SINGAPORE, Sept. 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 August 2023.
Linghui Kong, Chief Executive Officer of Bitdeer, commented, “During August, we continued to deliver on our commitment to diversify and scale our global mining business, as our Gedu Datacenter entered full operations with approximately 30,000 mining machines energized. This represents a major milestone in our infrastructure expansion, boosting our aggregate electrical capacity by 100MW and adding approximately 3.3EH/s to our proprietary hash rate. Our development initiatives are already bearing fruit, as we mined 383 Bitcoins through our self-mining business in August, representing annual and monthly increases of 124.0% and 74.1%, respectively. Meanwhile, we curtailed the power usage at our mining datacenter in Texas to help stabilize Texas’ electric power grid in response to the state’s extreme heat in August, through which we continued to earn power credits. Going forward, we will continue to prudently execute on our operational and infrastructure strategies to generate long-term shareholder value.”
The Company primarily operates three distinct business lines:
Operations Update
Metrics | August 2023 | July 2023 | August 2022 |
Total hash rate under management1 (EH/s) | 21.3 | 20.6 | 12.2 |
- Proprietary hash rate2 | 8.7 | 7.9 | 4.3 |
• Self-mining | 7.2 | 3.8 | 2.5 |
• Cloud Hash Rate | 1.5 | 1.6 | 1.8 |
• Delivered but not yet energized | - | 2.5 | - |
- Hosting | 12.6 | 12.7 | 7.9 |
Mining machines under management | 221,000 | 215,000 | 139,000 |
- Self-owned3 | 92,000 | 85,000 | 55,000 |
- Hosted | 129,000 | 130,000 | 84,000 |
Aggregate electrical capacity4 (MW) | 895 | 795 | 689 |
Bitcoin mined (self-mining only)5 | 383 | 220 | 171 |
1 Total hash rate under management as of August 31, 2023 across the Company’s primary business lines: Self-mining, Cloud Hash Rate and Hosting.
2 Proprietary hash rate as of August 31, 2023 increased by approximately 0.8 EH/s from 7.9 EH/s as of July 31 2023, primarily attributable to the arrival of approximately 7,000 additional mining machines at the Company’s Gedu mining datacenter in Bhutan (the “Gedu Datacenter”). As of the end of August, the Gedu Datacenter’s entire 100MW electrical capacity had been deployed. Approximately 30,000 newly-purchased mining machines at the Gedu Datacenter have been fully energized and are under stable operation, providing a total hash rate of approximately 3.3 EH/s for the Company’s self-mining business.
3 Self-owned mining machines are for the Company’s self-mining business and Cloud Hash Rate business.
4 Aggregate electrical capacity across six mining datacenters increased by 100MW from July 31, 2023, to 895MW as of August 31, 2023.
5 Bitcoin mined in August 2023 increased by 124.0% compared to August 2022. Bitcoin mined in August 2023 increased by 74.1% compared to July 2023, primarily attributable to the energization and full operation of the Gedu Datacenter by the end of August. The Company generally does not hold cryptocurrencies obtained through its self-mining business, and promptly converts them into fiat currency.
Infrastructure Update
The Company’s Gedu Datacenter was energized and became fully operational in August 2023. The Gedu Datacenter contributes an additional 100MW to the Company’s aggregate electrical capacity and supports the operation of approximately 30,000 mining machines that supply approximately 3.3EH/s to the Company’s proprietary hash rate. The Gedu Datacenter is the Company’s first datacenter in Asia and operates at carbon neutrality thanks to Bhutan’s abundant hydroelectric power generation.
