Bitdeer (NASDAQ: BTDR) Receives $100M Investment From Stablecoin Leader Tether International Limited

–News Direct–

By Gerelyn Terzo, Benzinga

Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ: BTDR), a Bitcoin mining and AI cloud solutions company led by industry pioneer Jihan Wu, has received a potentially game-changing capital injection from one of the blockchain industrys earliest stablecoin projects.

Tether International Limited, a stablecoin backed by fiat currencies including the dollar, has purchased a $100 million position in Bitdeer. (Stablecoins are digital assets that are pegged or tied to more stable instruments, like the U.S. dollar, making them less volatile and more attractive for use cases like payments.)

The financing, which took the form of a private placement that closed in May, comprises 18,587,360 of Bitdeers Class A ordinary shares and a warrant to purchase up to 5,000,000 more at $10.00 per share. Cantor Fitzgerald served as the placement agent for the deal. In addition to the $100 million Bitdeer already received from the share issuance, the company could potentially see another $50 million if the warrant, which is exercisable at Tethers discretion for 12 months, is fully exercised.

While Tethers percentage equity stake in Bitdeer remains unclear, investors cheered the development, sending BTDR shares nearly 7% higher in response. Bitdeer Chief Business Officer Linghui Kong welcomed Tether as a significant investor in the company, saying:

This substantial investment demonstrates confidence in our vision and the strength of our extensive global operations. With Tether's support, we are poised to accelerate our growth and continue our leadership in sustainable and efficient Bitcoin mining.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino expressed his delight to be partnering with Bitdeer, as it catapults his company closer to its Bitcoin mining aspirations. Tether has reportedly earmarked $500 million in preparation for its own Bitcoin mining operations, having broken ground on the development of facilities in Uruguay, Paraguay and El Salvador.

We regard Bitdeer as one of the strongest vertically integrated operators in the Bitcoin mining industry, differentiated by its cutting-edge technologies, and a robust R&D organization, he said.

Bitdeer plans to direct the proceeds from the capital injection, which closed on May 30, toward powering its aggressive data center expansion and advancing the development of its ASIC-based Bitcoin mining rigsin a post-Bitcoin-halving environment, which might typically ushers in a bull market for Bitcoin.

ASICs or application-specific integrated circuits are chips that are specifically made for Bitcoin mining as opposed to CPUs and GPUs, whose design is more general in nature. Bitdeers Wu has been instrumental in ASIC miner innovation, leading to higher performance and greater efficiency in the Bitcoin mining process.

Bitdeer Strategically Positioning Itself For Next Bitcoin Mining Wave

Bitcoin mining is the process by which the Bitcoin blockchain is secured and new bitcoins are created. The process mimics that of physically mining for resources like gold from the ground, explaining how it earned its name. With the Bitcoin price hovering near $70,000, the next wave of Bitcoin mining is starting to ramp up as obsolete and inefficient equipment is replaced with the latest technology.

As one of the biggest publicly traded Bitcoin miners on the planet, Bitdeer boasts six Bitcoin mining facilities globally, including U.S. facilities in the states of Washington, Tennessee and Texas. Bitdeer was on track to begin construction of its 221MW data center in Ohio in April. The company is also in the midst of a 175MW expansion at its Tydal, Norway, immersion cooling data center, the construction of which is expected to be completed by mid-2025. Additionally, Bitdeer is expanding its operations in Bhutan, where its focused on the development of greenfield operations, including carbon-free digital asset mining.

Considering the massive amounts of computing power involved in mining Bitcoin, Bitdeer is dedicated to renewable, carbon-free and stable energy sources setting an example for other mining companies to emulate.

The financing from Tether marks the beginning of what the management teams expect will become a close collaboration across multiple key infrastructure areas for the foreseeable future. Investors who are bullish on the future of sustainable Bitcoin mining might want to keep an eye on the leaders in this industry.

Emerging Base Ecosystem Token MONK Gains Traction with Community-Led Airdrops and Staking

Published

on

A new memecoin titled MONK, built on the Base network, is quickly gaining momentum through an ecosystem that merges meme culture with active utility. The token, themed around a blue monkey character, has generated attention through consistent airdrop programs, staking incentives, and a growing cross-project strategy involving its partner token, DORGO.

