BitFuFu Announces May 2025 Bitcoin Mining and Operation Updates, Highlighting Record Hashrate of 34.1 EH/s

  • Bitcoin production increased 91.4% month-over-month to 400 BTC.
  • Total hashrate under management increased 20.5% month-over-month to 34.1 EH/s as of May 31, 2025.
  • Total power capacity under management increased 15.0% month-over-month to 651 MW across five continents as of May 31, 2025.

SINGAPORE, June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BitFuFu Inc. (“BitFuFu” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FUFU), a world-leading Bitcoin miner and mining services innovator, today announced its unaudited production and mining operation updates for May 2025.

“To meet the continued strong demand for cloud mining services, in May we further expanded our hashrate and power capacity to record levels of 34.1 EH/s and 651 MW, respectively,” said Leo Lu, Chairman and CEO of BitFuFu.

“In May 2025 alone, BitFuFu mined 400 BTC, including 357 BTC mined by our cloud-mining customers. The significant increase in Bitcoin production in May, up 91.4% month-over-month, directly reflects a full month's contribution from the additional hashrate purchased in late April. Similarly, the new hashrate acquired at the end of May is expected to position the Company for another strong increase in Bitcoin production in June, as Bitcoin productions benefit from this expanded capacity throughout the entire month.”

Lu continued, “Consistent with our disciplined treasury management strategy, after suspending Bitcoin sales for almost four months, we opportunistically sold 178 BTC at an average price of $104,000 during the recent all-time high in May. These strategic sales enabled us to capitalize on favorable market conditions, efficiently cover operational expenses, and strengthen our liquidity. Our long‑term conviction in Bitcoin is unchanged, and we will continue to hold a substantial balance while managing the business responsibly.”

May 2025 Highlights (as of May 31, 2025)
