Bitdeer has secured another 67 megawatts (MW) of AI data center capacity in Malaysia, but it had no customers signed for the new facility when the deal was announced.
The Singapore-based AI cloud provider disclosed a 10-year agreement on October 8 for A901, its third Malaysian hub. Designed for liquid-cooled NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 systems, the facility is expected to begin delivering capacity in the first quarter of 2027 and reach its full 67 MW in the second quarter. Bitdeer reported no signed customer commitments for A901 as of the announcement.
The deal adds to Malaysia’s expanding AI infrastructure pipeline, although the new capacity remains a future project rather than computing services available to businesses.
Bitdeer adds 67 MW to Malaysia expansion
The 10-year data center agreement establishes A901 as Bitdeer’s third Malaysian hub alongside Cyberjaya and Johor. Its precise location and financial terms were not disclosed.
The planned campus will accommodate rack-scale NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 systems. Its 67 MW refers to critical IT load, meaning power available to computing equipment rather than the facility’s total electricity consumption.
A901 raised Bitdeer’s secured global AI cloud capacity to approximately 273.5 MW. A separate 60 MW agreement, announced October 12, increased that total to 333.5 MW, roughly 95% of its target of up to 350 MW by the first quarter of 2028.
The second project, A103, will expand Bitdeer’s Cyberjaya campus and is designed for next-generation NVIDIA Vera Rubin systems. Energization is expected in the first quarter of 2028.
Malaysia’s data center expansion faces power and infrastructure constraints, particularly in Johor. A901’s precise location remains undisclosed, so those local conditions cannot be assumed to apply to the new facility. Tight capacity and growing power requirements have complicated development in parts of the country.
Malaysia is also attracting additional GPU investments, including plans to deploy 22,000 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs across Malaysia and the Philippines in 2027. These projects could expand regional computing options, provided developers secure electricity, complete construction and bring their systems online.
Customer commitments remain unconfirmed
Bitdeer’s A901 agreement secures future infrastructure, but GPUs, power connections and cooling systems must be ready before commercial services can begin.
Other Malaysian facilities have already attracted customers. In August 2026, Bitdeer announced that its 9.5 MW A102 facility was fully contracted, with expected revenue exceeding $800 million over five years.
In September, the company also reported commitments covering more than 70% of its 21.7 MW A201 facility in Johor Bahru, representing more than $1.7 billion in expected five-year revenue.
Other providers have secured customers before opening new facilities. OpenAI, for example, agreed to become an anchor customer for two planned Firmus AI data centers in Malaysia, although their launch dates and contracted capacity remain undisclosed.
Bitdeer estimates its active AI cloud sales pipeline exceeds $10 billion. That figure represents potential contracts under discussion, not signed backlog or guaranteed revenue.
A901’s next milestones are customer commitments and its planned 2027 capacity delivery. Until then, the agreement represents future Malaysian AI infrastructure, not computing capacity enterprises can immediately deploy.
