Fire at Bitdeer Ohio Bitcoin mining facility; no injuries reported

Published at 2025-11-12 17:10:41

A fire occurred at Bitdeer’s bitcoin mining facility in Ohio on Tuesday; company and local emergency services reported no injuries and say the blaze is under control. Details on the cause and extent of equipment damage remain limited as crews secure the site and Bitdeer assesses operational impact.

The incident arrives amid market turbulence for the firm — Bitdeer’s shares fell over 30% after its third-quarter earnings release earlier the same day — raising fresh investor concerns about execution and capital strain. While a single-site outage is unlikely to meaningfully affect the Bitcoin network’s overall hash rate, the event matters for Bitdeer’s near-term production, repair costs and market confidence; updates on downtime and insurance coverage will be watched closely.
