Bitdeer's latest operating update has revealed a concrete insight into the recent Bitcoin miner-AI pivot: the company produced far more Bitcoin but ended the month with far fewer coins than it held a year earlier.
Key facts
- Bitdeer also reported $188.9 million in Q1 revenue, positive adjusted EBITDA of $14.4 million, and $297.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash
- In May, the company said AI Cloud ARR held near $69 million at 90% GPU utilization, with 4,248 GPUs deployed and 3,305 GPUs under external subscription
- Using CryptoSlate Bitcoin pricing in the roughly $62,700 to $62,900 range on June 19, Bitdeer's May production was worth about $57.9 million, and its month-end BTC balance was worth about $10.7
- The quarter also included $346.9 million of net cash used in operating activities, $93.7 million of capital expenditures for data center infrastructure, GPU procurement, tariffs, and mining rigs
Summary
01 Bitdeer mined 921 BTC in May 2026, while month-end holdings fell to 171 coins. 02 The gap matters because Bitdeer is pairing mining with AI cloud growth and may rely less on selling BTC for liquidity. 03 But May data still shows limited Bitcoin retention, leaving open whether AI revenue can fund growth without more coin sales. The company reported 921 BTC mined in May 2026, up 370% year over year, while BTC held at month-end stood at 171.
