Bitdeer is bringing a major piece of Bitcoin mining hardware manufacturing to the United States with a new $36 million SEALMINER production facility in Sparks, Nevada.

The 187,000-square-foot electronics plant is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026 and is designed to produce as many as 10,000 SEALMINER machines per month. At that stated monthly rate, the factory would have a nominal production pace of 120,000 machines per year if sustained continuously.

A U.S. factory for Bitcoin mining hardware

According to Bitdeer’s announcement, the Sparks project represents its first domestic manufacturing and assembly footprint. The investment covers the plant, equipment and construction and is expected to create about 70 jobs across engineering, skilled technician and support roles.

For Bitcoin mining, the significance extends beyond the building itself. Bitdeer operates mining data centers while also designing its own SEAL-series chips and SEALMINER machines. Adding U.S. assembly gives the company another link in a vertically integrated chain stretching from ASIC development to finished mining hardware and deployment.

SEALMINER A4 pushes below 10 J/TH

The factory arrives as Bitdeer expands its latest A4 generation. The company’s A4 specifications rate the flagship SEALMINER A4 Ultra Hydro at 886 TH/s, 8,372.7 watts and 9.45 J/TH. The A4 Pro Hydro is rated at 680 TH/s and 10.9 J/TH, while the air-cooled A4 Pro Air is rated at 336 TH/s and 10.9 J/TH.

Those specifications make the manufacturing story an infrastructure story as well. Sub-10 J/TH hardware can place substantially more SHA-256 compute behind a fixed amount of electrical capacity than older mining generations. Hydro-cooled machines also require sites designed around water loops, heat exchangers, pumps and dense electrical distribution rather than conventional fan-cooled racks alone.

Bitdeer’s own fleet is already enormous

Bitdeer’s June operational update reported approximately 73 EH/s of self-mining hashrate, 15.9 EH/s of co-mining hashrate and 243,000 self-mining rigs. The company mined 990 BTC during June and reported 3.0 GW of global energy capacity.

That scale gives Bitdeer a potential internal destination for its own machines in addition to external customers. The company has said internal manufacturing can avoid third-party hardware markups when SEALMINER rigs are deployed into its own fleet.

10,000 miners per month is serious manufacturing capacity

The stated 10,000-unit monthly capacity is especially notable because mining-machine output translates rapidly into exahash-scale compute. The exact hashrate represented by the plant’s output will depend on which SEALMINER models are manufactured and the production mix, so the factory’s unit capacity should not be treated as a fixed EH/s figure.

Still, the project illustrates how Bitcoin mining competition is moving deeper into semiconductor design, electronics manufacturing, cooling and supply-chain control. Mining companies are no longer competing only on electricity price and access to sites. Hardware efficiency and the ability to source or manufacture machines are becoming strategic infrastructure advantages.

Nevada becomes part of the ASIC supply chain

Bitdeer says locating production in Nevada will improve supply-chain resilience and responsiveness to U.S. customers. The Sparks location also places mining-hardware manufacturing inside a growing Western U.S. electronics and data-infrastructure corridor.

For an industry historically dependent on Asian ASIC manufacturing and long international logistics chains, domestic final manufacturing and assembly could shorten delivery paths for U.S. operators. How much of the complete SEALMINER supply chain becomes domestic will depend on where chips, boards and other components are fabricated and sourced, so the Nevada project should not be interpreted as making every component American-made.

What is clear is that Bitdeer is investing in the physical ability to manufacture Bitcoin mining computers at industrial scale in the United States. If the Sparks plant reaches its planned 10,000-machine monthly capacity, it will give one of the world’s largest mining operators a significant domestic hardware-production base alongside its expanding self-mining fleet.
