Bitdeer’s SEALMINER ASIC and AI/HPC Business With Jeff LaBerge

Welcome back to the Mining Pod! For this week’s Bitcoin Stock Show, we sit down with Jeff LaBerge, the head of capital markets and strategic investments at Bitdeer. Bursting onto the scene last year with its IPO, Bitdeer quickly became one of the public bitcoin miners to watch, and now, the company is designing its own ASIC miner, the SEALMINER. How did Bitdeer secure TSMC chip allocation for the series, and will Bitdeer sell this ASIC on the open market or keep it for itself? We answer these questions and more, and we also touch on Bitdeer’s multi-continent AI/HPC aspirations.
