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.

Trading Volume Halved: Korea's Two Major Crypto Exchanges Launch Listing Wars

As South Korea's stock market cools from its peak summer performance, leading cryptocurrency exchanges Upbit and Bithumb are intensifying their competition to list new digital assets. Following a significant slump in crypto trading volume during the first half of 2025—with total volume across five major KRW-based exchanges falling nearly 50% year-on-year as capital flooded into equities—the two exchanges have sharply increased their listing pace since July. In just over a month, both Upbit and Bithumb have each added 17 new KRW-trading pairs, far exceeding their average of 6-10 listings per month earlier in the year. This acceleration coincides with a decline in the Korean Composite Stock Price Index's (KOSPI) daily trading volume and a reduction in the proportion of retail investor participation in stocks. Analysts suggest that with the stock market's "wealth effect" diminishing, crypto exchanges are now competing more aggressively for the limited attention and risk capital of local retail investors. The newly listed assets are already contributing significantly to trading activity on the platforms. On Upbit, for example, several coins listed since July now rank among its top-traded assets by volume, collectively accounting for nearly 20% of its 24-hour trading volume recently. However, this surge in new listings appears to be primarily redistracting existing capital within the shrunken crypto market rather than attracting substantial new inflows. Consequently, the strategies of the two dominant exchanges, which together control about 96% of the KRW crypto trading market, are becoming increasingly similar, with both rushing to list the same trending assets to prevent the other from capturing all available trading demand.

Behind a 26-Year-Old Hong Kong Trader's $150 Million Loss: A South Korean Stock Market 'Great Escape'

In 2026, the South Korean stock market, propelled by the AI boom's demand for high-performance memory chips, witnessed a dramatic rally and subsequent crash, illustrating the perils of excessive leverage, structural market flaws, and retail investor frenzy. The initial surge was driven by soaring share prices of memory giants Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. This "once-in-a-lifetime" wealth creation story captivated local Korean retail investors, many of whom invested heavily using leverage, and attracted global capital through products like Hong Kong-listed leveraged ETFs. However, the market's heavy reliance on these two stocks and widespread leverage created systemic fragility. The turning point came in June 2026. A series of circuit-breaker halts triggered a vicious cycle of forced liquidations, leading to a steep market plunge. The collapse erased fortunes, leaving many leveraged retail investors in debt. It also exposed a high-profile case in Hong Kong where a 26-year-old trader, using unauthorized company funds and double leverage on a SK Hynix ETF, incurred massive losses of HKD 150 million. Analysis points to key factors behind the extreme volatility: the overwhelming dominance of two stocks in the KOSPI index, a culture of rampant retail leverage, and a fundamental mispricing where investors treated cyclical semiconductor stocks as perpetual growth stories. As the market entered a volatile consolidation phase, seasoned investors emphasized core risk management principles: avoiding leverage, understanding industry cycles, maintaining a margin of safety, and being wary of extreme market consensus. The episode serves as a stark reminder that high returns are inextricably linked to high risk, especially when amplified by leverage.

Russia proposes exchange trading of Bitcoin, Ether and Tether’s USDT

Russia's central bank has proposed allowing Bitcoin, Ether, and Tether's USDT for public trading on exchanges under new regulations. The assets were selected based on criteria like market capitalization, trading volume, and a five-year price history. The move follows a law signed by President Vladimir Putin granting the central bank authority to approve digital currencies for organized trading. New rules limit non-qualified investors to purchasing up to 300,000 rubles (approximately $3,650) worth of cryptocurrency annually per intermediary, with no limits for qualified investors. All investors must pass a risk test before transacting. The restrictions aim to protect non-qualified investors from crypto market volatility. Public comments on the proposal are being accepted until August 24.

Solmate Continues to Buy Up SOL

Solmate Infrastructure (NASDAQ: SLMT), a company specializing in blockchain, staking, and AI solutions, has purchased an additional 1,001 SOL. This acquisition brings the company's total holdings to approximately 1.26 million SOL. The purchase coincides with Solana validators supporting proposals to reduce the issuance of new SOL tokens and increase the volume of tokens burned through network fees, changes that could impact Solana's long-term economic model by slowing supply growth. Solmate plans to stake the acquired SOL through its institutional validator infrastructure, aiming to increase its participation in the Solana network and earn additional staking rewards. This move is part of Solmate's broader strategy to develop infrastructure for institutional engagement within the Solana ecosystem, building up its SOL reserves while expanding its validator operations, staking services, and partnerships.
