominations from companies around the globe, showcasing a competitive landscape and a significant shift towards sustainable technological advancements.
GDA’s Commitment to Sustainable Bitcoin Mining
GDA earned this award due to its dedication to environmentally friendly Bitcoin mining, employing energy solutions that not only lower emissions but also positively impact local communities.

Innovative Initiatives in Sweden
In Sweden, GDA initiated a heat repurposing project in partnership with Muttern Fastigheter, transforming excess heat from its data centers into a resource for local buildings. This project delivers 90,000 cubic meters of warm air per hour, powered by renewable hydroelectric energy. These efforts illustrate how Bitcoin mining can contribute to both environmental preservation and economic sustainability.
