Shares of Bitcoin mining and AI infrastructure company Bitdeer Technologies (BTDR) fell more than 15% on Monday, despite strong revenue growth and a significant increase in Bitcoin production during the second quarter.

The sharp market reaction came as investors focused on the company's rising expenses and net loss, even as Bitdeer continued to expand its artificial intelligence infrastructure business.

Revenue Climbs 47%

Bitdeer reported second-quarter revenue of approximately $228.8 million, representing a 47% increase compared with the same period last year.

The company's Bitcoin mining operations also delivered substantial production growth.

Bitdeer produced 2,694 BTC during the quarter, nearly four times the 565 BTC mined during the same period in 2025.

However, the company ended the quarter with only around 150 BTC on its balance sheet, suggesting that much of the Bitcoin produced during the period was sold.

The decision to sell Bitcoin came during a quarter in which BTC briefly dropped below $60,000, potentially allowing the company to strengthen liquidity while managing operating expenses.

Rising Costs Push Loss Higher

Despite stronger revenue, Bitdeer's financial performance remained under pressure.

The company reported a net loss of approximately $92.3 million, with electricity costs, depreciation, research and development, administrative expenses and interest costs all increasing.

The combination of higher operating expenses and Bitcoin price volatility weighed on profitability and likely contributed to the negative market reaction.

AI Cloud Revenue Jumps Tenfold

One of the most notable developments was the rapid expansion of Bitdeer's AI infrastructure business.

AI cloud revenue increased roughly tenfold to $14 million, highlighting the company's growing focus on artificial intelligence alongside Bitcoin mining.

Bitdeer has been repositioning itself from a pure-play Bitcoin mining company into a broader digital infrastructure provider capable of supporting both cryptocurrency mining and AI workloads.

CFO Michael Potter said the company made continued progress across both businesses, with AI cloud operations scaling alongside its mining activities as its SEALMINER fleet comes online.

$4.7 Billion Norway AI Data Center Deal

Bitdeer's AI ambitions received a major boost earlier this month when the company announced a 16-year, $4.7 billion agreement involving its Tydal campus in Norway.

The deal represents an important step in Bitdeer's strategy to convert part of its existing power portfolio into long-term contracted revenue through data center colocation.

The company views the agreement as an initial large-scale example of a strategy it intends to expand across its infrastructure portfolio.

Instead of relying entirely on Bitcoin mining revenue, Bitdeer is increasingly looking to monetize its energy and data center infrastructure through AI computing demand.

Bitdeer Looks Beyond Bitcoin Mining

The company's latest results highlight the changing economics of the Bitcoin mining industry.

Bitcoin miners have faced increasing pressure from energy costs, mining difficulty, capital requirements and fluctuations in BTC prices. At the same time, the rapid expansion of AI computing has created demand for power-intensive data center infrastructure.

Bitdeer's strategy seeks to take advantage of both markets.

Its Bitcoin mining operations continue to expand production, while its AI infrastructure business provides another potential source of long-term revenue.

The challenge for investors will be determining whether the company's AI expansion can eventually offset the volatility and capital intensity associated with Bitcoin mining.

For now, Bitdeer's strong revenue growth and rising Bitcoin production have not been enough to satisfy the market, with the company's expanding losses and high operating costs remaining key concerns.

The next phase of Bitdeer's transformation will depend on how quickly its AI infrastructure operations scale and whether long-term data center contracts can create more predictable revenue alongside its Bitcoin mining business.
