Bitdeer AI will lease a 65-megawatt data center facility in Johor, Malaysia, securing additional space for its second building at the campus.

Bitdeer AI, a division of Nasdaq-listed Bitdeer Technologies Group, has entered into a ten-year data center services agreement for A202, a 65.1MW facility in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Energization is targeted for Q3 2027. The liquid-cooled campus will host Nvidia’s GB300 and NVL72 hardware, marking the company’s largest single capacity addition in Southeast Asia to date.

A202 shares a campus with Bitdeer’s existing 21.7MW A201 facility, bringing the combined Johor site capacity to 86.8MW. Across all locations, Bitdeer AI’s total secured data center capacity—encompassing owned assets and contractual agreements—now stands at approximately 206.5MW across Malaysia, Norway, and the United States. The company aims to reach 350MW by the first quarter of 2028.

“The signal from customers is unambiguous: demand for liquid-cooled, rack-scale AI Cloud capacity in 2027 is running well ahead of what the market can supply,” said Michael G. Potter, Bitdeer CFO. “A102 sold out ahead of energization, A201 is in advanced negotiations, and our secured AI Cloud data center capacity now stands at approximately 206.5MW. Securing A202 is a direct response to that demand — an incremental 65.1MW on a campus we already have contracted for.”

Originally founded as a cryptocurrency mining operation, Bitdeer has steadily pivoted toward data center and cloud infrastructure services, actively repurposing former mining facilities in Washington, Tennessee, and Norway for AI hosting.

“Johor is where we can move fastest,” said Retainna Lin, VP of AI cloud at Bitdeer AI. “A201 is already secured at the data center level and is scheduled to be ready for service in January 2027, and A202 sits on the same campus — the same power, the same cooling, the same network. That is how we added 65.1MW without originating a new site. For our customers, it means liquid-cooled, rack-scale capacity available in Southeast Asia on a timeline that few providers in this region can offer.”

Separately, Bitdeer recently signed a non-binding letter of intent to develop an AI data center in Bhutan’s Gelephu Mindfulness City. The project targets an initial 30MW of renewable hydro- and solar-powered capacity, with a pathway to expand to 500MW.
