What Intelion Mining does

Intelion Mining (legal entity: AO «Intellion Data» / AO «Vychislitelnye Sistemy Intellion») is a Russian industrial-scale cryptocurrency mining operator and equipment distributor founded in 2017 and headquartered in Moscow. The company operates over 300 MW of power capacity across 7 regions of Russia, including data centers co-located at the Tulachermet steel plant in Tula and at a facility in the Murmansk Arctic Zone (launched July 2023), and serves 1,500+ investors and clients. Its product portfolio spans the full mining value chain: ASIC hardware distribution (606 models from Bitmain, MicroBT, Canaan, Goldshell, Innosilicon, Iceriver), 34 pre-configured "ready business" turnkey mining solutions (5–150+ devices for BTC and DOGE+LTC, priced from 2.24M to 147.45M RUB), 9 proprietary containerized mining solutions (Intelion 270/288/352 and ANTSPACE variants), and recurring colocation/hosting services at 12,695–31,600.76 RUB per unit per month.

Intelion monetizes through one-time hardware sales (with volume-tiered pricing), recurring monthly hosting and managed operator services, and professional/regulatory consulting. Distribution is hybrid: a Russian-language e-commerce storefront (intelionmine.ru) and Telegram/WhatsApp bots serve SMBs and individual miners, while direct enterprise sales handle turnkey deployments with leasing options. Emerging revenue streams include GPU/AI compute infrastructure (announced June 2024), IntelionX (Russia's first official digital currency exchange operating within the regulatory perimeter), and crypto-backed lending (Sberbank extended one of Russia's first crypto-collateralized loans to Intelion in December 2024). The company is registered with the Russian Federal Tax Service (FNS) as a mining infrastructure operator and actively participates in drafting mining industry regulations.

Key customer segments are mid-to-large enterprise mining operators seeking turnkey solutions, SMBs and individual investors purchasing 1–40 ASIC units, and emerging AI/HPC clients leveraging Intelion's power infrastructure. Strategic positioning is anchored on capital-intensive infrastructure (300+ MW), regulatory legitimacy, manufacturer-direct supply chains (Bitmain, MicroBT), and first-mover status in Russia's nascent crypto-finance ecosystem, including participation in Sberbank's AI-driven investment and custody tooling roadmap.
