U.S.-listed Chinese sports lottery firm 500.com (NYSE: WBAI) said Tuesday it's inked a share-swap deal to acquire the cryptocurrency mining pool business of Bitdeer Technologies, including BTC.com.

According to an announcement, the agreement will see 500.com purchase all the shares of Bitdeer-owned Blockchain Alliance, which is based in the Cayman Islands, with 10% of its own shares. 

A cryptocurrency cloud mining firm, Bitdeer Technologies is majority owned by its chairman, Jihan Wu, who recently resigned as the CEO and chairman of mining giant Bitmain following a lengthy dispute with a co-founder. BTC.com's pool mines various cryptocurrencies including bitcoin, bitcoin cash, ether and litecoin.

This year, 500.com has been busy making moves to acquire batches of bitcoin mining machines after it announced a pivot to the cryptocurrency space in January.
