In the rapidly evolving landscape of blockchain technology and high-performance computing, Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ: BTDR), a global leader, has announced its operations update for February 2024, marking significant strides in innovation and operational growth.
Highlighting its technological advancements, Bitdeer revealed the successful testing of its first Bitcoin mining chip, the 4nm SEAL01. Linghui Kong, Chief Business Officer, emphasized the chip's outstanding power efficiency at 18.1 J/TH, setting a new standard for sustainable mining. The SEAL01 chip, integral to the new SEALMINER A1 machines, signals Bitdeer's entrance into ASIC production, promising enhanced cost efficiency and supply chain benefits.
February saw Bitdeer mining 287 Bitcoins, a 64.0% increase year-over-year, despite a shorter month and external market pressures. The company also reported growth in its total hash rate and managed mining machines, thanks to the addition of new hosting customers. These achievements underscore Bitdeer's robust operational capabilities and strategic focus on expanding its service offerings.
On the infrastructure front, Bitdeer is progressing with its diversification and expansion plans. Preparations for a 221MW datacenter in Ohio, USA, are underway, with operations expected to start in 2025. Similarly, the construction of a 175MW immersion cooling datacenter in Norway is on track for completion by mid-2025, showcasing Bitdeer's commitment to enhancing its global infrastructure footprint.
Bitdeer operates across three main business lines: self-mining, hash rate sharing, and hosting services, each designed to meet the varied needs of its customers in the cryptocurrency mining domain. With a total hash rate under management of 22.0 EH/s and 222,000 mining machines, Bitdeer is well-positioned to capture the growth opportunities in the blockchain sector.
The company's focus on technological innovation, operational efficiency, and infrastructure expansion is expected to drive continued growth and success. As Bitdeer prepares to present at the 36th Annual Roth Conference in California, stakeholders and investors are keenly watching its next moves in the blockchain and high-performance computing arena.
