BitFuFu deals with Bitmain to purchase 80,000 Bitcoin mining machines

BitFuFu Inc. has secured a two-year deal to buy up to 80,000 high-performance S-series Bitcoin miners from Bitmain, a leading crypto hardware maker, enabling BitFuFu to expand its mining capacity and cloud services as it targets 1 GW of mining power by 2026.

BitFuFu Inc. a key player in Bitcoin mining, announced a two-year deal to acquire up to 80,000 S-series miners from Bitmain.

The deal allows the mining firm to purchase batches of Bitmain’s S-series miners, such as the S21 XP and S21 Pro, over two years. These miners are known for their durability, high hash rate, and energy efficiency. The purchase order also allows BitFuFu to order in bulk based on market needs and infrastructure.

BitFuFu targets 1GW hashrate by 2026

As part of the agreement, BitFuFu can pay a fraction of the price could be in the form of equity. More importantly, payments are only partly rescheduled with no interest for such a payment defeasance, providing for cash flow while building mining capacity.

The Bitcoin mining industry is undergoing rapid transformation. Leaders are focused on increasing hash rates, reducing energy consumption costs, and liquid assets supporting steady growth.

BitFuFu primarily focuses on the expansion of self-mining and cloud-mining services. The new miners ensure a good supply chain while increasing its hash rate for cloud mining packages.

This deal clears complexities related to mining hardware and institutions that seek Bitcoin-mining exposure. With shared, high-efficiency ASIC miners.

Bitcoin hashrate set to reach 1 zettahash per second by 2027

The halving of Bitcoin in 2024 reduced block rewards, forcing miners to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Projections indicate that the network hash rate may reach 1 zettahash per second by 2027, which will increase competition. 

By 2026, BitFuFU plans to reach a mining capacity of 1 GW. It’s pretty ambitious; in fact, the new deal it signed with Bitmain reflected its plan of having higher hash rates and more cost-effective mining solutions.

Access to 80,000 new mining machines will enhance self-mining and the company’s mining services like hosting, cloud mining, and miner sales. Phased orders in this partnership enable the changes in order according to market fluctuations, especially with Bitcoin’s price volatility.

The two-year agreement that BitFuFu signed with Bitmain reveals the goal of this company: increasing its mining power up to 1 GW by 2026. It is acquiring up to 80,000 S-series miners in order to solve the increasing network difficulty and block rewards.
