Bitdeer Technologies, a Bitcoin mining firm based in Singapore, is gearing up to raise $330 million through a fresh offering of senior convertible notes maturing in 2031.
The funding will support expansion of its data centers and the advancement of its mining hardware, particularly ASIC technology.
A portion of the proceeds—$130 million—will go toward a zero-strike call option, while $36 million is set aside for settling previous debt agreements. The remainder will be invested directly into scaling the company’s operations. This follows a similar $150 million financing round completed in August 2024.
Despite the announcement, Bitdeer’s stock dropped by over 7%, continuing its downward trend—down nearly 46% for the year. The company’s Q1 2025 earnings showed a 41% revenue decline and an operating loss of $3.2 million, though net income exceeded $400 million due to gains linked to convertible securities and warrants issued to Tether.
Bitdeer’s move reflects a larger wave of fundraising among mining firms in 2025. Riot Platforms expanded its credit line with Coinbase to $200 million, while Auradine raised $153 million in Series C funding. CleanSpark also secured a $200 million facility through Coinbase Prime.
As the global Bitcoin hashrate rises, mining operations are facing growing pressure to upgrade infrastructure, improve efficiency, and remain competitive in an increasingly institutionalized sector.
Large institutions accelerated their retreat from equities last month, unloading roughly $50.8 billion in U.S. shares, according to S&P Global.
China’s biggest crypto hardware manufacturers are redrawing their maps. Faced with mounting U.S. tariffs on tech imports, Bitmain, Canaan, and MicroBT — firms that collectively dominate over 90% of the global bitcoin mining rig market — are moving parts of their production to the United States.
Institutional traders on Deribit and Crypto.com can now post BlackRock’s tokenized U.S. Treasury fund, BUIDL, as margin—an industry first for a low-volatility, yield-bearing digital security.
Tech shares still have plenty of room to run, argues Wedbush Securities research chief Dan Ives.
