Bitdeer Targets Over 200 MW in AI Data Center Capacity by 2026—Self-Mining Hashrate Jumps to 35 EH/s

Major Expansion in AI Data Centers Signals Strategic Shift

Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ: BTDR) is signaling a sharp strategic pivot: not only is the company accelerating its push into AI data center operations, but it also expects to operate over 200 MW of IT load for AI computing by the end of 2026, with the majority owned in-house. This comes amid ongoing high demand for computing power and a tight global supply.

Several newly energized sites—including a fully completed 175 MW hydro-powered facility in Tydal, Norway, and a 500 MW site in Jigmeling, Bhutan—underline the scale of Bitdeer’s buildout. Meanwhile, confirmation from Clarington, Ohio utilities will see a massive 570 MW online by the end of Q3 2026—nearly a year ahead of prior expectations. This development opens the door for Bitdeer to directly target the rapidly expanding high-performance computing (HPC) and AI markets with advanced data center designs.

Mining Hashrate and SEALMINER Deployment Accelerate Profitability

The operational story is equally compelling. Self-mining hashrate hit 35.0 EH/s in September 2025—up roughly 20% month-on-month—and remains on track for 40 EH/s by October’s end. Bitdeer’s latest SEALMINER A3 models have launched, promising efficiency levels as low as 12.5 J/TH, with mass production underway. Early samples from the next-generation SEAL04 chip are already achieving sub-10 J/TH power efficiency in tests, with even lower targets set for upcoming models.

Importantly, 452 Bitcoins were mined in September, marking a significant increase from both August 2025 and September 2024 figures, driven by higher hashrate and continued deployment of proprietary mining hardware. As legacy third-party rigs are retired, Bitdeer expects fleet efficiency and profitability to climb further.

Infrastructure Pipeline Passes 3 GW With New Sites Across Three Continents

Bitdeer’s rapid pace of expansion is clear in its infrastructure update. Global capacity stands at 2,992 MW (1,571 MW already online, 1,421 MW in development). Recent achievements include the energization of the Niles, Ohio (300 MW pipeline site) and plans to launch new projects in Alberta, Canada, and Ethiopia. In parallel, Bitdeer is already advancing plans for AI-ready infrastructure and acquiring cutting-edge GPUs from NVIDIA, seeking to support an annualized AI revenue run-rate that could exceed $2 billion by late 2026 under favorable scenarios.

AI Revenue Prospects Rise With GPU Deployment and Cloud Expansion

Bitdeer.AI, the group’s emerging cloud division, has already hit an $8 million annualized revenue run-rate for AI cloud services. With 584 GPUs (501 subscribed, ~86% utilization), Bitdeer aims to fully deploy 1,160 GPUs by year-end and is actively pursuing procurement for NVIDIA’s next-gen GB300 and B300 systems. By leveraging flexible, modular infrastructure in both established and new sites, Bitdeer is positioning itself to benefit from long-term tailwinds in AI demand.

Key Takeaways: Momentum Continues Across Mining and AI Verticals

For investors, Bitdeer’s multi-pronged expansion stands out. Self-mining operations are scaling efficiently thanks to homegrown chip innovation and site development, while AI data center ambitions have tangible scale and early revenue momentum. The challenge ahead is execution—on GPU procurement, infrastructure buildout, and sustained demand for both Bitcoin mining and AI services. Yet, with 3 GW of capacity in the pipeline and technical milestones in reach, Bitdeer is emerging as a vertically integrated player across crypto and AI computing.

Upcoming milestones—like AI site conversions, GPU rollouts, and energization of massive Ohio and Norway sites—will be worth watching closely as the competitive landscape continues to evolve.
