Bitdeer is steering its hardware bets beyond core BTC mining, pairing open firmware vibes with a broader data-center play. This isn't just about silicon—it's about building an ecosystem around HPC/AI and community tinkering [1].
Funding & Production — Bitdeer is securing procurement agreements for NVIDIA's next-generation GB300 and B300 systems, backed by a $60M fund to boost Bitcoin ASIC production [2].
Vertical integration & AI cloud push — Bitdeer is pushing into the HPC/AI cloud business, converting existing and planned sites into AI-capable data centers. The 570 MW Clarington, Ohio site will be online earlier than expected, with plans to deploy 1,160 GPUs by year-end and over 200 MW IT load dedicated to AI computing by 2026 [1].
Hydro miners & orders — A Bitdeer customer has placed an order for 5 hydro miners, signaling growing interest in non-BTC deployment channels [3].
Open‑source firmware initiatives — Canaan officially releases the Nano 3S firmware open-source, inviting builders to patch and optimize designs [4]. The momentum is echoed by Altair Technology, which highlights the open-source move and community tinkering opportunities [5].
Closing thought: these moves could unlock broader access, efficiency, and choice in crypto mining hardware over the next year.
