 <p>The company disclosed in its earnings report published on Aug. 11 that the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="losses" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/losses.html">losses</a> were largely attributed to a $33.2 million <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="listing" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/listing.html">listing</a> fee paid to Blue Safari Acquisition Corp relating to Bitdeer's <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="listing" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/listing.html">listing</a> on the U.S. NASDAQ exchange. The firm's revenue increased by 5.2% to $93.8 million.

Bitdeer also launched an 18,000-machine mining rig in Bhutan during the quarter and announced the construction of a 175-megawatt mining center in Norway.</p> 
 <p>In November 2021, Bitdeer announced it would go public via a $4 billion special purpose acquisition company merger. The deal was postponed due to the ongoing crypto winter, only to be finalized in April 2023.
