Introduzione

Bitdeer significantly narrowed its gross loss in Q2 2026 to $8.5 million, even as its revenue surged to $228.8 million, a 21.1% increase from the previous quarter and a 47% year-over-year rise. The strong revenue growth was primarily driven by the company's proprietary mining business, which generated $168.4 million, and its AI cloud services, which grew to $14 million. However, the cost of revenue grew faster than revenue on an annual basis, reaching $237.3 million, leading to a gross loss. This cost increase was largely due to higher electricity expenses for mining and increased depreciation from deploying new equipment. Notably, the pace of cost growth slowed significantly compared to Q1, helping to reduce the quarterly gross loss from $39 million to $8.5 million. The net loss also improved, narrowing to $92.3 million. Bitdeer highlighted major expansion steps, including a $4.7 billion, 16-year AI data center lease in Norway and a $36 million U.S. facility for building its SEALMINER machines, positioning itself for future growth.

On August 10th, Bitdeer Technologies Group released its unaudited financial results for the second quarter (Q2) of 2026, showing strong revenue growth amidst ongoing cost pressures. Although the company's cost of revenue grew faster year-over-year than total revenue, the rate of cost increase slowed significantly compared to the first quarter, helping to reduce Bitdeer's gross loss.

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30 was $228.8 million, higher than Q2 2025 ($155.6 million) and a 21.1% increase over Q1 2026 ($188.9 million). Cost of revenue rose to $237.3 million from $143.6 million in Q2 2025, but increased only 4.1% compared to the previous quarter ($228.0 million in Q1 2026).

Bitdeer's gross loss narrowed to $8.5 million, compared to a gross profit of $12.0 million in Q2 2025. Nevertheless, the Q2 gross loss was a marked improvement from the $39.0 million gross loss recorded in Q1 2026. Net loss was $92.3 million, down from the $159.5 million recorded in Q1 2026.

The primary driver of Bitdeer's Q2 financial performance is cost growth. Compared to the same period last year, the cost of revenue increased by 65.3%, outpacing the 47% growth in total revenue.

This mismatch was mainly caused by rising electricity expenses and increased depreciation charges, as the company rapidly deployed new mining rigs and commissioned additional data center capacity. Electricity costs for self-mining surged to $84.7 million in Q2 2026, while depreciation and share-based compensation expenses reached $79.8 million. Increased headcount, AI cloud services expenses, and hosting fees under shared mining also contributed to the elevated cost base.

The growth in total revenue was primarily driven by Bitdeer's self-mining business, which generated $168.4 million in Q2 2026—compared to $59.3 million in Q2 2025—fueled by a 389.4% jump in average self-mining hash rate to 69.5 exahashes per second. AI cloud services revenue also grew rapidly to $14.0 million from $1.3 million in the prior-year period.

Bitdeer's CFO Michael G. Potter noted that the quarter's results reflect stable operations in both AI infrastructure and Bitcoin mining farms, highlighting the recent $4.7 billion 16-year lease agreement with Volta to host AI and high-performance computing data centers at the Tidal site in Norway as a key milestone in converting power capacity into long-term contractual revenue.

Prior to this major Norwegian lease deal, Bitdeer announced in July the start of construction on a $36 million electronics manufacturing plant in Sparks, Nevada—its first U.S.-based assembly facility for SEALMINER mining rigs. This facility will complement the company's existing U.S. data centers and its innovation hub in San Jose, California.

As of June 30, 2026, Bitdeer had $496.3 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, providing the company liquidity as it continues to expand SEALMINER deployment and develop AI-centric data center projects.

XRP Ledger Sponsored Fees Proposal Could Make XRP Less Visible To Some Users

The proposed XRP Ledger amendment XLS-68, part of the v3.3.0 bundle, would enable sponsors to cover transaction fees and account reserves for other users. This could allow some users to interact with wallets and applications without directly holding XRP, aiming to reduce onboarding friction and improve user experience through fee abstraction. While this may make XRP less visible in certain user journeys, it does not necessarily mean demand for XRP will fall. Sponsors would still need to hold and spend XRP to fund these operations. Furthermore, by simplifying the user experience, the feature could attract more applications and increase overall network activity, potentially offsetting any reduction in direct user-held XRP. The change is particularly relevant for enterprise and consumer-facing products seeking to hide blockchain complexity. Its ultimate impact depends on validator approval, adoption by builders, and how sponsors implement the feature. The proposal is currently a step toward smoother onboarding, with its effects on XRP demand and visibility to be determined by future usage.

Strong Growth, Moderate Rate Hikes, Controllable Oil Prices: The Market is Pricing a Non-existent Perfection

The global market is currently pricing in a contradictory "Goldilocks" scenario of robust growth, limited interest rate hikes, manageable energy supply shocks, and declining oil prices. Deutsche Bank strategist Henry Allen warns this leaves little room for error regarding policy, inflation, or geopolitics. While U.S. equities hit record highs and credit spreads are tight, signaling strong growth, interest rate markets price in only minimal Fed tightening ahead, despite inflation remaining above target. This combination is difficult to sustain. Historically, starting inflation levels suggest a much more aggressive Fed hiking cycle than currently anticipated, as seen in 2022. Furthermore, oil price declines contradict ongoing supply risks, with the Strait of Hormuz still disrupted. Market expectations for future supply recovery and lower prices depend on resolutions not yet achieved. Energy volatility and potential new inflationary pressures from AI-driven demand highlight persistent inflation risks. The core risk is that the multiple optimistic assumptions underpinning current asset prices fail to materialize simultaneously. Strong growth with loose financial conditions could force more aggressive Fed action, while prolonged energy disruptions could undermine disinflation. Markets have priced a near-perfect outcome with minimal margin for deviation, meaning any single factor disappointing expectations could trigger a broad repricing of growth, rates, and risk assets.

While AAOI Just Ignited Optical Communications, CoreWeave Drops a 104 Billion Order! Who's Really Cashing In on the AI Infrastructure Chain?

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, CoreWeave's revenue grew approximately 112% year-over-year to $2.575 billion, while its net loss expanded to $626 million. Despite maintaining rapid growth in revenue, production capacity, and backlog orders, a sharp increase in operating expenses turned operating profit negative. Furthermore, capital expenditure far exceeded operating cash flow, leading to a rise in debt levels and a heavier interest burden. Future focus should be on the conversion efficiency of backlog orders, the recovery of profit margins, as well as external financing and debt pressures.
