Bitdeer CEO Jihan Wu said the company’s 0 BTC balance is not permanent as the firm prioritizes liquidity for land acquisitions.
The company reported zero bitcoin holdings on Saturday after selling its final 943.1 BTC in a single week, emptying reserves that stood at roughly 2,000 BTC at year-end.

CEO Jihan Wu said the company's zero-bitcoin balance is not permanent after the miner announced it had sold its remaining BTC treasury over the weeken
In an X post, Wu stated that the miner’s decision “does not mean it will always be zero in the future.”
The move was confirmed in a weekly production update posted to X on Saturday. In the week ending Feb. 20, the company sold 943.1 BTC from reserves and 189.8 BTC it had mined during the period. The drawdown accelerated through February, with holdings falling from about 1,530 BTC at the end of January to 943.1 BTC by Feb. 13, before the remaining balance was liquidated, The Block reported.
In a statement on Monday, Bitdeer said the sales should "not be a concern for the broader market." The company cited plans to prepare liquidity for "multiple non-binding powered land acquisition opportunities" while noting that its hashrate "will continue to grow" alongside ongoing bitcoin mining.
The disclosure follows Bitdeer’s announcement on Feb. 19 that it plans to raise $300 million through a private placement of convertible senior notes due 2032, with an option for initial purchasers to buy an additional $45 million. The company also disclosed a $43.5 million registered direct equity offering tied to repurchases of its 5.25% convertible senior notes due 2029. Bitdeer said proceeds are intended to fund datacenter expansion and advance its pivot toward high-performance computing and AI infrastructure.
The selloff comes as mining economics have tightened. Bitcoin network difficulty jumped 14.7% in the latest adjustment, and hashprice has fallen below $30 per PH/s/day, according to The Block's data dashboard. Bitdeer's gross margin slipped to 4.7% in the fourth quarter from 7.4% a year earlier, even as revenue rose 226% to $224.8 million and the company reported net income of $70.5 million compared with a $531.9 million loss in the prior-year period.
Bitdeer’s zero-BTC position sets it apart from publicly traded peers, according to BitcoinTreasuries data. MARA Holdings holds roughly 53,250 BTC, while Riot Platforms reports about 18,000 BTC. Strategy, the largest corporate holder, has accumulated more than 717,000 BTC.
Bitcoin was trading near $64,700 late Sunday, down more than 4% from $67,600 earlier in the day, according to The Block's prices page. The decline followed a series of macroeconomic headlines that triggered roughly $360 million in long-position liquidations across crypto markets before bitcoin staged a modest rebound above $65,000 early Monday morning.

Bitcoin fell below $65,000 on Sunday night as a mix of macroeconomic headlines hit already weak market confidence in risk assets.
Nearly $360 million in crypto long positions were liquidated in an hour, according to Coinglass’ heatmap based on available data.

At around 7:20 p.m. ET, bitcoin commenced a sharp decline from $67,600 to current levels near $64,700, dropping over 4% in less than two hours, according to The Block's price page.
Other major cryptocurrencies mirrored bitcoin's decline — ether dropped 5.77% in the past 24 hours to $1,861, XRP fell 6.42% to $1.33, and Solana saw a steep 8.3% decline to $77.6.
The decline worsened as several hundred million dollars in long positions were liquidated. According to Coinglass's heatmap based on available data, close to $360 million in long positions were liquidated in the past hour, leading up to 8:57 p.m.
This is a confluence of macro shocks hitting a market that was already fragile," said Rachael Lucas, crypto analyst at BTC Markets. "Geopolitical chaos out of Mexico is rattling risk appetite globally, and the worst pending home sales reading ever recorded in the U.S. has compounded the nervousness."
Mexican security forces have killed Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera, leader of one of the largest cartels. His death sparked eruptions of mass violence across the nation, prompting international airlines to suspend flights to Mexico.

