Dear Sirs

Bitdeer Technologies Group (the Company)

We have acted as Cayman Islands counsel to the Company in connection with the Company’s registration statement on Form F-3, including all amendments and supplements thereto (the Registration Statement), as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended to date (the Act). The Registration Statement relates to the resale from time to time of up to 63,726,338 class A ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0000001 each of the Company (the Shares) by the selling securityholders named therein (the Selling Securityholders).
 
We are furnishing this opinion as Exhibits 5.1 to the Registration Statement.

(i)
the Registration Statement.

2
Assumptions

In giving this opinion we have relied upon the assumptions set forth in this paragraph 2 without having carried out any independent investigation or verification in respect of those assumptions:
 
(a)
all copies of documents examined by us (whether in facsimile, electronic or other form) conform to the originals and those originals are authentic and complete;

(b)
all signatures, seals, dates, stamps and markings (whether on original or copy documents) are genuine;

(c)
each of the Good Standing Certificate, the Register and the Director’s Certificate is accurate and complete as at the date of this opinion;

(d)
the CORIS Search which we have examined is accurate and that the information disclosed by the CORIS Search is true and complete and that such information has not since been altered;

(e)
all copies of the Registration Statement are true and correct copies and the Registration Statement conform in every material respect to the latest drafts of the same produced to us and, where the Registration Statement has been provided to us in successive drafts marked-up to indicate changes to such documents, all such changes have been so indicated;

(f)
the Board Resolutions remain in full force and effect and each of the directors of the Company has acted in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and has exercised the standard of care, diligence and skill that is required of him or her in approving the Registration Statement and no director has a financial interest in or other relationship to a party of the transactions contemplated by the Documents which has not been properly disclosed in the Board Resolutions;


Page 3 of 5
(g)
no monies paid to or for the account of any party under the Plan represent or will represent criminal property or terrorist property (as defined in the Proceeds of Crime Act (as revised) and the Terrorism Act (as revised), respectively);

(h)
the Company received money or money's worth in consideration for the issue of the Shares, and none of the Shares were issued for less than their par value;

(i)
the certificates for the Shares will conform to the specimen as set out in the Registration Statement and upon issuance will have been duly countersigned by the transfer agent and duly registered by the registrar for the Shares, or, if uncertificated, valid book-entry notations for the issuance of the Shares in uncertificated form will have been duly made in the share register of the Company;

(j)
neither the directors nor the shareholders of the Company have taken any steps to appoint a liquidator of the Company and no receiver or restructuring officer has been appointed over any of the Company’s property or assets; and

(k)
there is no provision of the law of any jurisdiction, other than the Cayman Islands, which would have any implication in relation to the opinions expressed herein.

3
Opinions

On the basis of the examinations and assumptions referred to above and subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in paragraph 4 below, we are of the opinion that:

Corporate status
 
(a)
The Company has been duly incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability and is validly existing and in good standing with the Registrar.

Authorised share capital
 
(b)
The authorised share capital of the Company is US$50,000.00 divided into 500,000,000,000 shares of a par value of US$0.0000001 each comprising:

(i)
499,600,000,000 class A ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0000001 each,

(ii)
200,000,000 class V ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0000001 each, and

(iii)
200,000,000 undesignated shares of a par value of US$0.0000001 each, of such class or classes (however designated) as the board of directors may determine in accordance with Articles 8 and 9 of the Memorandum and Articles.

Valid issuance of Shares
 
(c)
The issue and allotment of the Shares to be offered and sold by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Statement have been duly authorised. The Shares are validly issued, (assuming the purchase price therefor has been paid in full) fully paid and non-assessable.

Registration statement - taxation
 
(d)
The statements contained in the Registration Statement in the section headed “Cayman Islands Tax Considerations”, insofar as they purport to summarise the laws or regulations of the Cayman Islands, are accurate in all material respects and that such statements constitute our opinion.

