BTDR Bitdeer Technologies Group

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 December 2024.

Operational Update

• Self-mined Bitcoin: 145 Bitcoins.
• Mining Rig Manufacturing and R&D:
  • SEALMINER A1: Mass production of approximately 3.7 EH/s of mining rigs remains on track with 0.3 EH/s powered on, 0.3 EH/s delivered for installation, 0.6 EH/s in-transit to data centers and 2.5 EH/s in production.
  • SEALMINER A2:
    • Production of approximately 35 EH/s of mining rigs through Q3 2025 remains on track. First trial batch of Air cooling rigs are expected to be delivered to our mining datacenters for testing in January 2025.
    • ~29,000 units (~7 EH/s out of the 35 EH/s) of SEALMINER A2s allocated for external sale (both Air cooling and Hydro cooling), have been ordered by customers, including the full receipt of related down payments from customers. These mining rigs are expected to begin shipment in March through Q2 2025.
  • SEALMINER A3:
    • SEAL03 initial tape-out sample wafers with an expected chip efficiency of 10 J/TH are expected in Q1 2025.
  • SEALMINER A4:
    • SEAL04 R&D remains on track to achieve industry leading efficiency of 5 J/TH with anticipated initial tape-out in Q3 2025.
• HPC/AI:
  • Discussions are ongoing with multiple development partners and potential end users for selected sites.
  • Bitdeer AI cloud services powered by NVIDIA DGX SuperPod with H100 systems maintained an average utilization rate of approximately 90% for the month.
  • Co-hosted VLM Bootcamp with NVIDIA for participants to explore and create with VLM via Bitdeer AI Studio.
• Hosting:
  • Client-hosted machines decreased by 2,000 units while overall hashrate increased by 0.8 EH/s due to higher efficiency machines hosted by clients.
• Infrastructure:
  • Tydal, Norway, 40 MW phase 1 expansion has completed installation of transformers, with delivery and installation of electrical equipment currently in progress. The energization is currently pending for regulatory approval.
  • Rockdale, Texas, USA, 100 MW hydro-cooling conversion is on track for phased completion during Q1 2025.
  • Jigmeling, Bhutan, 500 MW construction is on track with the primary substation expected to be completed by Q1 2025.
  • Massillon, Ohio, USA, 221 MW substation construction started and is expected to be completed in Q3 2025. Building design is completed and construction is underway, expected to be completed in phases between Q3 and Q4 2025.
  • 1.1 GW of new power capacity is on track to come online in 2025.
• Financing:
  • Full repayment of the outstanding principal balance of US$10 million of the senior secured notes issued to sellers in the previously announced acquisition of TROLL HOUSING AS and TYDAL DATA CENTER AS.

Management Commentary

“2025 is poised to be a transformative year for Bitdeer, marked by many exciting milestones,” stated Linghui Kong, Chief Business Officer of Bitdeer. “With the mass production of our SEALMINER A1 and A2 well underway, we are set to significantly expand our self-mining hashrate and commence miner sales to third party customers. Looking ahead, the planned releases of SEALMINER A3 and A4 in 2025 further strengthen our position to become an industry leading supplier in the multi-billion dollar ASICs market. Further, we are on track to energize over 1.1 GW of our 2.5 GW power portfolio over the next twelve months. Sustaining this momentum across multiple initiatives is a testament to our team’s dedication and belief in our mission. As we move into 2025, we are eager to solidify Bitdeer’s position as a leader in the crypto industry as well as the broader technology sector.”

1 Total hash rate under management as of December 31, 2024 across the Company’s three primary business lines: Self-mining, Cloud Hash Rate, and Hosting.

• Self-mining refers to cryptocurrency mining for the Company’s own account, which allows it to directly capture the high appreciation potential of cryptocurrency.
• Cloud Hash Rate offers hash rate subscription plans and shares mining income with customers under certain arrangements. The Cloud Hash Rate stated above reflects the contracted hash rate with customers at month-end. However, throughout the month, the Cloud Hash Rate may transition to Self-mining hash rate if customers opt to not make their monthly electricity payments for various reasons.
• Hosting encompasses a one-stop mining machine hosting solution including deployment, maintenance, and management services for efficient cryptocurrency mining.

2 Self-owned mining machines are for the Company’s self-mining business and Cloud Hash Rate business.3 Bitcoins held do not include the Bitcoins from deposits of the customers.
