BitFuFu produced 167 BTC in September 2026, including 98 BTC from self-mining operations. The company held 1,388 BTC by the end of the month as it faces uncertainty regarding an Ethiopian mining facility acquisition.
Why it matters
A contractual dispute between an Ethiopian power supplier and a target company threatens BitFuFu's proposed acquisition, putting millions in assets at risk. The firm is currently weighing options including arbitration or the termination of the deal.
BitFuFu reported total holdings of 1,388 BTC alongside 19.4 EH/s in total hashrate and 324 MW of power capacity. The company has already committed US$4.1 million in cash payments toward the acquisition of the contested Ethiopian mining facility.
