SINGAPORE, May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BitFuFu Inc. ("BitFuFu" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: FUFU), a world-leading Bitcoin miner and mining services innovator, today announced its unaudited Bitcoin production and operational metrics for April 2026.
"April presented us with two distinct headwinds: an unexpected power outage at our Ethiopia facility and a deliberate recalibration of our third-party hashrate procurement, which weighed on our monthly production figures," said Leo Lu, Chairman and CEO of BitFuFu. "Importantly, this reflects disciplined decision-making, not structural weakness. Our self-owned hashrate held steady at 3.3 EH/s, and our average cash-based self-mining cost per BTC in April was approximately $59,000.
"On procurement, we chose not to renew certain third-party contracts where economics would have pressured margins given April's Bitcoin price environment. Preserving profitability is a strategic priority, and we will not pursue hashrate growth at the expense of unit economics.
"Our Ethiopia facility has been operating under improved power conditions since May 2, and as market conditions improve, we believe we are well-positioned to scale our managed hashrate as opportunities meet our return thresholds. Notably, while some miners have sold down, or in certain cases exited, their Bitcoin holdings in recent months, we continued to add to our Bitcoin holdings, which increased to 1,812 BTC during the month, reflecting our continued conviction in Bitcoin as a long-term store of value. We enter May with operational clarity, a stronger balance sheet, and the flexibility to accelerate growth when the risk-reward warrants it."