4
Limitations and Qualifications

4.1
We offer no opinion:

(a)
as to any laws other than the laws of the Cayman Islands, and we have not, for the purposes of this opinion, made any investigation of the laws of any other jurisdiction, and we express no opinion as to the meaning, validity, or effect of references in the Documents to statutes, rules, regulations, codes or judicial authority of any jurisdiction other than the Cayman Islands;

(b)
except to the extent that this opinion expressly provides otherwise, as to the commercial terms of, or the validity, enforceability or effect of the Registration Statement, the accuracy of representations, the fulfilment of warranties or conditions, the occurrence of events of default or terminating events or the existence of any conflicts or inconsistencies among the Registration Statement and any other agreements into which the Company may have entered or any other documents; or

(c)
as to whether the acceptance, execution or performance of the Company’s obligations under the documents reviewed by us will result in the breach of or infringe any other agreement, deed or document (other than the Memorandum and Articles) entered into by or binding on the Company.

4.2
Under the Companies Act (Revised) (Companies Act) of the Cayman Islands, annual returns in respect of the Company must be filed with the Registrar, together with payment of annual filing fees. A failure to file annual returns and pay annual filing fees may result in the Company being struck off the Register of Companies, following which its assets will vest in the Financial Secretary of the Cayman Islands and will be subject to disposition or retention for the benefit of the public of the Cayman Islands.

4.3
In good standing means only that as of the date of the Good Standing Certificate the Company is up-to-date with the filing of its annual returns and payment of annual fees with the Registrar. We have made no enquiries into the Company's good standing with respect to any filings or payment of fees, or both, that it may be required to make under the laws of the Cayman Islands other than the Companies Act.

4.4
Under the Companies Act, the register of members of a Cayman Islands company is by statute regarded as prima facie evidence of any matters which the Companies Act directs or authorises to be inserted therein. A third party interest in the shares in question would not appear. An entry in the register of members may yield to a court order for rectification (for example, in the event of fraud or manifest error).

4.5
In this opinion, the phrase “non-assessable” means, with respect to the Shares, that a shareholder shall not, solely by virtue of its status as a shareholder, be liable for additional assessments or calls on the Shares by the Company or its creditors (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstance in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).


Page 5 of 5
4.6
We are not aware of any Cayman Islands authority as to when the courts would set aside the limited liability of a shareholder in a Cayman Islands company. Our opinion on the subject is based on the Companies Act and English common law authorities, the latter of which are persuasive but not binding in the courts of the Cayman Islands. Under English authorities, circumstances in which a court would attribute personal liability to a shareholder are very limited, and include: (a) such shareholder expressly assuming direct liability (such as a guarantee); (b) the company acting as the agent of such shareholder; (c) the company being incorporated by or at the behest of such shareholder for the purpose of committing or furthering such shareholder’s fraud, or for a sham transaction otherwise carried out by such shareholder. In the absence of these circumstances, we are of the opinion that a Cayman Islands’ court would have no grounds to set aside the limited liability of a shareholder.

4.7
Our examination of the Register of Writs cannot conclusively reveal whether or not there is:

(a)
any current or pending litigation in the Cayman Islands against the Company; or

(b)
any application for the winding up or dissolution of the Company or the appointment of any liquidator, trustee in bankruptcy or restructuring officer in respect of the Company or any of its assets,

as notice of these matters might not be entered on the Register of Writs immediately or updated expeditiously or the court file associated with the matter or the matter itself may not be publicly available (for example, due to sealing orders having been made). Furthermore, we have not conducted a search of the summary court. Claims in the summary court are limited to a maximum of CI $20,000.
 
5
Governing law of this opinion

5.1
This opinion is:

(a)
governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the Cayman Islands;

(b)
limited to the matters expressly stated in it; and

(c)
confined to, and given on the basis of, the laws and practice in the Cayman Islands at the date of this opinion.

5.2
Unless otherwise indicated, a reference to any specific Cayman Islands legislation is a reference to that legislation as amended to, and as in force at, the date of this opinion.

6
Reliance

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder.
 
This opinion may be used only in connection with the issuance of the Shares while the Registration Statement is effective.
 

Yours faithfully

/s/ Ogier
