What to know:

  • Bitdeer Technologies has completed a $330 million private placement of convertible senior notes maturing in 2031.
  • The notes have a conversion price of $15.87 per share, which is 44% above Bitdeer's current trading price.
  • Bitdeer is using part of the proceeds for a call option to settle conversions and for datacenter expansion and ASIC development.

Bitcoin miner and ASIC manufacturer Bitdeer Technologies (BTDR) has completed a $330 million private placement of convertible senior notes maturing July 1, 2031. The notes bear interest at 4.875% and feature a conversion price of $15.87 per share — about 44% above BTDR’s current $11 trading price.

The bond’s conversion rate of 62.9921 Class A shares per $1,000 principal means full conversion could yield roughly 20.8 million new shares. To cover this, Bitdeer prepaid Barclays $129.6 million for a call option with a zero strike price on over 10.2 million shares, or 49% of the conversion total. The option allows Bitdeer to settle conversions using shares from Barclays’ inventory rather than tying up its own stock.