These events came as President Donald Trump announced he would raise the blanket 10% tariff on all U.S. imports to 15%, a move he had originally announced after the Supreme Court ruled that his emergency tariffs were unlawful.
The added layer of uncertainty from Trump's latest announcement has led Wall Street futures and the dollar to slide, Reuters reported.
Bitcoin was already carrying five consecutive weeks of ETF outflows and spot volumes down 59% week on week, so the liquidity conditions to absorb a shock like this simply were not there," Lucas said. "This is not a bitcoin-specific story. It is a risk-off story that bitcoin is absorbing first.
Kronos Research CIO Vincent Liu also mentioned the Japanese yen's sharp surge on the back of speculation that the Bank of Japan is preparing for a policy shift toward further monetary tightening. The surge forced funds to deleverage, worsening the sell-off in risk assets globally.
Watch $60K for support — On the upside, reclaiming $65–66K could stabilize BTC, with $70K signaling a rebound but highly dependent on macro flows," Liu said. "Relief could come from renewed ETF inflows, clearer regulatory signals, or Thursday’s initial jobless claims, which may provide insights or at minimum, a relief bounce."
BTC Markets' Lucas said the underlying picture for the crypto market is not "uniformly bearish," mentioning that whales added 200,000 BTC over the past month. The analyst also cited bitcoin's short-term Sharpe ratio recently hitting -38.38, a level seen during cycle lows in 2015, 2019, and 2022 before a significant recovery.
On the catalyst side, the CLARITY Act moving through the Senate would provide the regulatory certainty the market needs to draw institutional capital back in," Lucas said. "The setup is there. The timing depends heavily on how quickly macro uncertainty resolves."

Missouri has advanced its state bitcoin reserve bill to the House Commerce Committee after similar efforts failed last year.
HB 2080 seeks to create a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Fund and allow the state treasurer to receive, invest, and hold bitcoin.
Missouri has advanced its legislation to create a state bitcoin
BTC-4.80%
reserve to the State House Commerce Committee, after similar efforts failed to materialize last yea
House Bill 2080, introduced by Republican Representative Ben Keathley, seeks to create a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Fund within the state treasury and authorize the Missouri State Treasurer to receive, invest, and hold bitcoin under certain conditions.
Specifically, the bill would allow the Treasurer to accept gifts, grants, or donations of bitcoin from eligible Missouri residents or governmental entities and to custody those holdings for at least five years before any sale, transfer, or conversion, according to the bill summary.
The bill would also empower the Treasurer to purchase cryptocurrency using state funds and permit Missouri's government entities to accept approved digital assets for taxes, fees, and other payments. It would also require the Treasurer to prepare a biennial public report detailing fund activity.
The proposed legislation received its first and second readings in January 2026 and was referred to the House Commerce Committee on Feb. 19.
The bill represents Keathley's second attempt at establishing Missouri's bitcoin treasury. His earlier measure, HB 1217, introduced in February 2025, similarly sought to establish a dedicated bitcoin reserve fund with the Treasurer as custodian. That bill received a hearing in the House Special Committee on Intergovernmental Affairs in March 2025 but did not advance, ultimately dying in committee before the session ended.
By advancing a similar bill into a new committee, Missouri lawmakers are again pursuing a state-level bitcoin treasury concept that has gained traction in U.S. policy debates over the past year. The U.S. federal government itself created a national strategic bitcoin reserve in 2025 following President Donald Trump's March executive order.
Multiple other U.S. states are exploring the idea of bitcoin reserves. Lawmakers in Kansas and Florida have advanced similar proposals in the legislature, while Arizona, Texas, and New Hampshire have passed their crypto reserve legislation.

