Bitdeer Announces February 2025 Production and Operations Update

 -
SEAL03 sample wafers achieved a power efficiency of 9.7 J/TH at the chip level during chip verification and prototype testing while running at low voltage, ultra power-saving mode

-
Anticipate SEALMINER A3 mass production to commence in the latter half of 2025

SINGAPORE, March 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 February 2025.

Operational Update


 •
Self-mined Bitcoin: 110 bitcoins, down from January 2025 due to less days in February.

•
Mining Rig Manufacturing and R&D:

o
SEALMINER A1:

o
Mass production of approximately 3.7 EH/s of mining rigs is nearly finalized.

o
0.7 EH/s are energized, 0.4 EH/s have been delivered for installation, 0.2 EH/s are in-transit to datacenters, 2.3 EH/s have been produced and ready for shipment and 0.1 EH/s remain in production. We expect to ship all remaining mining machines to mining facilities in March 2025.

o
SEALMINER A2:

o
Production of approximately 35 EH/s are expected to be completed in October 2025, of which 0.6 EH/s have been produced and are ready for shipment. We expect approximately another 1 EH/s to be manufactured in March 2025.

o
Approximately 7 EH/s out of the 35 EH/s of SEALMINER A2s allocated for external sales are expected to begin shipment in March 2025.

o
Recently, certain customers have requested to delay their final payment for SEALMINER A2s due to lower Bitcoin price. Furthermore, they have also requested alternative purchase options for future generations of SEALMINER machines. As such, Bitdeer plans to redirect SEALMINER A2s previously allocated for external sale to self-mining to avoid idle inventory. However, the Company is confident that all 7 EH/s will be sold in the near future.

o
While allowing customers to delay final payment, Bitdeer will retain customers’ down payment on SEALMINER A2s.

o
SEALMINER A3:

o
SEAL03 sample wafers achieved an energy efficiency of 9.7 J/TH at the chip level during chip verification and prototype testing while running at low voltage, ultra power-saving mode.

o
SEALMINER A4:

o
SEAL04 R&D remains on track to achieve an expected chip efficiency of approximately 5 J/TH with anticipated initial tape-out in Q3 2025.

•
HPC/AI:

o
Discussions are ongoing with multiple development partners and potential end users for select large scale sites in U.S. for HPC/AI.

•
Hosting:

o
Client-hosted machines decreased by 17,000 units or 1.7 EH/s in February, due to customers kept disposing their less efficient mining rigs.

•
Infrastructure:

o
Tydal, Norway, 40 MW phase 1 expansion energization application has entered into the fast track for final regulatory approval.

o
Rockdale, Texas, USA, 100 MW hydro-cooling conversion is on track to commence phased energization in March 2025, of which approximately half of the capacity will be used for operating SEALMINER A1 Hydro-cooled machines. As of the date of this report, more than 500 units of  SEALMINER A1 Hydro-cooled machines have already been energized, running stably with very low defective rate and the Company expects more SEALMINER A1 Hydro-cooled and SEALMINER A2 series mining rigs will be delivered to Rockdale, Texas in March 2025.



o
Clarington Phase 2, Ohio, USA, 304 MW is still pending approval and in negotiation with the landlord.

o
Jigmeling, Bhutan, 500 MW construction is on track with the primary substation expected to be completed by the end of March 2025.

•
Share Repurchase:

o
Completed the repurchased approximately US$9 million of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares at the end of February 2025 while the share price dropped significantly.

o
The Company’s board of directors approved a new share repurchase program to repurchase up to additional US$20 million worth of its Class A ordinary shares effective from February 28, 2025 through February 28, 2026.

Management Commentary

We expect nearly all SEALMINER A1s to be energized during March and April 2025. Further, we remain focused on executing our chip roadmap on SEALMINER A2 and SEALMINER A3. We will leverage our massive 2.6 GW power portfolio for HPC/AI. We have advanced discussions with multiple development partners and potential end users for selecting large scale sites in U.S. and hope to provide an update to investors in the coming months.
