That makes the firm behind Tether (USDT), the second-biggest shareholder of the Bitcoin miner’s share, behind Victory Courage., which is registered to Jihan Wu, Bitdeer’s chief executive officer. Prior to his March appointment, Wu was Bitmain’s ex-chief and co-founder.

In a June 6 filing, Tether Holdings Limited divulged that it currently manages 23587360 BTDR shares. The significant rise in its Bitdeer holdings results from a private placement agreement. The deal enabled Bitdeer to generate $100M in financing. Besides, this deal entails a warrant that permits Tether to buy up to 5000000 extra shares at $10 for every share over the next year.
Bitdeer claimed it intends to utilize the earnings to boost its data centers, create ASIC-founded mining rigs, and for general corporate purposes.

Bitcoin has had a long journey to becoming listed on the Nasdaq, where it has been traded under the BTDR ticket since 2023. It went public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger with Blue Safari Group in 2023 following three delays.
The Bitdeer private sale is not the only deal by Tether. On June 5, the USDT issuer revealed a $19M investment in XREC Group, a company supported by the Taiwanese Government National Development Fund. XREC claimed it intends to utilize the funding to create USDT-founded cross-border business-to-business payments and to unveil XAU1, its United States dollar-pegged stablecoin.
XREX Singapore, the startup’s Singapore entity, was offered the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s Major Payment Institution License, which permits it to run as a payment processor in the nation.
