Interhash Acquires Controlling Stake in Neopool

Interhash has acquired a controlling stake in Neopool, a Bitcoin mining pool. The deal was closed during the Bitcoin MENA 2025 conference.

Neopool, launched earlier this year, has entered the top 15 global mining pools and ranks first worldwide in Daily PPS efficiency, according to miningpoolstats.stream.

Alexander Lozben, CEO of Interhash, said the company sees strong potential in Neopool and views mining pools as an undervalued part of the Bitcoin ecosystem, in a note shared with Bitcoin Magazine.

Interhash develops solutions for crypto mining and high-performance computing, focusing on sustainable infrastructure.

Neopool CEO Andrei Kapeikin said the investment provides a strategic partner to support scaling and improve mining efficiency for operations ranging from private farms to industrial-scale facilities.

Neopool has a top-15 global ranking and the highest Daily PPS efficiency, built by a team with over 100 years of combined mining and IT experience.

Earlier this month, Neopool reported record payouts of 169 BTC (around $15 million) to its miners in November 2025, reflecting rapid growth since its launch earlier this year. Ranked by miningpoolstats.stream as the most efficient pool globally, Neopool credits its performance to proprietary optimization technology, low-latency global routing, and transparent FPPS payouts with daily settlements. 

CEO Andrei Kapeikin said that technical excellence and transparency, rather than just hash rate volume, drive miner value.

The Cipher Brief's Special Report on Nat Sec EDGE 2025

The Nat Sec EDGE 2025 conference took place June 5–6, 2025 in Austin, Texas.

Foreword

The 2025 Nat Sec EDGE Conference brought together a diverse coalition of leaders from government, industry, investment, and innovation to confront a shared reality: America’s national security advantage is eroding-and our ability to adapt at speed will determine the outcome of future conflicts.

Across two days of discussions, senior officials, technologists, operators, and investors delivered a clear message: the U.S. is engaged in an unprecedented strategic competition with near-peer adversaries who are moving faster, with fewer constraints, in an effort to achieve dominance in emerging domains. While the U.S. still holds an innovation edge, our traditional systems for acquisition, classification, and risk management are too slow, too fragmented, and too siloed to respond to the velocity of today’s threats.

What emerged from this gathering in Austin, TX was not just urgency-but clarity. The U.S. needs a new model for national security innovation-one built around speed, trust, integration, and mission-first execution. This means enabling “new primes” that can move at the pace of technology, equipping the defense industrial base with secure pathways to scale, and empowering operators and decision-makers with the tools to bridge policy, procurement, and operational need.

It also means recognizing that the problem is no longer technological- it’s sociological. The innovation exists. The capital exists. The threat is clear. What’s missing are the connective tissues: the incentives, partnerships, and trust frameworks that can accelerate solutions from concept to deployment.

This report captures the most critical messages and moments from Nat Sec EDGE. It is intended as both a record and a roadmap-for those shaping the future of American security.
