This information comes from<a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-01/northern-data-weighs-ai-unit-us-ipo-at-up-to-16-billion-value" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> a Bloomberg report</a> published on July 1, citing sources familiar with the matter.
According to the report, executives at Northern Data, Europe’s largest Bitcoin miner by market capitalization, have begun discussions with several advisors regarding the IPO. The company is considering listing its “Taiga” and “Ardent” entities, which encompass its cloud computing and data centre operations, on the Nasdaq in the first half of 2025.
The IPO is expected to value the entity between $10 billion and $16 billion. Bloomberg’s sources suggested that the Frankfurt-headquartered company might sell a minority stake in the unit to investors ahead of the listing.
Northern Data’s shareholder base includes notable figures such as Galaxy Digital founder Mike Novogratz, as well as investment firm Cryptology Asset Group and EOS developer Block.one.
This isn’t Northern Data’s first attempt at a U.S. listing. In February 2021, the company<a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-02-22/bitcoin-mine-operator-is-said-to-plot-dual-listing-via-u-s-ipo" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> reportedly</a> explored the possibility of listing its cryptocurrency mining business through an IPO in the U.S. At that time, it collaborated with Swiss investment bank Credit Suisse; however, the plan did not materialize.
This development aligns with the ongoing expansion and evolution of the cryptocurrency mining sector, with major players seeking to capitalize on market opportunities and optimize their operations in an increasingly competitive landscape.
In related industry news, Bitcoin mining company Bitfarm recently<a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://defi-planet.com/2024/06/bitfarms-to-build-major-120-megawatt-bitcoin-mining-facility-in-the-u-s/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> announced</a> plans to construct a 120-megawatt mining infrastructure in Sharon, Pennsylvania. According to the company, the proposed location—within the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection (PJM)—is strategic, as it provides access to a competitive electricity supply. Bitfarm claims it will allow it to optimize its corporate electricity costs and diversify revenue streams.
