Bitdeer Technologies Group announced that its SEAL03 chip has achieved a record efficiency of 9.7 joules per terahash (J/TH) in testing, and also confirmed its intention to begin mass production of Sealminer A3 mining rigs in late 2025.

With 9.7 J/TH Reached, Bitdeer Brings Sealminer A3 Launch Closer to 2025

The SEAL03 chip, designed for the next-generation Bitdeer Sealminer A3 machines, has achieved an efficiency of 9.7 J/TH during prototype testing under low voltage and high power savings. This represents a significant step forward in improving the energy efficiency of Bitcoin mining hardware, an important aspect in the face of shrinking margins in the industry.

The Sealminer A3 is expected to enter mass production in the second half of 2025, allowing Bitdeer to compete aggressively in the high-efficiency mining rig market. The company is also continuing to work on the Sealminer A4, which is targeting 5 J/TH efficiency, with the initial launch of the chip scheduled for Q3 2025.

Infrastructure expansion is underway to support these advances. The 100 MW hydro-chiller plant in Rockdale, Texas, began phased power delivery in March 2025, and more than 500 Sealminer AI units are already operational. In Norway, the 40 MW Tydal Phase 1 project is close to regulatory approval, while the 500 MW Jigmeling facility in Bhutan is on track to complete substation construction by the end of March 2025.

Bitdeer management noted that using a global portfolio of 2.6 GW of capacity will enable scaling of high-performance computing and artificial intelligence (AI) projects. The company reiterated its commitment to the chip roadmap and infrastructure plans, highlighting ongoing discussions with U.S. partners on major projects.

The company will provide updates at several investor conferences through May 2025, including the ROTH Growth Conference and Bitcoin 2025.
