According to a<a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://ir.bitdeer.com/news-releases/news-release-details/bitdeer-announces-150-million-private-placement-financing" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> press release</a>, the two companies completed an agreement on May 30, 2024, in which Tether acquired over 18,587,360 Class A ordinary shares of Bitdeer, along with a warrant to purchase up to 5,000,000 additional shares within 12 months.
The deal generated $100 million in gross proceeds for Bitdeer and could raise another $50 million if the additional shares are bought. Bitdeer stated that it intends to utilize the net proceeds to fund its data centre expansion, develop ASIC-based mining rigs, support operational capital, and other general corporate functions.
Linghui Kong, Bitdeer’s Chief Business Officer, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, 
<blockquote class="pullquote align-center">
 “We are thrilled to welcome Tether as a significant investor in Bitdeer. This substantial investment demonstrates confidence in our vision and the strength of our extensive global operations. With Tether’s support, we are poised to accelerate our growth and continue our leadership in sustainable and efficient bitcoin mining.”
</blockquote>
Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, also commented on the collaboration, highlighting the alignment between Bitdeer’s track record, management team, and Tether’s long-term strategic vision. 
<blockquote class="pullquote align-center">
 “We anticipate close collaboration with Bitdeer across several key infrastructure areas moving forward,” 
</blockquote>
Ardoino stated.
This development comes from a growing momentum and investment activity in the Bitcoin mining sector, as companies seek to strengthen their operations, expand capabilities, and solidify their positions in an increasingly competitive market.
