Bitdeer Raises $100M for Bitcoin Mining Expansion

Bitdeer is seeking to raise over $100 million from private credit firms to expand its Bitcoin mining operations ahead of Bitcoin halving.

As part of its expansion plans, the well-known cryptocurrency miner Bitdeer Technologies is reportedly aiming to raise more than $100 million from private credit firms, according to people who are directly involved with the situation.

It is three weeks before the imminent Bitcoin halving, which would be a game-changing event for miners, and this new development comes three weeks before that event.

Bitdeer to Ramp Up Bitcoin Mining Capacity

According to the most recent press sources, Bitdeer is now in discussions with its financial advisor to acquire funds to increase its Bitcoin mining operations.

According to a source familiar with the situation, the Bitcoin miner expects to embark on several other endeavors amid this fundraising raise. Despite this, the anonymous sources predicted that the current negotiations will likely change the specifics of these financial agreements.

Since Bitcoin experienced a 64% increase in 2024, several cryptocurrency companies have aggressively sought new money to fuel their expansion goals.

There has been a significant increase in the demand for Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), contributing to the recent boom in the price of Bitcoin.

Several traditional asset managers have jumped on the bandwagon to gain interest from a broader range of investors. Several of the industry’s most prominent businesses, like MicroStrategy and Coinbase, have already begun providing convertible notes.

Bitcoin miners, on the other hand, have been working to investigate many potential opportunities in the equity market. At the management level, the cryptocurrency miner Bitdeer is undergoing several significant changes.

At the beginning of this month, the Bitdeer announced that Jihan Wu would be taking over as the executive leader of the firm. At the beginning of March, Bitdeer (Nasdaq: BTDR) created a splash by announcing its in-house Bitcoin mining processor, the SEAL01.

This processor claims a cutting-edge manufacturing method based on the 4-nanometer (nm) technology revolution. Utilizing its recently built Sealminer A1 units, the publicly traded mining business disclosed on Tuesday that it intends to increase its hash rate by 3.4 EH/s this year.

Bitdeer has expressed its expectation to increase its mining operations by thirty to forty EH/s by 2025. Furthermore, the Bitcoin miner will also be upgrading its seven EH mining machines to more sophisticated ones to enhance its mining capabilities.

The Bitcoin mining facility and data centers that Bitdeer already possesses will be able to accommodate an additional 23 EHs of hashrate as a result.
