## Latest CallCard · Q2

Bitdeer announced a $4.7 bn 16‑year Tydal colocation lease, highlighted strong AI and mining growth, raised 2026 crypto‑infrastructure capex guidance, and discussed execution timelines and financing needs.

**Guidance:** raised — Full‑year crypto‑mining infrastructure capex was lifted to $200‑$280 million to fund additional projects.

**Tone:** mgmt 0.6 · Q&A pressure 0.4 · divergence 0.3

Prepared remarks were upbeat, praising Tydal terms, AI pipeline and a solid quarter performance.

### Demand visibility

Strong demand for AI‑GPU capacity and mining power globally.

Management cited a growing pipeline of megawatts in Asia, Malaysia, Norway and the U.S., with customers actively seeking long‑term GPU contracts.

### Margins / costs

Lease structure shields margin from energy price swings.

Volta pays base rent plus a 3% escalator and electricity costs are passed through, protecting margin; gross margin improved $30.5 m sequentially.

### Capital allocation

Prioritising non‑dilutive project debt and internal wafer funding.

Raised $457 m via ATM, filed new shelf, prefers project‑level debt for Tydal, allocated $500 m remaining capex, funded SEALMINER wafer spend with cash and debt.

### Milestones

- **Tydal Phase 1** [on_track]: Targeted for Dec 31 2026; management says they are in a good position to hit the date.
- **Tydal Phase 2** [on_track]: Targeted for Mar 31 2027; long‑lead items ordered and on schedule.
- **Malaysia AI‑cloud lease (21.7 MW)** [on_track]: Signed 10‑year lease, handover expected Q1 2027.
- **Sparks, Nevada SEALMINER fab** [on_track]: Ground broken July, slated for completion end‑2026 with 10 k units/month capacity.
- **Fox Creek, Alberta 101 MW plant** [on_track]: Ground broken June; fully permitted and using closed‑loop dry cooling.
- **Rockdale Texas power build** [on_track]: Infrastructure construction proceeding per timeline; not yet affected by Texas grid pause.
- **SEALMINER DL1 Hydro launch** [delivered]: First script‑algorithm mining machine launched during Q2.
- **AI cloud ARR $76 m** [delivered]: Quarterly ARR up 77% QoQ, 95% GPU utilization.

### Fears / risks

- **Execution risk**: Meeting RFS dates for Tydal phases and other sites depends on timely installation and commissioning.
- **Regulatory risk**: Texas government pause on new data‑center grid could affect future colocation projects.
- **Counterparty risk**: Reliance on Volta’s credit structure, though institutional‑grade, remains a key exposure.
- **Legal risk**: Clarington lawsuit motion to dismiss was denied, extending discovery and potential liability.
- **Market price risk**: Bitcoin hash price environment remains challenging, impacting revenue despite hash‑rate growth.
- **Energy cost volatility**: Although lease passes through electricity costs, broader power price swings could affect margins.
- **Financing risk**: Need to secure project‑level debt for remaining $500 m Tydal capex and other AI/HPC sites.
- **Demand uncertainty**: Future megawatt demand in Europe and Asia hinges on customer contract timing and macro‑economic conditions.

### Key quotes

> “We view Tydal as an important proof point for this strategy, and we intend to pursue additional opportunities of this kind as they arise.”

> “The bottleneck right now is our execution. So we are quite busy on executing those AI contract in Malaysia.”

> “It's still a little bit early to make strong comments on that because the actual criteria haven't come out yet.”
