The Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin mining firm Bitdeer Technologies Group aims to raise $330 million in its third convertible notes offering.
Bitdeer investors would get 4.875% annual interest on the purchased notes until 2031, with the ability to convert their notes 25% higher than the firm's current stock price. Additionally, if investors purchase extra notes within 13 days, the deal could reach $375 million total, according to Wednesday's release .
Bitdeer expects to raise between $320 million and $360 million from the deal, depending on whether investors purchase the offered notes in full. While the Bitcoin miner plans to use about $160 million to pay off zero-strike call options and cash consideration for note exchanges, the rest of this financing would go toward ASIC mining rig expansions, working capital, and general company purposes, the release continues.
Bitdeer's prior convertible notes offering occurred last year, with a $150 million debt raise in August and another $360 million offering in November.
The convertible debt raise adds to Bitdeer's prior fundraise efforts, including when the firm sold $100 million of its shares to the stablecoin issuer Tether in May 2024. The firm also opened a $200 million debt facility with Matrix Finance last month and secured about $40 million from the deal. Both Bitdeer and Matrix Finance are helmed by Jihan Wu , co-founder of the cryptocurrency mining rig manufacturer Bitmain , The Block previously reported.
Bitdeer shares are listed under the ticker BTDR and trade at $11.84 at the time of writing, with Bitdeer's overall market cap surpassing $2.3 billion, Nasdaq data shows.
Bitdeer is headquartered in Singapore and maintains mining data centers in the United States, Norway, and Bhutan. The firm noted in the first fiscal quarter that its mining revenue dropped 41% year-over-year, though its overall income grew over $400 million, largely due to non-cash income from derivatives.

The 10-year US Treasury yield approaches 5.4%, with the AI halo unable to hide the "inflated" risks of the S&P 500
Behind the S&P 500's record high, only 30% of its constituent stocks are above their 50-day moving average, marking the narrowest market breadth at a record high since 1990. The Russell 2000 has fallen for five consecutive weeks, and high-yield bond yields have soared to 15%. Societe Generale warns that if US Treasury yields rise to 6% and oil prices reach $150, the S&P 500 could fall by more than 20% next year. In addition, some top-performing fund managers have completely exited AI stocks in favor of energy, stating that once financing dries up, it will be "game over."
Oil tanker freight reaches a sixty-year high: shipping oil from the US to China is more expensive than launching a rocket!
The freight for a single barrel of crude oil has soared to $41, approaching half the oil price, and for a single trip, the freight was once enough to buy an oil tanker. The Middle East crisis has led to a structural shortage of shipping capacity in the Strait of Hormuz, coupled with ship-to-ship transfers extending turnaround times. VLCC freight rates have skyrocketed from an annual average of $9.2 million to $77 million—an increase of more than eight times. Refiners’ profits are being rapidly eroded, the average price of second-hand oil tankers has reached a historic high, and, unusually, surpassed the price of new vessels.
Following the Drop but Not the Rise! Silver Trapped in Difficulties
The logic of AI and solar energy demand continues to play out, yet prices are falling against the trend—macroeconomic forces such as a strengthening US dollar and rising real interest rates have completely suppressed fundamentals. Speculative funds offloaded $1.6 billion in a single week, marking a yearly peak, while CTA net short positions reversed by $2.6 billion to the highest level this year. However, Goldman Sachs analysts believe that the extreme short positioning itself is building reversal momentum, highlighting an asymmetry; once macro headwinds subside, a retaliatory rebound could be easily triggered. After a similar shakeout last time, silver surged 15% in six weeks.
