Looks like another miner capitulates:

Bitdeer Technologies has fully liquidated its corporate bitcoin treasury, reporting zero BTC held as of Feb. 20 and completing an eight-week drawdown from roughly 2,000 BTC at 2025 year-end.
In its latest weekly production update, the Singapore-based miner disclosed that it produced 189.8 BTC during the period and sold the entire amount. It also offloaded its remaining 943.1 BTC in reserves in a single week, wiping out its balance sheet holdings. The figures exclude customer deposits.
The move marks a sharp break from the traditional public miner strategy of accumulating bitcoin as a treasury asset. With the liquidation, Bitdeer becomes the largest publicly traded miner by self-mining hashrate to hold no bitcoin on its balance sheet.
The selloff caps a steady reduction in holdings that accelerated this month. Bitdeer held about 1,530 BTC at the end of January before cutting that figure to 943.1 BTC by Feb. 13. The final week’s transactions elim
In a post on X, the company said the decision to sell and the liquidation should not be interpreted as a signal about Bitcoin’s long-term prospects. Instead, it framed the decision as a liquidity measure tied to evaluating multiple powered land acquisition opportunities and scaling infrastructure.
“Our decision to sell Bitcoin should not be a concern for the broader market,” Bitdeer said.

have these gamblers never heard of the futures market?

rational miners are supposed to short futures in proportion to their mining power, and then during market slumps, consider early closure of outsanding shorts that are now in profit, rather than liquidating "treasury" coins that were held in the hope of selling them for a ridiculous profit.
