Lucky Wang's questions to Bitdeer Technologies Group (BTDR) leadership • Q4 2024
Question
Lucky Wang asked about the length of the wafer prepayment cycle with TSMC. He also expressed concern that potential stock dilution from the $1B ATM program could affect the company's ability to fund future wafer orders and asked about alternative financing methods.
Answer
Chairman and CEO Jihan Wu stated the prepayment cycle for wafers is four months in advance. He then elaborated that the company is not solely reliant on the ATM for financing, citing multiple avenues including convertible bonds, credit lines, selling mining rigs, and using cash flow from mining operations. He emphasized the high-return nature of the business and the strong cash and inventory position at year-end provide flexibility.