Unlike many ephemeral meme tokens, MONK is structured with an emphasis on user participation. It features:

  •    3% buy/sell fees directed toward sustainability
  •    Liquidity staking rewards via a custom LP farm
  •    Airdrops to token holders and ecosystem participants
  •    A future roadmap involving NFT integrations and Base-native collaborations

The project has positioned itself as part of a broader narrative on Base, embracing memetic storytelling while introducing on-chain mechanics typically seen in more utility-based assets.

Recent activity includes:

  •    Weekly airdrop campaigns distributed to LP stakers and holders
  •    A meme contest designed to expand social visibility across platforms like X (Twitter) and Telegram
  •    A DAO structure planned under its partner project DORGO, with future governance tie-ins anticipated

With consistent on-chain volume, organic community engagement, and integrations into Base’s growing DeFi landscape, MONK is beginning to establish itself as more than a typical meme token instead acting as a social anchor in a developing network of interlinked projects.

BoostARA Transforming the Global Sports Industry Through Web3 and Computing Power Incentives

BoostARA: Transforming the Global Sports Industry Through Web3 and Computing Power Incentives

With the global sports industry valued at over USD 600 billion and rapidly shifting toward digital and decentralized models, the market is entering a historic window for disruption and value creation.

As global audiences accelerate their migration to Web3, the sports industry is undergoing an unprecedented digital transformation. BoostARA emerges as the world’s first protocol to integrate “Web3 Sports × Computing Power Incentives,” reshaping the perception of sports value and establishing a new, on-chain sports economy.

Zoom image will be displayed

Guided by its core philosophy — “Exercise as Rights, Data as Assets, Participation as Value” — BoostARA is building a Web3-powered network defined by multi-dimensional participation, decentralized governance, and continuous community-driven incentives.

A. Dual Growth Engines: Technology and Mechanism Innovation

Unlike traditional Move-to-Earn (M2E) models, BoostARA introduces an innovative combination of on-chain incentives and computing power economics. Through mechanisms such as Base Computing Power + Referral Incentives + Tiered Team Computing Power, the platform achieves viral user growth and optimized reward distribution.

Leveraging AI recognition, oracle verification, and smart contracts, sports activities — including running, cycling, and ball games — are verified in real time and converted into on-chain assets, creating a closed-loop value cycle where exercise becomes assets.

BoostARA also implements a dual-layer DAO governance model, giving users direct influence over ecosystem development — from operational decisions and event arrangements to NFT issuance and virtual club management — ensuring a decentralized, community-built sports economy.

B. Multi-Layered Incentives Driving Sustainable Growth

To drive adoption and long-term engagement, BoostARA has designed a comprehensive reward framework covering:

– Static computing power mining

– Dynamic referral incentives

– Node dividends

– Tiered team-based bonuses

The platform’s native token, ARA, underpins this incentive model. Its economic framework incorporates:

– Daily emission reduction

– Transaction slippage control

– Liquidity pool dividends

– Token burning mechanisms

This model ensures healthy token circulation and a long-term deflationary trend.

Token Economics (Total Supply: 300 billion ARA):

– Mining Output: 295 billion

– Market Incentives: 3 billion

– Market Control: 1 billion

– Initial Liquidity: 1 billion

C. An Integrated Web3 Sports Ecosystem

Built on four core pillars — On-chain Sports × NFTs × Community Governance × Token Incentives — BoostARA’s ecosystem includes:

– BoostMove — On-chain sports data recognition

– BoostCard — NFT sports star cards

– BoostDAO — Governance and voting infrastructure

– BoostVault — Computing power incentive pool

Together, these components form a complete value chain, from activity tracking and asset creation to governance participation and reward distribution.

D. Strategic Partnerships

BoostARA collaborates with:

– Global sports organizations and clubs from Europe’s top five leagues

– BOOSTARA Investment Group

– Sports platforms such as 188 Sports and SABA Sports

– Web3 infrastructure and AI providers including BSC, TokenPocket, Feixiaohao, MetaMask, DeepSeek, Chainlink, and OpenAI API partners.

E. A New Paradigm for Sports Value

BoostARA is more than a technological innovation — it is a digital renaissance of sportsmanship. Through blockchain and decentralized governance, BoostARA ensures that the passion and dedication of every athlete and fan are recognized and rewarded.

As the global sports industry enters a new era of digitization, tokenization, and collaborative governance, BoostARA — powered by technology and community — aims to redefine sports value and co-create the future of the digital sports economy.
