Largest US Bitcoin miner dumps entire BTC stash as margin pressure intensifies

CryptoSlate
Bitdeer, the largest US Bitcoin miner, sold its entire Bitcoin reserve of approximately 1,132.9 BTC to bolster liquidity amid intensifying margin pressures and fund expansion.

Summary

Bitdeer, the largest Bitcoin mining company by hashrate, has liquidated its entire Bitcoin treasury, converting approximately $68 to $79 million into operating liquidity. This move comes as the company faces margin pressure due to declining hashprice and increased difficulty, and simultaneously raised $325 million through convertible notes and a registered direct offering to fund datacenter expansion, HPC, AI, and ASIC development. The sale of its 1,132.9 BTC stash—943.1 from reserves and 189.8 newly mined—signals a shift towards prioritizing controlled funding channels and viewing Bitcoin as throughput rather than a strategic reserve. Industry analysts suggest this could be a sign of capitulation and anticipate potential consolidation within the mining sector as companies adapt to a changing landscape where miners increasingly present themselves as energy and compute businesses, diversifying into AI and HPC alongside Bitcoin mining.
