On Tuesday, Roth/MKM maintained a Buy rating for Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ: BTDR) stock and significantly raised its price target to $29.00 from the previous $15.00. The firm's decision follows recent discussions with the company's management during the Deer Valley Conference last week. According to InvestingPro data, BTDR has shown remarkable momentum with a 193% return over the past year and a 147% surge in the last six months.
Based on InvestingPro's Fair Value analysis, the stock is currently trading near its Fair Value. Analysts were particularly impressed with the progress Bitdeer is making in High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), as well as the rapid traction of its SEALMINER platform.
Bitdeer's SEALMINER platform has been gaining momentum more quickly than Roth/MKM had anticipated, prompting the firm to adjust its financial models. This adjustment includes the expected revenue from SEALMINER in the second half of 2025 and an increased Bitcoin (BTC) price assumption to $100,000. These changes underpin the new $29 price target for Bitdeer's shares.
The company's initial allocation of 30,000 A2 miners has been fully reserved by customers, which is part of approximately 35 exahash per second (EH/s) of planned production. Due to this initial demand, Bitdeer has decided to double its production capacity from around 18 EH/s to 35 EH/s, although this will depend on market conditions. Roth/MKM also noted Bitdeer's potential to disrupt the current market with its focus on ASIC/Semi hardware design and power efficiency.
The global BTC ASIC hardware market, valued at approximately $9 billion, is forecasted to expand to $26.7 billion by 2031, according to Verified Market Research. Bitdeer's entry into this market, along with its other business areas such as BTC mining and hosting, positions the company as an attractive long-term investment.
InvestingPro analysis reveals that Bitdeer maintains a strong financial position with more cash than debt and a healthy current ratio of 9.44, though investors should note its high price volatility and current RSI suggesting overbought conditions.

The firm also noted that future decisions by President-elect Trump regarding tariffs on Chinese imports could impact the BTC hardware industry, but specific moves remain uncertain.
Lastly, the discussions at the conference indicated that Bitdeer is advancing in its HPC/AI endeavors. Although details about specific sites were not disclosed, there is a strong indication that the company's efforts in the United States are progressing. This multifaceted approach to its business makes Bitdeer an intriguing investment prospect for the coming years.
While the company shows promising revenue growth of 19.6% in the last twelve months, InvestingPro data indicates challenges with profitability and weak gross profit margins of 22.3%.
