Analysis · FUFU · Crypto Assets
BitFuFu's September update shows a modest 4% month-over-month decline in Bitcoin production to 167 BTC, but the real story is the Ethiopian acquisition. The target company is in a contractual dispute with its power supplier, and the supplier has threatened to seize collateralized equipment. BitFuFu has already sunk US$4.1 million in cash and deployed 13,700 miners worth US$1.74 million net book value into the facility. Management now says there is material risk the deal may not close at all, and is evaluating termination, arbitration, and recovery of its assets. This is a significant deterioration from the CFIUS-cleared Oklahoma acquisition momentum reported just two weeks ago, and it introduces uncertainty around a previously announced growth initiative. Bitcoin holdings rose to 1,390 BTC from 1,370 BTC, and the stock traded about 3% lower at about $1.30 after hours.
