In April 2025, Bitdeer (BTDR, Financial) successfully completed energizing two major power capacity projects, one in Tydal, Norway and another in Jigmeling, Bhutan. These expansions added 70 MW and 132 MW, respectively, pushing their global power capacity to nearly 1.1 GW. The company anticipates energizing an additional 473 MW at these sites by the end of June 2025, which will boost their total capacity to 1.6 GW, with over half of this capacity located outside the United States.
This strategic move towards global diversification is already showing benefits, enhancing Bitdeer's operational flexibility amid changing global trade conditions. In the immediate future, the company is focusing on deploying their SEALMINER A2 units in Norway and Bhutan. This deployment is expected to elevate their self-mining hashrate to over 40 EH/s during the year 2025.
Additionally, Bitdeer has decided to temporarily halt Bitcoin mining construction activities at their 570 MW site in Clarington, Ohio. This pause is a strategic decision as the company engages in discussions with potential partners and end users regarding High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) opportunities. Nevertheless, Bitdeer retains the option to reconsider and resume Bitcoin mining development at the site at a future date.
