🚨 Bitdeer drops its partner LOI, pivoting to a direct-build AI data-center model.
Pipeline: ~3 GW (Aug 2.69 → +0.30 GW); guides $2 B ARR by end-’26 on 200 MW AI conversion; adds 300 MW Niles, OH and new Southeast Asia sites now “under negotiation.” Says “actively recruiting U.S. in-house experts” ahead of Jihan Wu’s rare U.S. visit for Cantor Miami (Nov 10–12).
Self-mining hashrate: +20% m/m → 35 EH/s; still targeting 40 EH/s this month, while most AI-pivoting miners are flat or shrinking.
SEAL04 chips: taped out and testing at sub-10 J/TH) + A3 miners (12.5–14 J/TH) + NVDA GPU buys give Bitdeer a credible path to a vertically integrated compute factory, one that can toggle between Bitcoin & AI workloads as economics dictate.
We’ve been buyers: hash growth, silicon execution, and a serious AI pivot.
