According to PANews, Bitdeer (Nasdaq: BTDR) has announced its intention to privately issue $400 million in Convertible Senior Notes due in 2031. The company is offering initial purchasers an option to increase the issuance by up to $60 million. The interest rate and initial conversion rate will be determined based on pricing, with conversion consideration available in cash, Class A common stock, or a combination of both.

The funds raised are intended for several purposes, including entering into capped call transactions with option counterparties to hedge dilution, repurchasing its 5.25% convertible bonds due in 2029, expanding data centers, developing and manufacturing ASIC mining machines, expanding HPC and AI cloud businesses, and providing operational capital.

Bitdeer is also advancing a registered direct offering to partially repurchase the 2029 convertible bonds, with the completion of related transactions being interdependent.