US President Donald Trump has said he will impose global tariffs of 15%, as he has continued to rail against a Supreme Court ruling that struck down his previous import taxes.
Trump said on Friday that he would replace the tariffs scrapped by the court with a 10% levy on all goods coming into the US.
But on Saturday, he announced on Truth Social that this would be increased to the maximum allowed under a never-used trade law.
That law allows these new tariffs to stay in place for around five months before the administration must seek congressional approval.
The 10% tariffs were set to come into force on Tuesday, 24 February. It's unclear if the increased 15% would also be imposed starting then. The BBC has contacted the White House.
The new 15% tax rate - a temporary solution under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act - raises questions for countries such as the UK and Australia, which had agreed a 10% tariff deal with the US.
Trump said his administration had reached the decision to raise the levy following a review of the Supreme Court's "ridiculous, poorly written, and extraordinarily anti-American decision on Tariffs issued yesterday".
In a 6-3 decision, justices on the highest US court found that the president had overstepped his powers when he introduced sweeping global tariffs last year using a 1977 law known as the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
The US has already collected at least $130bn (£96.4bn) in tariffs using IEEPA, according to the most recent government data.
Immediately following the ruling, Trump said that he was "ashamed of certain members of the court" and called the justices who rejected his trade policy "fools".
Trump's tariffs are a key plank of his economic policy, which he has said will encourage businesses to invest and produce goods in the US rather than overseas. But the high court's decision marked a significant check on his power and a major blow to his second-term agenda.
The US president has argued his tariffs are necessary to reduce the trade deficit - the amount by which imports exceed exports - but the US trade deficit reached a fresh high this week, widening by 2.1% compared to 2024 and hitting roughly $1.2 trillion (£890bn).
Drew Greenblatt, owner of Marlin Steel Wire Products, a steel fabrication plant in Baltimore, said he was "very disappointed" by the Supreme Court's decision.
It is a setback for poor people in America that had a chance to climb into the middle class with great manufacturing jobs," he told the BBC.
But John Boyd, a soybean farmer from Virginia and founder of the National Black Farmers Association, said: "This is a huge win for me and a big loss for the president.
"I don't care how you look at it, President Trump lost on this."
Yet Allie Renison, a former UK government trade adviser and director at SEC Newgate, said: "While it may seem like a good day for free trade, I think trade actually just got a lot messier."
She said that businesses are now facing "much more of a patchwork approach" to tariffs under the Trump administration.
It means that US businesses will have to pay a 15% tariff to import most goods into America under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974.
But some products will be exempted such as critical minerals, metals and pharmaceuticals.
Meanwhile, separate tariffs on steel, aluminium, lumber and automotive parts and sectors - introduced using a different US law - remain in place, untouched by the Supreme Court's ruling.
On Friday, a White House official said countries that previously reached trade deals with the US, including the UK, would face the global tariff under Section 122 rather than the tariff rate they had previously negotiated.
However, the UK's deals around steel, aluminium, pharmaceuticals, autos, and aerospace sectors - which represent most of its trade with the US - were not impacted.
The UK government said it expects Britain's "privileged trading position with the US" to continue and that it is a "matter for the US to determine" whether those deals still stand.
William Bain, head of trade policy at the British Chambers of Commerce, has said he feared that the president's response to the Supreme Court ruling "could be worse for British businesses".
The new 15% import tariffs are "bad for trade, bad for US consumers and businesses" and will "weaken global economic growth", the leader of a UK business group said.
The chairman of the European Parliament International Trade Committee told BBC Newshour he would call for a pause in ratifying a trade deal between the EU and US after Trump's announcement.
The committee was due to vote on the deal on Tuesday, but German Social Democrat MEP Bernd Lange said fresh tariffs raised "several issues" that needed clarifying.
The Supreme Court ruling opened the door for consumers and businesses to seek refunds from the unlawful tariffs, though the high court did not make a decision on whether reimbursements should be issued.
On Friday, Trump indicated that refunds would not come without a legal battle which, he claimed, could take years. Companies and trade groups have already vowed to seek such reimbursements.
But Neil Bradley, chief policy officer at the US Chamber of Commerce, said: "Swift refunds of the impermissible tariffs will be meaningful for the more than 200,000 small business importers in this country and will help support stronger economic growth this year."
While the National Retail Federation, which represents millions of American businesses, urged the courts "to ensure a seamless process to refund the tariffs to US importers".
US Senator Maria Cantwell, a Democrat representing Washington state, has written a letter to US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, asking whether the administration has a plan to refund businesses.
Given this Administration has illegally collected hundreds of billions of dollars from American businesses, that now must be refunded, I am requesting detailed information about how the Administration plans to fairly and expeditiously reimburse the payors of those tariffs," she wrote in a letter to Bessent.
But Senator John Kennedy, a Republican from Louisiana, argued that if Democrats push for refunds, it could backfire and help Republicans in the next election cycle.
He said it could be a boon for the US business community that would make the economy "roar" ahead of the midterm elections in November.

