SINGAPORE, March 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ: BTDR) (“Bitdeer” or the “Company”), a world-leading technology company for AI and Bitcoin mining infrastructure, today announced its unaudited mining and operations updates for February 2026.
Management Commentary
“Our significant capital investments in late 2025 continues to drive momentum in our self-mining hashrate reaching 68 EH/s in February, 2026, reflecting the continued deployment of SEALMINER rigs coming fully online,” said Matt Kong, Chief Business Officer of Bitdeer. “In parallel, we further strengthened our balance sheet through the successful completion of a $375 million senior convertible note offering, providing the financial flexibility to continue accelerating our AI and colocation strategy, which represents the most significant long-term value creation opportunity in our portfolio. We are advancing active negotiations with prospective colocation clients across our portfolio and remain confident in our ability to execute a significant lease agreement very soon. The combination of a strengthened capital structure and our differentiated 3.0 GW power portfolio positions Bitdeer to move decisively as demand for high-performance computing capacity continues to intensify.”
