Key Takeaways
- COO Chao Suo and CBO Linghui Kong resigned from their executive positions effective June 8, 2026, for personal reasons.
- Both individuals will remain with the company in unspecified capacities following their resignations.
Bitdeer (NASDAQ: BTDR) Technologies Group said two senior executives have resigned from their operating roles, the latest leadership change at the bitcoin mining and AI infrastructure company as founder Jihan Wu continues to steer the business through a broader vertical integration push.
Chao Suo resigned as chief operating officer and Linghui Kong resigned as chief business officer, each with immediate effect, according to a regulatory filing made public on Monday. Bitdeer said both departures were for personal reasons and were not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the company over its operations, policies or practices.
The company said both Suo and Kong will continue to serve Bitdeer. It did not name replacements in the filing or specify what roles the two executives will hold after stepping down from their C-suite positions.
Kong’s resignation marks another step in a leadership transition that began more than two years ago. He previously served as Bitdeer’s chief executive officer before Wu, Bitdeer’s founder and chairman, took over the CEO role in March 2024. At the time, Kong moved into the newly defined chief business officer role and remained a director, with the company positioning the change as a way to put Wu more directly in charge of Bitdeer’s long-term strategy.
