The longstanding industry leader MARA has a hashrate of 61.7 EH\/s.<\/p>\n

However, direct comparison may be inaccurate: Bitdeer accounts for total managed hashrate, while MARA considers connected capacity.<\/p>\n

AI Investment and Asset Sales<\/h2>\n

Bitdeer’s growth is linked to the implementation of its proprietary SEALMINER chips. In December 2025, the company mined 636 BTC\u2014compared to just 145 BTC the previous year.<\/p>\n

The firm is actively selling its mined cryptocurrency. VanEck’s Head of Research, Matthew Sigel, noted that Bitdeer sells all mined coins and even part of its reserves to fund its AI initiatives.<\/p>\n

Bitdeer reported 71 EH\/s capacity as of end December (~6% of global hash rate), +18% m\/m, +229% y\/y.<\/p>\n

Like other miners, they are actively selling everything they mine (and more) to fund the AI pivot. pic.twitter.com\/FZSieHqyiA<\/a><\/p>\n
