Bitdeer Technologies Group ( BTDR ) shares are trading lower in Tuesday’s after-hours session after the company announced a proposed private placement of convertible senior notes.

What Happened: Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) mining company Bitdeer ( BTDR ) announced plans to offer $300 million of convertible senior notes due 2031 in a private placement to institutional buyers. The company plans to grant the initial purchasers a 13-day window to purchase up to an additional $45 million of the notes.

Bitdeer ( BTDR ) expects to use a portion of the proceeds to pay the cost of a zero-strike call option transaction and to pay the cash consideration for concurrent note exchange transactions that involve privately negotiated agreements with one or more holders of 8.5% convertible senior notes due 2029.

The remaining proceeds will be used for data center expansions and ASIC-based mining rig development and manufacturing.

Bitdeer ( BTDR ) had $215.6 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, as well as a total crypto balance of $131.1 million.

“Further, in May, we sold and shipped approximately 1.6 EH/s of our SEALMINER A2s to external customers. Our A3 Series will also be released and available for pre-order very soon,” the company said last week.
