Welcome back to The Mining Pod! This week we are joined by Brandon Bailey (a.k.a. Bitcoin Beezy), a co-founder of Second Gate advisory and a former VP of mining at Galaxy Digital, to discuss his recent research note on Bitdeer. He argues that the public miner, which is sometimes overlooked for some combination of language barriers and the team’s geographic distance from North America, is massively undervalued. He digs into Bitdeer’s bitcoin mining business and its burgeoning ASIC miner manufacturing line to make the case that the company deserves a valuation comparable to Riot, Marathon, CleanSpark, and Core Scientific.
