Of this amount, the company mined 189.9 BTC over the past week.
As of February 20, the firm has no Bitcoin left on its balance sheet, aside from customer deposits.
In recent weeks, Bitdeer has been actively selling Bitcoin, but in much smaller volumes. Typically, the miner only sold mined coins.
According to a January report, the company's hash rate reached 63.2 EH/s (+14% since December). Last month, it mined 668 BTC.
Data from BitcoinMiningStock indicates that Bitdeer has surpassed the previous leader, MARA Holdings (currently at 61.7 EH/s). Thus, Jihan Wu's firm has become the largest public miner by hash rate.

Miner revenues have significantly declined since October 2025. At that time, the figure was $1.59 billion, but it fell to $1.12 billion in January.

According to CryptoQuant, the influx of funds to cryptocurrency exchanges has recently been driven by large holders, as the market "remains in a bearish phase." The share of whales has increased to 0.64, reaching its highest level since October 2015.

Experts noted that the acute phase of selling has eased, despite consistently high inflows to exchanges compared to previous months.
On February 19, following another recalibration, Bitcoin mining difficulty increased by 14.73%—to 144.4 T.