Small wallets have increased their BTC holdings by 2.5% since October's all-time high while large holders trimmed 0.8%, Santiment data shows.
The interesting bit is a developing split in coin ownership that could shape what happens next.
Data from Santiment shows the number of wallets holding less than 0.1 BTC, a level typically associated with retail investors, has increased by 2.5% since the largest cryptocurrency hit a record high in October. The growth has pushed the so-called shrimps' share of supply to its highest since mid-2024.
In practice, though, it's the larger holders known as whales and sharks who tend to set the tone for price direction. Those investors, with wallets holding between 10 and 10,000 BTC, went the other way, dropping about 0.8%.
It's the kind of split that tends to produce choppy, frustrating price action rather than clean trends.
Retail provides a floor and can spark short-term momentum. Rallies that stick require bigger players who are prepared to buy whatever's on offer.
The divergence is especially notable because the picture looked different just a few weeks ago.
After bitcoin cratered toward $60,000 on Feb. 5 — a drawdown of more than 50% from its October peak — Glassnode's Accumulation Trend Score climbed to 0.68, the strongest broad-based reading since late November, as CoinDesk reported earlier in the month.
Glassnode's metric measures the relative strength of accumulation across different wallet sizes by factoring in both entity size and the amount of BTC accumulated over the past 15 days. A score closer to 1 signals accumulation, while a score closer to 0 indicates distribution.
During the flash, the 10-to-100 BTC cohort was the most aggressive dip buyer, and the data suggested the market was shifting from capitulation into something more synchronized.
Santiment's wider lens complicates that reading. Its 10-to-10,000 BTC band captures a much broader slice of large holders than Glassnode's dip-buying cohort, and across that full range, net positioning since October is still negative.
One way to reconcile the two takes: mid-sized wallets may have genuinely bought the panic while the largest holders kept distributing into every recovery, dragging the aggregate number down.
It matters because bitcoin doesn't need retail to show up. Retail is already here.
What it needs is for the distribution from large wallets to stop, or better yet, reverse. Without that, every rally risks being sold into by the very cohort that needs to provide structural demand if it is to succeed.
The shrimps are doing their part. They are waiting for the whales join in.

New research claims specialized AI dramatically outperforms general-purpose models at detecting exploited DeFi vulnerabilities.
Both systems ran on the same frontier model. The difference, according to the report, was the application layer: domain-specific methodology, structured review phases and DeFi-focused security heuristics layered on top of the model.
The findings arrive amid growing concern that AI is accelerating crypto crime. Separate research from Anthropic and OpenAI has shown that AI agents can now execute end-to-end exploits on most known vulnerable smart contracts, with exploit capability reportedly doubling roughly every 1.3 months. The average cost of an AI-powered exploit attempt is about $1.22 per contract, sharply lowering the barrier to large-scale scanning.
Previous CoinDesk coverage outlined how bad actors such as North Korea have begun using AI to scale hacking operations and automate parts of the exploit process, underscoring the widening gap between offensive and defensive capabilities.
Cecuro argues that many teams rely on general-purpose AI tools or one-off audits for security, an approach the benchmark suggests may miss high-value, complex vulnerabilities. Several contracts in the dataset had previously undergone professional audits before being exploited.
The benchmark dataset, evaluation framework and baseline agent have been open-sourced on GitHub. The company said it has not released its full security agent due to concerns that similar tooling could be repurposed for offensive use.

The tokenized shares were issued by the BNP Paribas’ AssetFoundryTM platform using a “permissioned access model on Ethereum.”
This follows other experiments, including efforts to bring Swift onchain, and issue tokenized shares via Allfunds Blockchain.
BNP Paribas Asset Management is tapping Ethereum for a new blockchain pilot, this time issuing a tokenised share class of a French‑domiciled money market fund.
The tokenized shares, issued onchain using BNP Paribas’ AssetFoundryTM platform, will offer gated access via a "permissioned access model on Ethereum ... whereby holdings and transfers are restricted to eligible and authorised participants, in line with applicable regulatory requirements," according to the announcement.
The initiative was conducted as a one‑off, limited intra‑group experiment, enabling BNP Paribas to test new end‑to‑end processes, from issuance and transfer agency to tokenisation and public‑blockchain connectivity, within a controlled and regulated framework," the company wrote.
BNP Paribas Asset Management acted as the fund issuer, with BNP Paribas Securities Services business acting as transfer agent and dealer.
This second issuance of tokenised money market funds, this time using public blockchain infrastructure, supports our ongoing efforts to explore how tokenisation can contribute to greater operational efficiency and security within a regulated framework," Chief Digital and Data Officer at BNP Paribas Asset Management Edouard Legrand said in a statement.
BNP Paribas, a leading Paris-based multinational bank, has been an active participant in the institutional blockchain space. Last year, for instance, the firm issued an onchain share class of a money market fund in collaboration with Allfunds Blockchain, referring to the project as the "first natively tokenised money market fund."
The firm is also reportedly part of an experiment to bring the Swift global financial communications network to the Ethereum Layer 2 Linea, as well as a member of a joint project among big banks, reportedly including Santander, Bank of America, Barclays, Citi, Deutsche Bank, and Goldman Sachs, to explore issuing a stablecoin.
