The industry has been apprehensive about the sale, but Bitdeer has assured the stakeholders that the move is an extension of a greater planned expansion.

Full Bitcoin Liquidation and Its Strategic Purpose

Bitdeer started the year with an approximate of 2,000 BTC in its treasury but has progressively decreased its holdings. bringing the figure to about 943 BTC by mid-February

The company finished the final liquidation on the weekend of February 21, 2026, and added 184 BTC mined within the final liquidation to the sale

The present Bitcoin price lies between 65 000-68 000, which is quite a discordant decline in comparison to its all-time highs in October

Even with the loss in value, the move by Bitdeer to sell its holdings is informed by the necessity to obtain the liquidity for its new business frontline, which is AI- and HPC-based and not just the mining of Bitcoin.

Expansion into AI and HPC

The liquidation is an extension of the wider Bitdeer strategy to invest in the AI infrastructure and HPC infrastructure

The company is considering acquisitions and areas where it can host AI-centered endeavors, which is an industry that will yield more returns than Bitcoin mining

The insights in the industry indicate that AI and HPC have the potential to bring much more revenue per megawatt of power than mining, and the profit margins can be up to 80-90

Such a shift corresponds with the overall trend of Bitcoin mining companies moving into more lucrative fields, with Core Scientific and Cipher Mining being examples of that shift, as well as a shift to the focus of AI hosting.

Bitdeer has not been left behind in ensuring that it is a leader in hash rate capacity

The self-operated hash rate of the company has now overtaken Marathon Digital (MARA), making Bitdeer the largest publicly listed Bitcoin miner in terms of self-operated hash rate

Although it sold its Bitcoin assets, Bitdeer is continuing to be one of the leading miners in the industry.

Handling of Mining Setbacks

Although the move towards AI and HPC is certainly a big step, Bitdeer has not had everything its way

A fire in its Bitcoin mining plant in Massillon, Ohio, in November 2025 led to slight delays as two buildings were damaged. Luckily, no one was injured, and the company immediately started to evaluate the damage

The management of Bitdeer, its CEO, Jihan Wu, has also been confident of the further development of the company, highlighting the strength of the company against all odds.

By December 2025, the hash rate capacity of Bitdeer was 71 EH/s, or approximately 6% of the total hash rate in the world

This is a milestone, since the company had experienced an 18% monthly growth and a 229% growth in comparison to the previous year

Nonetheless, with the profitability of mining steadily decreasing, Bitdeer, as well as other publicly traded miners, has been selling the mined Bitcoin to support its AI transition.

The move by Bitdeer to sell all its trove of Bitcoin is a drastic change to its business policy

The shift to AI and HPC with the huge capital support, which is provided with the help of the equity offering and the convertible notes, is a wider tendency of the public miners who want to ensure their profitability in the changing industries

Although the Bitcoin liquidation might have raised some concerns, the leadership at Bitdeer is not scared of its capacity to grow its operations and still have an opportunity to increase its hash rate.
