SINGAPORE, Nov. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ: BTDR) (“Bitdeer” or the “Company”), a world-leading technology company for the cryptocurrency mining community, today announced its unaudited mining and operations updates for October 2023.
Linghui Kong, Chief Executive Officer of Bitdeer, commented, “We continued to maintain a stable hash rate and aggregate electrical capacity during the month of October, and once again demonstrated solid results. On a strategic level, our team remains committed to identifying and pursuing initiatives which can leverage our existing expertise and take our tech capabilities to the next level. In terms of infrastructure, since entering full operations in September, our Gedu Datacenter in Bhutan has continued to function smoothly, augmenting our existing capabilities and contributing to our strong performance. During October, the Gedu Datacenter provided us with 3.3EH/s hash rate, and 211 Bitcoins were mined there, representing approximately 46% of our total Bitcoins mined for the month. Meanwhile, on the expansion front, we advanced construction of a 175MW immersion cooling datacenter at our Tydal, Norway mining facility, which we expect will be complete in 2025. Going forward, we will remain dedicated to pursuing strategic developments which will boost our long-term success, and we are confident that we will build lasting, sustainable value for our shareholders.”
The Company primarily operates three distinct business lines:
- Self-mining refers to cryptocurrency mining for the Company’s own account, which allows it to directly capture the high appreciation potential of cryptocurrency.
- Hash Rate Sharing currently primarily includes Cloud Hash Rate, in which the Company offers hash rate subscription plans and shares mining income with customers under certain arrangements.
- Hosting encompasses a one-stop mining machine hosting solution including deployment, maintenance, and management services for efficient cryptocurrency mining.

1 Total hash rate under management as of October 31, 2023 across the Company’s primary business lines: Self-mining, Cloud Hash Rate, and Hosting.
2 Proprietary hash rate as of October 31, 2023 was 8.7 EH/s, equivalent to proprietary hash rate as of September 30, 2023.
3 Self-owned mining machines are for the Company’s self-mining business and Cloud Hash Rate business.
4 Aggregate electrical capacity remained steady, totaling 895MW across six mining datacenters as of October 31, 2023.
5 Bitcoin mined in October 2023 increased by 173.4% compared to October 2022. Bitcoin mined in October 2023 decreased by 4.1% compared to September 2023, primarily caused by an increase in the Bitcoin network’s total hash rate. The Company generally does not hold cryptocurrencies obtained through its self-mining business, and promptly converts them into fiat currency.
Infrastructure Update
The Company has continued to make progress in the construction of a 175MW immersion cooling datacenter at its mining facility in Tydal, Norway (the “Tydal Datacenter”). The expansion of the Tydal Datacenter is expected to be completed in 2025.
Conference Schedule
The Company will be attending and speaking at Benzinga’s Future of Digital Assets in New York City on November 14, 2023, as well as attending and speaking at the North American Blockchain Summit in Fort Worth, Texas on November 16.
