Bitdeer Cranks up Bitcoin Mining Power While Rivals Stampede Into AI

Bitdeer Sends Its Own Mining Fleet Into Soluna’s Texas Wind Farm

Under the deal announced Aug. 25, Bitdeer subsidiary Dory Creek will install company-owned Sealminer A2 Pro Air machines at Soluna’s Project Kati 1 in Willacy County. Deployment starts in September and ramps up in batches, putting the hardware inside the facility’s K1BC phase.

Project Kati 1 is an 83 MW wind-powered data center that booked its first gross profit during the second quarter of 2026. The publicly traded firm Soluna currently runs 192 MW of data center capacity across Texas and Kentucky, with another 14 MW under construction at Kati 1 and a development pipeline totaling 6.3 gigawatts.

This is not the usual plug-in-the-miners-and-collect-rent hosting contract. Soluna brings the site, electricity, and daily operations, while Bitdeer owns and supplies the mining machines. Rather than pocketing a straightforward hosting fee, both companies split the bitcoin mining proceeds produced by the deployment.

That puts Soluna closer to the economics of actually mining bitcoin without writing the check for application-specific integrated circuit, or ASIC, machines. Bitdeer gets the opposite advantage, adding computing power without spending years securing land, interconnections and another power site.
