BitFuFu handles the full complexity of mining operations, within a secure, fully compliant framework that implements KYC and AML standards across all applicable jurisdictions.

As of February 2026, BitFuFu held 1,830 BTC on its balance sheet, while managing 26.4 EH/s of total hashrate and 463 MW of power capacity across its global infrastructure. The Company produced 3,662 BTC throughout 2025.
