SINGAPORE, Jan. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BitFuFu Inc., (“BitFuFu” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: FUFU), a global leader in Bitcoin mining and comprehensive mining services, today announced it has recently signed a two-year framework agreement with BITMAIN, a world-leading digital asset mining hardware manufacturer, to purchase from BITMAIN up to 80,000 S-series miners (including but not limited to the S21 XP and S21 Pro).

Under the terms of the framework agreement, BitFuFu has the flexibility to place orders in batches over a two-year period.
