Slated for Launch in Q1 2026, the BT1 Series with Advanced ASIC Technology Signifies the Company’s Expansion into Bitcoin Mining
SINGAPORE, Oct. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BGIN Blockchain Limited (“BGIN” or “The Company”), a digital asset technology company with proprietary cryptocurrency mining technologies and leading innovator in cryptocurrency mining hardware and infrastructure, today announced that BGIN had reached a critical milestone in the development process of its groundbreaking BT1 series mining machines, specifically designed for Bitcoin mining. Slated for launch in early 2026, the new series represents the Company's strategic expansion into the Bitcoin market, leveraging years of expertise in ASIC chip design and alternative cryptocurrency mining solutions.
BT1 Tape-out Launch
BGIN has successfully completed the design and simulation verification for its advanced-process Bitcoin mining machine, the BT1 model. After confirming the process with the foundry, the ASIC chip has officially entered the tape-out phase, a critical milestone in chip development. Tape-out represents a key stage in the overall chip development process, as it marks the pitoval step in transition from design to physical production. Since 2022, the Company has achieved a proven track record with six successful tape-outs of ASIC mining chip designs.

The BT1 series will be powered by BGIN's proprietary ASIC chips, developed by the Company's research and development team spanning multiple international locations. The team, led by Chief Technology Officer Qi Shao, brings extensive experience in blockchain technology and electronics development.
Building on the success of BGIN’s recently launched KS7 model, which achieved a hash rate of up to 30 TH/s internal tests – doubling the performance of previous models – the BT1 series is expected to deliver industry-leading efficiency and performance for Bitcoin mining operations.
Comprehensive Product Portfolio
The BT1 series joins BGIN's expanding portfolio of the Company proprietary ICERIVER® mining solutions, including:
- KS Series.
- AL Series.
- RX Series.
- AE Series.BL1 Series.
