Crypto mining firm Bitdeer Technologies ($BTDR) saw its stock price surge nearly 30% to an all-time high of 27$ on Wednesday, fueled by record Bitcoin mining output and ambitious plans to become a major player in AI data centers. The rally reinforces strong bullish sentiment across the entire publicly listed mining sector, whose combined market capitalization now exceeds $\text{\$}90$ billion.
Record Mining Efficiency and Output
Bitdeer reported hitting new records in its mining operations:
- Output: Mined 452 BTC in September, a $\text{20.5%}$ increase month-over-month.
- Hashrate Growth: Deployed self-mining hashrate reached 35 Exahashes per second (EH/s), with a target of 40 EH/s by the end of October.
- Hardware Edge: These gains are attributed to the rollout of new SEALMINER A2 and A3 rigs, which boast industry-leading efficiency below 10 joules per terahash ($\text{J/TH}$).
The AI Diversification Engine
The company is aggressively diversifying to balance the cyclical nature of crypto mining with the steady demand for AI services.
- AI Capacity: Bitdeer plans to dedicate over 200 megawatts (MW) of capacity to AI computing by 2026.
- Revenue Projection: In an optimistic scenario, this AI expansion could generate over $\text{\$2}$ billion in annual AI-related revenue.
- Vertical Integration: The company's vertically integrated model—spanning ASIC design, self-mining, and AI infrastructure—positions it as a comprehensive blockchain computing provider. Its current AI cloud service already generates about $\text{\$8}$ million in recurring revenue.
Bullish Analyst Sentiment and Sector-Wide Rally
Bitdeer's "dual-engine model" combining efficient mining with AI expansion has ignited strong investor confidence.
- Analyst Upgrades: Firms like Cantor Fitzgerald and Roth Capital have set bullish price targets of $\text{\$50}$ and $\text{\$40}$, respectively.
- Broader Sector Rally: The optimism has lifted the entire mining sector, with Marathon Digital, Riot Platforms, and CleanSpark all posting significant gains.
Despite Bitcoin's network difficulty soaring, institutional capital is flowing into these diversified digital infrastructure equities, positioning the mining sector for a new era of growth driven by scale and strategic diversification.
