Bitdeer AI has signed a 10-year data center services agreement for the 65.1MW A202 facility in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. The liquid-cooled facility will host Nvidia GB300 and NVL72 systems and is Bitdeer’s largest single capacity addition in Southeast Asia. Located alongside the 21.7MW A201 facility, the Johor campus will have 86.8MW of capacity. Bitdeer AI now has about 206.5MW of secured capacity across Malaysia, Norway, and the US, with a target of 350MW by Q1 2028.
“The signal from customers is unambiguous: demand for liquid-cooled, rack-scale AI Cloud capacity in 2027 is running well ahead of what the market can supply,” said Michael G. Potter, Bitdeer CFO. “A102 sold out ahead of energization, A201 is in advanced negotiations, and our secured AI Cloud data center capacity now stands at approximately 206.5MW. Securing A202 is a direct response to that demand — an incremental 65.1MW on a campus we already have contracted for.”
Bitdeer began as a cryptocurrency mining company but has increasingly shifted toward data centers and cloud services. It is converting mining facilities in Washington, Tennessee, and Norway for AI hosting.
The company also recently signed a non-binding agreement to develop an AI data center in Bhutan’s Gelephu Mindfulness City, starting with 30MW of renewable hydro and solar power and potentially expanding to 500MW.
“Johor is where we can move fastest,” said Retainna Lin, VP of AI cloud at Bitdeer AI. “A201 is already secured at the data center level and is scheduled to be ready for service in January 2027, and A202 sits on the same campus — the same power, the same cooling, the same network. That is how we added 65.1MW without originating a new site. For our customers, it means liquid-cooled, rack-scale capacity available in Southeast Asia on a timeline that few providers in this region can offer.”
