WDMS Global 2026 Successfully Held in Hong Kong
On August 27–28, 2026, WDMS Global 2026 (World Digital Mining Summit) was successfully held in Hong Kong, China. With the theme "Ride the Cycle. Hydro Prevails.", this year's summit focused on cutting-edge technologies and industry trends, fostering discussions on the growth of the global PoW ecosystem and exploring emerging opportunities in the new era of digital mining alongside industry leaders.
During the summit, BITMAIN officially launched its latest hydro-cooling computing server, the ANTMINER S23 XP Hyd.. With an energy efficiency of 8.9 J/T and a single-unit hashrate of 600T, it sets a new industry benchmark once again. The product delivers further improvements in energy efficiency and single-unit hashrate density, marking a new stage in BITMAIN's hydro-cooling technology and providing an efficient and sustainable solution for large-scale data center deployment
Meanwhile, BITMAIN announced a limited-time 50% off special offer price for the ANTMINER S23e U2H at $11/T, providing customers with a cost-effective computing deployment option. The ANTMINER S23e U2H features a standard 2U server form factor with a hashrate of 865T and energy efficiency of 10 J/T, combining a high-density 2U form factor with a mature hydro-cooling solution to achieve an optimal balance between computing density and power consumption control. This limited-time special offer price is an initiative by BITMAIN to give back to customers, helping them improve operational efficiency and seize development opportunities.
At the summit, BITMAIN proposed three cooperation models for the integration of AI and digital asset computing power: outright purchase, plug-and-play solutions, and per-watt-hour hosting as a light-asset model. BITMAIN advocates that digital asset computing and AI data centers share electrical and cooling infrastructure, with digital asset computing carrying the load before AI main loads come online and during idle capacity periods, achieving complementary advantages for both parties.
A wide range of industry experts, community pioneers, and thought leaders were invited to speak at WDMS Global 2026, delivering engaging and insightful presentations. Dr. Xiao Feng (Chairman & CEO, HashKey Group) offered a multi-dimensional perspective on the development trends of digital assets and Web3, sharing insights into the institutionalization progress under Hong Kong's digital asset regulatory framework and the industry outlook. Sergio Brasil (CEO, Renova Energia) shared a practical case study of powering digital asset computing with wind energy, exploring the deep integration of renewable energy and computing operations. Sky (BITFUFU) discussed how computing companies can reduce their dependence on digital asset prices, offering core perspectives on industry development from a business diversification standpoint.
During the panel discussion, Kristian Csepcsar (CMO, Braiins), Arsin Saiyed (Co-Founder, Cipher Tech), Patrick Lussier (VP Technology & General Manager, Projet BTU), Sergio Brasil (CEO, Renova Energia), and Afreed Shamsu (Founder & CEO, Cipher Tech), explored the planning and deployment of new hydro-cooling data center projects, exchanging views on both design choices and practical operational strategies.
In addition, BITMAIN's Mining Farm Technical Director introduced the company's hydro-cooling solutions and services, which are designed to support various deployment scenarios. The container-based and on-site data center designs aim to deliver smarter, energy-efficient, and scalable hydro-cooling infrastructure. AR30 and AR31 hydro-cooling products were showcased for the first time at the summit. Designed to integrate computing power into existing data centers, the products support flexible adaptation across multiple deployment scenarios.
WDMS has always been committed to supporting the development of the digital mining industry and the growth of the PoW ecosystem. As a flagship event for digital mining, WDMS Global 2026 once again provided a solid platform for meaningful exchange among partners and the global mining community.
BITMAIN remains committed to consistently delivering better products and services to its clients.
