Ethereum Treasury Strategy
During the second quarter, Bit Digital initiated a strategic transition to become a pure-play Ethereum treasury and staking company. The Company intends to allocate the majority of its capital to ETH accumulation and staking yield generation, positioning itself as a leading public ETH vehicle.
The Company's ETH position[1] has grown materially as a result of this initiative:
- June 30, 2025: 30,663 ETH held.
- July 7, 2025: 100,603 ETH held.
- August 11, 2025: 121,076 ETH held, valued at approximately
as of that date, following additional purchases funded by the Company's June and July 2025 equity offerings to support the ETH treasury strategy.$511.5 million
In the second quarter, Bit Digital earned approximately 166.8 ETH in staking rewards. As of June 30, approximately 21,568 ETH were actively staked, generating an annualized effective yield of approximately
Bitcoin Mining Update
In June 2025, the Company announced plans to sunset its bitcoin mining operations as part of its transition to an Ethereum-focused strategy. The process is expected to result in the sale of mining assets or the orderly closure of operations as hosting contracts expire or equipment becomes unprofitable.
During the second quarter, the Company earned 68.2 BTC, compared to 83.3 BTC in the prior quarter, reflecting both network difficulty, curtailments, and the ongoing fleet redeployed following the exit from a hosting partners facility. As of June 30, 2025, the Company's active hash rate was approximately 1.2 EH/s, with a fleet efficiency of approximately 25 J/Th. The Company expects active hash rate to increase with the deployment of 3,575 previously purchased S21 mining units, of which 2,130 have been deployed since June 30, 2025. Bitcoin mined on an ongoing basis is used for settlement of related expenses and conversions into ETH.
Management Commentary
"This quarter marked the beginning of Bit Digital's transformation into a dedicated Ethereum treasury and staking platform," said Sam Tabar, CEO of Bit Digital. "In June, we formally launched our ETH strategy and have already scaled our holdings significantly, reaching 121,076 ETH as of August 11, 2025. Our objective is to build one of the largest on-chain ETH balance sheets in the public markets and to generate attractive staking yields for shareholders. This isn't a trend we're chasing — we've held ETH since 2021 and have deep conviction in its long-term value."
"We intend to opportunistically and cost-effectively scale our ETH position using a disciplined capital allocation framework. This includes deploying proceeds from operations and leveraging various capital markets tools where appropriate to maximize returns while maintaining prudent risk management. We are valuation-sensitive and focused on growing long-term value per share, not simply scaling for the sake of it."
"At the same time, we are methodically winding down our bitcoin mining operations and redeploying capital into ETH. The recently completed WhiteFiber IPO unlocked substantial value for shareholders, and our retained stake gives us additional financial strength as we pursue this new direction. "It also provides strategic flexibility that could be monetized over time to further support our ETH strategy in a non-dilutive way. With a growing ETH treasury and a strong balance sheet, we believe we are well-positioned to deliver sustainable, ETH-based returns over the long term."
