Insights
Bitdeer shows robust operational growth with increased hashrate, Bitcoin production, and equipment sales while expanding infrastructure and diversifying into AI.
Bitdeer delivered strong operational growth in May 2025, with self-mined Bitcoin increasing
The company is executing effectively on multiple fronts. Their SEALMINER A2 manufacturing progressed significantly with 9.0 EH/s of rigs manufactured and 1.5 EH/s in final assembly. More importantly, Bitdeer successfully sold and shipped 1.6 EH/s to external customers in May alone, demonstrating strong commercial traction for their mining equipment business.
The R&D pipeline appears robust with SEALMINER A3 testing meeting expectations (available for pre-order in June) and the A4 development progressing toward a 5 J/TH efficiency target - a metric that would position their technology competitively against industry alternatives.
Financially, Tether's warrant exercise provided
Infrastructure development continues at pace across multiple global locations, with their total electrical capacity reaching 1,098 MW online and 1,592 MW in the pipeline. The company's strategic expansion into AI cloud services, while still early-stage, shows foresight in diversifying beyond pure Bitcoin mining into adjacent high-growth computing markets.
