Fast facts

  • Bitdeer went public through a merger with Blue Safari Group Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), with a valuation of US$1.18 billion.
  • In its latest earnings report on Thursday, Bitdeer reported a net loss of US$60.4 million in 2022, compared to a net profit of US$82.6 million in the prior year.
  • The company booked US$333.3 million in revenue, down 15.6% on year due to a drop in income from its main mining operations and sales of mining machines.

  • “Despite the volatility in cryptocurrency prices and temporary dislocation in the crypto industry, we bucked the trend and achieved a positive adjusted net profit and a positive adjusted EBITDA in the full year of 2022, thus demonstrating the viability and resilience of our business model,” Linghui Kong, chief executive officer of Bitdeer, said in the report.
  • Kong added that Bitdeer plans to increase the 775 megawatts in electricity capacity achieved in 2022 to as much as 1,524 megawatts. He did not give a timeline for the expansion.
