SINGAPORE, Feb. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitdeer Technologies Group (Nasdaq: BTDR) (“ Bitdeer ”), a world-leading technology company for Bitcoin mining and AI infrastructure, today announced the pricing of its registered direct offering of 5,503,030 of its Class A ordinary shares, par value US$0.0000001 per share (the “ Class A ordinary shares ”), to certain holders of its 5.25% convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “ November 2029 notes ”) at a price of US$7.94 per Class A ordinary share in a direct placement registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) (such placement, the “ registered direct offering ”). The registered direct offering is expected to close on February 26, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

Bitdeer estimates that the net proceeds from the registered direct offering will be approximately US$43.5 million, after deducting the estimated offering expenses payable by Bitdeer. Bitdeer estimates that the net proceeds from Bitdeer’s separately announced private offering (the “ notes offering ”) of 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 (the “ notes ”) will be approximately US$315.1 million (or approximately US$363.7 million if the initial purchasers in the notes offering fully exercise their option to purchase additional notes), after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by Bitdeer.

Bitdeer intends to use the net proceeds from the registered direct offering and the notes offering: (i) to pay the approximately US$29.2 million cost of the capped call transactions that Bitdeer entered into with one of the initial purchasers or its affiliate and other financial institutions (the “ option counterparties ”); and (ii) to pay the approximately US$138.2 million cost of repurchasing for cash US$135.0 million aggregate principal amount of Bitdeer’s 5.25% convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “ November 2029 notes ”) (including accrued and unpaid interest) in privately negotiated transactions effected through its agent (the “ note repurchase transactions ”). Bitdeer intends to use the remaining net proceeds from the registered direct offering and the notes offering for datacenter expansion, HPC and AI cloud business expansion, ASIC based mining rig development and manufacture, as well as working capital and other general corporate purposes. If the initial purchasers in the notes offering exercise their option to purchase additional notes, Bitdeer intends to use net proceeds from the sale of the additional notes to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties and the remaining net proceeds for datacenter expansion, HPC and AI cloud business expansion, ASIC based mining rig development and manufacture, as well as working capital and other general corporate purposes as described above.

The completion of the registered direct offering is contingent on the completion of the notes offering and the note repurchase transactions, and the completion of the note repurchase transactions is contingent on the completion of the notes offering and the registered direct offering. The completion of the notes offering is not contingent on the completion of the registered direct offering or the note repurchase transactions. This press release shall not constitute an offer to buy or a solicitation of an offer to sell the November 2029 notes.
