Chain: Bitdeer commits Malaysian GPU capacity to tenants → contracted AI cloud revenue replaces hashprice exposure → utilization rises across Johor data centers → financing terms improve on contracted cash flows
What would break the call: A tenant cancels or delays the Johor commitment, leaving capacity unleased and build-out capital stranded.
▼ CORZ Core Scientific — impact -75 · confidence low · horizon immediate · 2nd order
Core Scientific loses AI cloud hosting volume to Bitdeer after its Malaysia capacity commitment.
Chain: Bitdeer adds contracted AI hosting capacity → AI hosting supply broadens across operators → tenants gain negotiating leverage on new deals → Core Scientific hosting pricing and pipeline soften
What would break the call: Core Scientific signs a large new AI hosting contract at firm pricing, showing demand exceeds supply.
▼ AMZN Amazon — impact -60 · confidence low · horizon quarters · 3rd order
Amazon experiences reduced cloud revenue growth due to competition from Bitdeer AI cloud expansion.
Chain: Bitdeer offers low cost Asian GPU capacity → some AI training workloads move to neoclouds → hyperscaler GPU rental growth slows marginally → AWS incremental cloud revenue growth eases
What would break the call: AWS reports accelerating AI revenue and capacity constraints, showing neocloud supply is not a substitute.

Supermicro supplies liquid-cooled GPU servers for Bitdeer’s Malaysian AI cloud expansion, increasing rack-scale system sales.
Chain: Bitdeer builds liquid cooled GPU halls → operator orders rack scale server systems → Supermicro books high density rack revenue → server segment volumes rise
What would break the call: Bitdeer sources racks from Dell or ODM suppliers instead, removing the Supermicro order flow.
▲ VRT Vertiv — impact +55 · confidence high · horizon quarters · 2nd order
Vertiv sells liquid cooling and power equipment as Bitdeer converts Malaysian mining halls into high-density GPU data centers.
Chain: mining halls convert to high density GPU racks → power and thermal density per rack rises → operator buys liquid cooling and power distribution → Vertiv orders and backlog increase
What would break the call: Bitdeer selects competing cooling vendors such as Munters or local integrators for Malaysian sites.
▲ AMD AMD — impact +55 · confidence low · horizon weeks · 2nd order
AMD increases volume of AI processors shipped for use in Bitdeer Malaysia cloud services.
Chain: Bitdeer expands AI cloud fleet → operator seeks accelerator supply diversity → MI-series shipments into neocloud deployments → AMD data center revenue rises

▲ IREN IREN — impact +55 · confidence low · horizon weeks · 3rd order
Contracted takeup at a peer validates miner to AI conversion demand, supporting IREN pricing on new capacity leases.
Chain: peer signs contracted AI capacity commitment → market re-rates miner to AI conversion model → IREN leasing pricing power improves → valuation multiple on contracted megawatts expands
What would break the call: An AI capacity glut emerges and GPU rental spot rates fall sharply across operators.
▼ MSFT Microsoft — impact -50 · confidence low · horizon quarters · 3rd order
Microsoft sees lower Azure AI revenue after Bitdeer secures commitments for cloud capacity.
Chain: additional third party GPU capacity enters market → price sensitive AI workloads shift to neoclouds → Azure captures marginally less incremental demand → Azure AI revenue growth eases slightly
What would break the call: Microsoft guides Azure AI growth higher while citing capacity shortages rather than competition.
▲ APLD Applied Digital — impact +50 · confidence low · horizon weeks · 3rd order
Applied Digital gains comparable evidence that tenants sign long term GPU capacity, strengthening its leasing pipeline and financing terms.
Chain: peer proves tenants sign long term GPU leases → lenders accept contracted capacity as collateral → Applied Digital financing terms improve → leasing pipeline converts faster
What would break the call: A major AI tenant defaults or renegotiates a lease, tightening financing for all build-to-suit operators.
▲ MU Micron — impact +50 · confidence low · horizon weeks · 3rd order
Micron lifts revenue from high bandwidth memory chips for AI servers in Bitdeer expansion.
Chain: Bitdeer orders GPU servers for Malaysia → each accelerator carries high bandwidth memory stacks → HBM demand tightens at suppliers → Micron HBM revenue and pricing rise
What would break the call: HBM supply expands faster than demand and contract pricing falls in the next negotiation round.
▲ WULF TeraWulf — impact +48 · confidence low · horizon weeks · 3rd order
TeraWulf sees converted power sites repriced on contracted AI cash flows instead of volatile hashprice, easing capital costs.
Chain: peer converts power sites to AI contracts → investors reprice miners on contracted cash flows → TeraWulf cost of capital falls → expansion financing becomes cheaper
What would break the call: Credit markets close to crypto-adjacent issuers and TeraWulf financing spreads widen instead.
▼ CRWV CoreWeave — impact -46 · confidence low · horizon quarters · 2nd order
CoreWeave faces added GPU rental supply from low cost power sites, pressuring contract pricing on new capacity.
Chain: Bitdeer adds low cost GPU rental supply → Asian and global rental capacity expands → spot and contract GPU rates soften → CoreWeave pricing on new contracts compresses
What would break the call: CoreWeave announces another multi-billion backlog contract at stable pricing, showing demand absorbs new supply.
▲ NVDA Nvidia — impact +46 · confidence high · horizon quarters · 2nd order
Nvidia supplies GPUs for Bitdeer’s Malaysian AI cloud expansion, extending accelerator orders into next year.
Chain: Bitdeer builds GPU clusters in Johor → operator places accelerator orders with Nvidia → incremental neocloud demand extends order book → data center revenue visibility improves
