BIT Mining Limited Announces Unaudited Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year ended December 31, 2024
Rhea-AI Summary
BIT Mining (NYSE: BTCM) has reported its Q4 and full-year 2024 unaudited financial results. The company completed a 51% acquisition of an Ethiopia data center in December 2024, marking a strategic shift toward global data center operations.
Q4 2024 highlights include revenues of US$8.8 million, down from US$10.4 million in Q4 2023 but up from US$4.8 million in Q3 2024. Operating loss improved to US$2.5 million, significantly better than the US$14.3 million loss in Q4 2023. Net loss attributable to BIT Mining was US$2.1 million.
The company's current operations include 395.00 PH/s of BTC mining capacity and 13,793.00 GH/s of DOGE/LTC mining capacity. The 82.5 megawatt Ohio Mining Site generated US$3.8 million in service fee revenue. The remaining Ethiopian mining facilities are expected to be operational by mid-Q2 2025.

Insights
BIT Mining's Q4 2024 results reveal meaningful strategic shifts despite continued challenges. The $8.8 million revenue represents an 83.3% sequential increase from Q3, though still down 15.4% year-over-year. Most encouraging is the narrowed operating loss of $2.5 million, a substantial improvement from the $14.3 million loss in Q4 2023.
The December acquisition of a 51% stake in an Ethiopia data center marks a strategic pivot from pure mining toward more stable infrastructure operations. This geographic diversification could provide regulatory arbitrage and potentially lower operating costs.
Several financial indicators warrant attention: 1) The company's

BIT Mining's operational metrics reveal the harsh realities facing small-scale miners in today's environment. With just 395 PH/s of Bitcoin hash rate capacity, they produced only 3.16 BTC in Q4 2024, generating minimal revenue of
Their DOGE/LTC mining operations are more substantial at 13,793 GH/s, producing 16.1 million DOGE and 4,578 LTC with
The Ethiopia data center acquisition represents a calculated bet on emerging market expansion where electricity costs may be lower. However, operational challenges in such markets can be significant, and the regulatory environment for cryptocurrency mining remains fluid globally.
The adoption of ASU 2023-08 accounting standards for fair value measurement of cryptocurrency assets (versus the previous impairment model) significantly impacts financial comparisons. This accounting change eliminates the "impairment-only" approach that previously required write-downs without allowing write-ups when prices recovered.
With 19.06 BTC, 1,246 ETH, and 7.6 million DOGE on their balance sheet, BIT Mining maintains significant crypto exposure. However, these holdings face constant dilution from ongoing operational losses, creating pressure to either monetize assets or raise additional capital.
On December 9, 2024, the Company completed the first closing of acquisition of cryptocurrency mining data centers and Bitcoin ("BTC") mining machines in
Xianfeng Yang, Chief Executive Officer of BIT Mining, commented, "We are pleased to present robust and growth-oriented financial results for the fourth quarter. Throughout this period, we have implemented a range of initiatives to enhance operational efficiency and continuously refine our business structure, all of which have produced favorable outcomes. We successfully completed the first closing of the
