Crypto mining firm Bitdeer has fully liquidated its Bitcoin holdings, reducing its balance to zero after selling both newly mined coins and roughly 943 BTC from reserves. The move marks a significant departure from the typical miner strategy of holding at least part of their production as a long-term treasury asset.
Unlike sudden panic selling, Bitdeer’s exit appears gradual. Reports indicate the company reduced its Bitcoin inventory steadily — from around 2,000 BTC in late 2025 to none by early 2026 — selling more coins over time as margins tightened.
The backdrop is a challenging mining environment. Rising network difficulty, higher operational costs, and reduced hashprice have compressed profitability across the sector. For many miners, holding Bitcoin is no longer as financially comfortable as in previous cycles.
However, the decision does not necessarily signal bearish sentiment. Bitdeer is reportedly raising around $300 million and reallocating capital toward AI infrastructure, data centers, and mining hardware development. Rather than exiting the industry, the company appears to be pivoting toward infrastructure-focused growth.
The move highlights a growing divide among miners: some continue to treat Bitcoin as a long-term treasury asset, while others increasingly operate with a cash-flow-driven, inventory-based approach.
Whether this shift proves visionary or defensive remains to be seen — but it clearly reflects how competitive and capital-intensive Bitcoin mining has become in 2026$BTC .#TrumpNewTariffs #crypto #Binance #bitcoin #TokenizedRealEstate
