Bitdeer, a US-based publicly traded crypto mining technology company, has set a new production record. According to its latest operational update, Bitdeer mined a total of 661 bitcoins for its own portfolio in March 2026. This figure represents a massive 480 percent increase compared to the same month last year, underscoring Bitdeer’s growing clout as one of the most influential players in the rapidly expanding crypto mining sector.
Leaders in the hashrate race
Currently, Bitdeer operates about 225,000 out of 262,000 machines exclusively for its proprietary mining activities. The firm is focused on expanding its global energy capacity up to 3 gigawatts. By the end of March, Bitdeer’s self-owned bitcoin mining power had reached roughly 70 exahashes per second (EH/s)—a remarkable 504 percent jump from the previous year—cementing its position among the world’s top bitcoin miners in terms of computing power.
The total hashrate under Bitdeer’s management climbed to 78.1 EH/s as of March 2026, up from 71 EH/s at year-end. Its direct competitor MARA currently reports a hashrate of 66.4 EH/s, while CleanSpark lags behind with 47.3 EH/s. Globally, the bitcoin network’s total hashrate stands at around 855 EH/s, reflecting a slight decrease from the start of the year but remaining well above previous years’ averages.
“This momentum demonstrates both the market’s potential and our effectiveness in delivering high-performance AI infrastructure,” explained Matt Kong, Bitdeer’s Head of Business Development.
Investments and latest generation machines
Bitdeer continues to expand its fleet with the latest high-efficiency mining devices. The company is in the final phase of integrating its SEALMINER A4 series into its own operations. The A4 line stands out with an energy efficiency of approximately 9.45 joules per terahash (J/T). The newly launched SEALMINER DL1 Air, introduced in March, is specifically designed for networks such as Litecoin and Dogecoin that utilize the Scrypt algorithm.
With these new machines, Bitdeer expects significant gains in both energy efficiency and processing capability. Usage rates for the company’s AI Cloud services have reached 94 percent, pushing annual revenue potential in this segment past $43 million and delivering a 105 percent increase in monthly growth.
Growth at CleanSpark and Canaan
Another key player, CleanSpark, mined 658 bitcoins in March, bringing its year-to-date total to 1,799 bitcoins. By month’s end, CleanSpark’s self-owned mining power stood at 50 EH/s. The company manages over 1.8 gigawatts of energy, land, and data center infrastructure in the US, with 808 megawatts actively in operation.
CleanSpark CEO Matt Schultz noted the company is moving beyond mining, preparing to secure its first major client in artificial intelligence and high-performance computing.
Meanwhile, Canaan produced 89 bitcoins in March. The company’s digital asset holdings reached 1,808 BTC and 3,952 ETH by month’s end. Canaan’s operational hashrate now totals 10.97 EH/s, bolstered by an additional 4.4 EH/s from a joint venture with Cipher Mining. In February, Canaan acquired a 49 percent stake in Cipher’s three Texas mining facilities, further strengthening its infrastructure.
Canaan has boosted its installed energy capacity globally to 266.3 megawatts. Thanks to its Texas partnership, the company adds another 120 megawatts to its portfolio in West Texas.
