According to B. Riley, the higher price target was based on optimism about its entry into the ASIC market, its aggressive expansion in self-mining operations, as well as the ongoing growth of the high-performance computing operations at its key facilities.

In the first quarter of the year, Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ:BTDR) saw net income soar by more than 67,000 percent to $409 million from only $600,000 in the same period last year.

Revenues, however, dropped by 41 percent to $70 million from $119 million year-on-year.
