Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ: BTDR) (“Bitdeer” or the “Company”), a world-leading technology company for blockchain and high-performance computing, today announced its unaudited mining and operations updates for July 2024.

Operational Highlights

  • Self-mined Bitcoin: Mined 181 Bitcoins.
  • Mining Rigs R&D:
    • Mass production is on track for SEAL01 chips and SEALMINER A1 series mining rigs, including both air cooling and hydro cooling.
    • Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC)’s delivery of SEAL02 initial tape-out wafers is anticipated for late September 2024. If the testing is successful, mass production is scheduled to commence by the end of 2024.
    • R&D of SEAL03, our third-generation chip, is ongoing.
  • HPC/AI:
    • AI cloud services powered by NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD with H100 system reached 100% utilization during the month of July. We will expand our AI cloud operation carefully to capture the opportunities while avoiding over investment.
    • Engaged with TLM Group, a leading consultant in HPC/AI datacenter engineering and construction, to conduct comprehensive research on Bitdeer’s sites and advise on a broader datacenter strategy, including co-location, joint-ventures and other monetization options.
  • Mining datacenters
    • Tydal, Norway phase 1 and phase 2 site expansions remain on track to energize 40 MW in Q4 2024 and 135 MW by mid-2025.
    • Bhutan Jigmeling 500MW substation is expected to be completed by Q1 2025.
    • We commenced upgrading a portion of the Rockdale, Texas mining datacenter into hydro cooling, which we expect to be complete in Q4 2024. We believe such investment will not only benefit our Bitcoin mining business but also can be used for HPC/AI infrastructure in the future.
    • Ohio Edison 221MW project is in the design and long lead time equipment procurement stage.
    • Planning to deploy 3.4 EH/s of first generation Bitdeer SEALMINERs into Texas, U.S.A. and Tydal, Norway sites in Q4 2024, bringing total proprietary hashrate to 11.8 EH/s.

Management Commentary

“In July, we continued to advance our strategic initiatives in Bitcoin mining and HPC/AI,” stated Linghui Kong, Chief Business Officer of Bitdeer. “Our first-generation SEALMINERs, energized last month, have been performing within our expectations and we remain on track to energize 3.4 EH/s by year end, bringing our total proprietary hashrate to 11.8 EH/s. For our second-generation chip, SEAL02, initial tape-out wafer delivery from TSMC remains on track for late September. Upon successful testing, we anticipate ramping mass production by the end of the year.”

Mr. Kong continued, “Building on our existing AI Cloud Services powered by NVIDIA GDX SuperPODs, in July, we engaged a leading consultant in HPC/AI datacenter engineering and construction, TLM Group, to conduct a comprehensive due diligence on all of our sites worldwide and to advise us on our global HPC/AI strategy. This assessment will determine the best monetization options of our massive 2.5 GW global power portfolio for HPC and AI applications.”

Production and Operations Summary

1 Total hash rate under management as of July 31, 2024 across the Company’s three primary business lines: Self-mining, Cloud Hash Rate, and Hosting.

  • Self-mining refers to cryptocurrency mining for the Company’s own account, which allows it to directly capture the high appreciation potential of cryptocurrency.
  • Cloud Hash Rate offers hash rate subscription plans and shares mining income with customers under certain arrangements. The Cloud Hash Rate stated above reflects the contracted hash rate with customers at month-end. However, throughout the month, the Cloud Hash Rate may transition to Self-mining hash rate if customers opt to not make their monthly electricity payments for various reasons.
  • Hosting encompasses a one-stop mining machine hosting solution including deployment, maintenance, and management services for efficient cryptocurrency mining.

2 Self-owned mining machines are for the Company’s self-mining business and Cloud Hash Rate business.
