Bitdeer has ramped up its proprietary bitcoin production after energizing another 5 EH/s of SEALMINER rigs, overtaking Riot Platforms to become the world’s fifth-largest public bitcoin mining operation.
The company said in a Wednesday update that its deployed hashrate rose from 30.3 EH/s in August to 35 EH/s in September—a 15.5% increase that drove bitcoin production up 20.5% month over month, from 375 BTC to 452 BTC.
Adjusting for network difficulty changes, the output implies a jump in realized hashrate from 24.64 EH/s to 32.74 EH/s, or roughly 32.9%. At that scale, Bitdeer now trails only MARA, IREN, CleanSpark, and Cango among public miners by proprietary hashrate.
Bitdeer credited the growth to the continued rollout of its in-house SEALMINER rigs and the completion of new site energizations in Tydal, Norway, and Jigmeling, Bhutan. The company said it remains on track to reach 40 EH/s of self-mining capacity by the end of October, after which it plans to retire older third-party machines to improve fleet efficiency.
The firm has so far manufactured 34.2 EH/s worth of SEALMINER A2 rigs, with 22.6 EH/s already deployed and another 5.5 EH/s in transit. Bitdeer launched the SEALMINER A3 series in September and has begun mass production for self-mining installations starting this month.
In its chip development update, Bitdeer said it has completed the first tape-out of its SEAL04 silicon. Initial testing shows sub-10 J/TH efficiency at the chip level—still above its 5 J/TH target but marking progress toward next-generation performance.

Distribution deal grows U.S. retail footprint.
ATLANTA – Bitcoin Depot has announced a distribution partnership with the Independent Grocers Alliance (“IGA”), the world’s largest network of independent grocery retailers, to expand access to Bitcoin Depot kiosks through neighborhood grocery stores across the country.

With this partnership, IGA stores across the United States will gain the opportunity to offer in-store Bitcoin access through the Bitcoin Depot kiosks, where permitted, extending Bitcoin Depot’s national footprint and allowing more consumers the opportunity to buy Bitcoin in a familiar retail setting.
“This partnership with IGA helps us increase our reach to provide easy and secure access to Bitcoin for consumers across diverse communities,” said Scott Buchanan, President & COO of Bitcoin Depot. “By leveraging IGA’s robust network of independent retailers, we are extending the reach of our kiosks while also opening the door to future international expansion.”
With IGA’s presence in over 25 countries, this engagement positions Bitcoin Depot to evaluate expansion into new international markets as demand for Bitcoin access continues to rise.

“Partnering with Bitcoin Depot, a trusted leader in the crypto ATM space, allows us to offer our retailers a proven, secure way to meet growing consumer demand for digital assets,” said IGA VP of Brand Development Michael La Kier. “This relationship will further help independent grocers stay competitive by bringing in new foot traffic and offering a service that’s increasingly relevant to the communities they serve.”

Key points:
Bitcoin’s NUPL metric repeats past bull-market tops with a move from “optimism” to “euphoria.”
The Bitcoin realized cap is increasingly in the hands of short-term holders.
New investors continue to get squeezed by range-bound BTC price performance.
Bitcoin BTCUSD may be in its “final expansion” to a blow-off top despite recent lows, new research says. 
In one of its Quicktake blog posts on Wednesday, onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant showed BTC price history repeating itself.
Bitcoin NUPL implies “shift from optimism to euphoria”
Bitcoin is headed for its new cycle top as the balance of control between old and new hodlers shifts.
CryptoQuant data revealed that the ratio of unrealized profit and loss (NUPL) has crossed into territory that has accompanied previous blow-off tops.
“The NUPL currently sits at +0.52, a zone historically marking the shift from optimism to euphoria,” contributor XWIN Research Japan wrote. 

Speculatory entities — those hodling for up to 155 days and defined as short-term holders (STHs) — now make up a record 44% of Bitcoin realized cap. 
Realized cap is the sum total of the supply at the price at which it last moved. CryptoQuant explains that a high STH ratio implies that newer investors are inheriting the supply from older investors who are taking profit. This includes the largest investor cohort, the whales.
“In past cycles, this transfer of dominance from LTH to STH has coincided with the final expansion phase of a bull market,” the post continued. 

XWIN acknowledged that the current bull market stands out against the rest. Thanks to large-scale institutional involvement, the impact of realized cap shifts may be reduced.
“However, this time the structure appears different: ETF inflows, expanding stablecoin liquidity, and institutional participation are absorbing sell pressure, forming a more stable type of euphoria,” it added.
BTC price toys with STH profit margin
As Cointelegraph reported, Bitcoin’s STH cohort currently faces a profitability hurdle.
CryptoQuant puts its aggregate cost basis at $112,500 as of Tuesday, making this week’s BTC price range the key to overall profitability.

The cost basis, also known as realized price, functions as support during bull-market drawdowns, but its loss can also flip the trend line to resistance.
CryptoQuant data indicates that this fluctuation is currently in play, as the spot price bounces above and below the STH cost basis trendline.

NEW YORK (WABC) — The Mega Millions jackpot is continuing its march upwards, with the largest prize since last December (and 11th largest in the game's history) up for grabs this Friday.
The jackpot rolls again after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Tuesday night.
Tuesday's winning Mega Millions numbers: 57, 22, 49, 12, 58 and a Megaball of 19.
The October 14 drawing produced 401,467 winning tickets across all prize tiers, for total winnings of more than $12.1 million. Two tickets, one each in Arizona and Texas, matched the five white balls to win the game's second-tier prize. Both tickets had the 2X multiplier, making them worth $2 million each.
Fifteen tickets matched four white balls plus the Mega Ball to win the game's third-tier prize: eight at 2X for $20,000 (two in New York and one each in Arizona, California, Georgia, Idaho, New Jersey and Ohio), four at 3X for $30,000 (Arizona, Michigan, New York and Texas), two at 4X for $40,000 (Connecticut and Pennsylvania) and one at 5X for $50,000 (Massachusetts).
The jackpot has been rolling since it was last won at $348 million in Virginia on June 27. Earlier jackpots this year were awarded in Ohio ($112 million on April 18), Illinois ($349 million on March 25), and Arizona ($112 million on January 17).
The odds used to be 1 in 302 million to win the jackpot and now they are 1 in 292 million.
Under the new rules, prizes for tickets not matching all six numbers also will increase, with non-jackpot winners now guaranteed at least $10. Each ticket also will include a randomly assigned multiplier that can increase the prize by up to 10 times, a previous add-on feature that cost an extra $1. The multiplier doesn't apply to a jackpot.
Mega Millions is available in 45 states, plus Washington, D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The New York Lottery continues to be North America's largest and most profitable Lottery, contributing $3.7 billion in Lottery Aid to Education for FY2022-2023 to help support education in New York State.
New York Lottery revenue is distributed to local school districts by the same statutory formula used to distribute other state aid to education. It takes into account both a school district's size and its income level; larger, lower-income school districts receive proportionately larger shares of Lottery school funding.
