Bitcoin miner Bitdeer (NASDAQ: BTDR) has deployed 65.1 EH/s of its proprietary SEALMINER ASIC miner since launching the model, and it has taped out its first ASIC chip for dogecoin and litecoin mining, according to Bitdeer’s January 2026 operations update.
The SEALMINER A2 makes up the bulk of Bitdeer’s ASIC manufacturing, with the bitcoin miner having produced 44 EH/s worth of the SEALMINER A2 since inception. Its latest model, the SEALMINER A3, has seen 8.7 EH/s of production, with another 0.4 EH/s in transit and 3.8 EH/s in assembly.
Bitdeer plans to use its SEALMINER to phase out older, third party ASIC miners in its 63.2 EH/s self-mining fleet, while selling the remainder on the open market.
Over the first month of the New Year, Bitdeer’s hardware divisions also successfully taped out its SEAL-DL1 chip designed for dogecoin and litecoin mining.
As previously reported by Blockspace, Bitdeer also highlighted in the release that it deployed its first GPU cluster – a mix of 1,792 Nvidia H100, H200, B200, and GB200 units in Malaysia – on January 13 to support enterprise-grade training workloads. This cluster is currently 41% utilized, according to Bitdeer’s release.
“Bitdeer has increased its focus on HPC/AI co-location opportunities for several of its larger sites including, but not limited to, Tydal, Norway. This is a high priority for us and the goal is to sign long term leases for these locations as soon as possible,” Chief Business Officer Matt Kong stated regarding the infrastructure shift.
On the bitcoin mining front, the Singapore-based bitcoin miner mined 668 bitcoin last month, a 430% increase compared to the 126 bitcoin produced in January 2025. Bitdeer held 1,530 bitcoin as of Jan. 31, a decrease from 2,017 the previous month.
At 63.2 EH/s, Bitdeer increased its self-mining operations by 14% from December as the firm continues to deploy its own SEALMINER rigs.
As with other miners, Bitdeer is undergoing an infrastructure shift, converting from cryptocurrency mining to AI data centers. It began decommissioning a facility in Tydal, Norway, to make room for long-lead AI equipment.
Bitdeer’s sites Washington state and Tennessee face similar transitions, with design documents and permits submitted for these locations with a targeted completion of late 2026.
Development continues in Ohio despite specific legal hurdles. A 570-megawatt project in Clarington is under contract but faces potential delays due to proceedings filed by a neighboring company.
Bitdeer’s total electrical capacity under management stands at 1,658 megawatts, and the company maintains a development pipeline of an additional 1,344 megawatts across its global portfolio.
