<p class="has-drop-cap">Bitdeer, a crypto mining firm founded by crypto tycoon Jihan Wu, is set to go public on Nasdaq on April 14th through a merger with a Special Acquisition Purpose Company (SPAC), the company <a aria-label="announced in a statement (opens in a new tab)" href="https://app.quotemedia.com/data/downloadFiling?webmasterId=90423&amp;ref=317400428&amp;type=HTML&amp;symbol=BSGAU&amp;cdn=6944e8b91081b876f64f2ffa790ece8a&amp;companyName=Blue+Safari+Group+Acquisition+Corp.+Unit&amp;formType=425&amp;formDescription=Prospectuses+and+communications%2C+business+combinations&amp;dateFiled=2023-04-11" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">announced in a statement</a>.

<h3 id="bitdeer-shares-will-start-trading-on-friday-under-the-btdr-ticker">Bitdeer Shares Will Start Trading on Friday Under the “BTDR” Ticker</h3> 
<p>Crypto miner Bitdeer Technologies said it would debut on the Nasdaq stock exchange on April 14, the company announced Tuesday. The Singapore-based mining firm will go public through a $4 billion SPAC deal, which has been delayed multiple times.</p> 
<p>Bitdeer will complete the business combination with the SPAC Blue Safari Group Acquisition on April 13, while the crypto miner’s shares will debut on Nasadaq a day later under the ticker symbol “BTDR.” A SPAC, also known as a blank check company, is a publicly traded investment vehicle that raises funds through an initial public offering (IPO) to acquire an existing private company and take it public. <a aria-label="Blue Safari went public (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/blue-safari-group-acquisition-corp-announces-pricing-of-50-million-initial-public-offering-301309543.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">Blue Safari went public</a> in June last year, raising more than $57 million via the IPO.</p> 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 <p>“We are already a leading hash rate supplier, and our public listing will allow us to make even greater contributions to the crypto economy. Looking ahead, we are well-positioned to generate sustainable value as we execute our long-term business strategy.”</p> <cite>– said Linghui Kong, Chief Executive Officer of Bitdeer.</cite>

<p>Several crypto companies opted for the SPAC route to go public in recent years. In 2021, bitcoin miner <a aria-label="Core Scientific went public (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/crypto-miner-core-scientific-go-public-via-43-bln-spac-deal-2021-07-21/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">Core Scientific went public</a> through a merger with a SPAC backed by BlackRock, the world’s biggest asset manager.

<p>Bitdeer also grappled with the cold <a href="https://tokenist.com/over-12000-cryptocurrencies-have-one-month-of-no-trading-volume-in-2022/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">crypto winter</a> winds last year, reporting a net loss of $25 million in the first half of 2022, compared to a $113.8 million profit a year ago. Jihan Wu, a billionaire cryptocurrency entrepreneur from China, founded Bitdeer. Bitdeer was spun off from Bitmain, a bitcoin mining giant Wu co-founded in 2013.</p>
