Bitdeer Begins Construction of 180,000-Square-Foot Bitcoin Mining Server Facility in Sparks, Nevada
Bitdeer Technologies Group, a Singapore‑based cryptocurrency mining and artificial‑intelligence cloud infrastructure company, has started building a new manufacturing plant in Sparks, Nevada. The 180,000‑square‑foot facility, located off Pyramid Highway near the Spanish Springs library, is expected to produce 10,000 Bitcoin mining servers per month once it is fully operational in early 2027.
The company said the factory will employ about 70 workers, primarily in high‑pay engineering, skilled‑technician, and support roles. Most of the production line will be automated, but the jobs are intended to provide local employment opportunities in the Reno‑Sparks metropolitan area.
"Sinking our roots in Sparks completes our business strategy," Bitdeer Industrial CEO Catherine Guo told reporters. "We conducted a nationwide search last year and chose Sparks, Nevada for three main reasons: an accessible skilled workforce, robust logistic infrastructure, and a business climate that is extremely friendly." Guo also noted that the Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) has offered Bitdeer more than $488,000 in tax abatements over the next decade.
Bitdeer’s flagship product, the SEALMINER series of mining servers, is designed specifically for the Bitcoin network. The Sparks plant will manufacture the servers but will not host them; Bitdeer’s data centers in Washington, Texas, Tennessee, Ohio, and its U.S. hub in San Jose, California, will run the hardware.
"We will use less than 1,000 gallons of water a day, roughly the consumption of three average households," Bitdeer Industrial Chairman Paul Hanson said. "The facility’s environmental footprint will be significantly smaller than our other sites." Hanson also highlighted a $17 billion investment in U.S. mining operations over the next four years, describing it as a commitment to keeping manufacturing in the United States.
Bitdeer was spun off from Bitmain in January 2021 and is listed on Nasdaq under the ticker BTDR. The company has expanded into AI cloud services through a partnership with Nvidia and has converted some of its mining facilities for AI workloads.
The Sparks facility is part of a broader trend of cryptocurrency companies establishing domestic manufacturing operations. By producing hardware locally, Bitdeer aims to reduce supply‑chain risk and support the U.S. mining ecosystem.
Construction is expected to be completed by early 2027, at which point the plant should begin shipping SEALMINER servers to customers worldwide. The facility’s production capacity of 10,000 units per month positions Bitdeer among the largest manufacturers of Bitcoin mining hardware.
The Nevada GOED’s tax abatements are part of a state‑wide effort to attract technology and manufacturing firms. The company’s receipt of over $488,000 in abatements is consistent with other businesses that have benefited from similar incentives.
Bitdeer’s expansion into Sparks does not alter its existing data‑center footprint. The company will continue to operate its U.S. hubs in Washington, Texas, Tennessee, Ohio, and California, where it already hosts a significant portion of its mining operations.
The project underscores the growing importance of domestic production for cryptocurrency infrastructure. While Bitdeer’s focus remains on Bitcoin mining, the company’s move to build a dedicated manufacturing plant in Nevada may influence other crypto‑hardware firms to consider U.S. locations.
As the facility nears completion, industry observers will monitor its impact on local employment, supply‑chain dynamics, and the broader U.S. mining industry.
The Sparks plant represents a tangible step toward increasing U.S. manufacturing capacity for cryptocurrency hardware, aligning with state incentives and the company’s long‑term investment strategy.
