How BitFuFu's 1GW Global Capacity Expansion Plan Can Help Move Crypto Into A New Landscape

Over the past week, concerns about the tariff war have been lingering in the minds of global investors, and President Trump’s seemingly capricious style of doing things has exacerbated market volatility. At the same time, the latest non-farm payroll data and the University of Michigan consumer survey have clouded the outlook for the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cuts. Trump may not give the market a chance to blink in the coming week, and further news of his tariff plans will continue to draw close attention.

In the long term, most practitioners in the crypto market remain bullish on Bitcoin, but in the short term, the crypto market may continue to be volatile under Trump’s influence. Which enterprises will be able to weather the volatile cycle?

With a potential new growth cycle for cryptocurrencies heating up, digital asset mining company BitFuFu FUFU has been preparing to take advantage of a bull cycle with its 1GW Global Capacity Expansion Plan, which the company said will lead the platform and its users to a new era of efficient mining.

Growth Formulas For Top-Tier Mining Companies

Established mining companies such as MARA Holdings Inc. MARA, CleanSpark Inc. CLSK and Riot Platforms Inc. RIOT have adopted diverse strategies – some focusing on mining, acquiring and holding cryptocurrency, while others pivot toward AI. In contrast, BitFuFu reports it has developed an adaptable strategy that seamlessly integrates self-mining and cloud mining.

As of January 31, 2025, BitFuFu says it held 1,742 bitcoins, demonstrating its growth in self-mining capacity and making it among the leading listed mining companies in Asia in terms of the number of BTC held.

Additionally, its cloud mining platform has attracted nearly 600,000 users, positioning BitFuFu as one of the global leaders in the space. The company's proprietary software allows BitFuFu to dynamically allocate its hash rate between cloud-mining and self-mining. The company's cloud mining business provides steady cash flow to fund continued growth and expansion of the self-mining operation, creating what BitFuFu says is a stable and efficient operational and financial ecosystem.

This innovative and flexible approach shows directly in its financial performance. In the third quarter of 2024, the company posted a 47% year-on-year increase in revenue to $90.3 million, an 89% increase in total mining capacity under management and a 75% increase in cloud mining registered users. 

How To Achieve The 1GW Plan

The operational capabilities of mining companies are primarily determined by factors such as hash rate capacity and electricity costs. By the end of 2024, BitFuFu managed 23.5 EH/s of hash rate and hosted 551 MW of capacity. The company reports that this growth has positioned it among the top-tier players in the global digital mining industry.

To meet the growing hash rate demands of its users and platform, BitFuFu has been actively pursuing cost-efficient and sustainable energy sources on a global scale. Since October last year, the company has made significant strides, including acquiring majority ownership in a company for an 80MW mining site in Ethiopia, entering into long-term leases – which include an option to purchase for two facilities in the United States with a combined 33MW – and signing a letter of intent to acquire a majority ownership interest in a 51MW site in Oklahoma. These developments are part of its 1GW Global Capacity Expansion Plan aimed at optimizing operational efficiency and reducing costs.

In response to the market’s shortage of high-performance mining machines, BitFuFu has taken a proactive approach by securing critical mining infrastructure. In early 2025, the company announced the signing of a two-year framework agreement with Bitmain to procure up to 80,000 S-Series mining machines – marking what the company reports is the largest mining equipment purchase deal of the year. This strategic investment could be poised to have a transformative impact on BitFuFu. The company shares that public data estimates that these machines could add 20–30 EH/s to the company's hash rate capacity. If fully deployed for self-mining operations, this would translate to an additional 300 BTC mined per month at the current difficulty rate.

Some media have conducted relevant calculations, the company reports. Based on historical and public data, if the hash rate of these mining machines is included, BitFuFu’s overall hash rate may exceed the 50 EH/s threshold – a level that leading competitor MARA has only just reached. In an industry defined by intense competition, BitFuFu's efforts toward large-scale mining equipment acquisition strengthen its position in the hash rate race and lay a solid foundation for sustained profitability and long-term growth, reports the company.

BitFuFu's strategic investments in vertical integration, securing long-term hash rate and expanding its geographic footprint seem to be paying off. The company reports it has a strong and growing user base and a leading position in the cloud mining market, just as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are expected by experts to take off under President Trump. With its 1GW Global Capacity Expansion Plan underway, BitFuFu plans to lead the platform and its users to a new era of efficient mining.
