Bitdeer Acquires $21.7M Power Plant in Alberta for Vertically Integrated Bitcoin Mining

The Singapore-based company aims to build a net-zero, fully integrated Bitcoin mining facility operational by late 2026.

  • Bitdeer has purchased a 101-megawatt gas-fired power plant and 19 acres of land in Alberta, Canada, for $21.7 million in an all-cash deal.
  • The site is expected to scale up to 1 gigawatt of power and will include a 99 MW Bitcoin mining datacenter, with energy costs projected at $20-$25 per megawatt-hour.
  • The facility will feature full vertical integration, including Bitdeer's own power generation, electrical infrastructure, and proprietary SEALMINER mining machines.
  • A carbon utilization system will be implemented to achieve net-zero emissions, potentially generating revenue through carbon credits while offsetting Canada’s carbon tax obligations.
  • Construction begins in Q2 2025, with energization and full operations targeted for Q4 2026, marking Bitdeer's first venture in Canada and a significant step toward industry-leading efficiency and scalability.
