Bitdeer Technologies just put shovels in the ground on what could become one of the most important crypto mining hardware factories in the United States. The NASDAQ-listed company broke ground on July 9 on a $36 million manufacturing facility in Sparks, Nevada, designed to churn out up to 10,000 SEALMINER mining rigs every month.

For a company founded by Jihan Wu, the co-founder of Bitmain, this is a full-circle moment. Instead of relying on overseas factories, Bitdeer is bringing ASIC production to American soil.

What’s actually being built

The facility spans 187,000 square feet. Bitdeer expects to have it operational by the end of 2026, and the lease on the site from Dermody Properties was signed in December 2025.

The SEALMINER line uses proprietary ASIC chips designed in-house by Bitdeer, engineered specifically for high-efficiency digital asset mining and AI workloads.
