Release – Bit Digital Inc. Continues Expansion of Ethereum Holdings to Approximately 120,000 ETH, Reinforcing Treasury Strategy

Research News and Market Data on BTBT

  • July 18, 2025

July 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bit Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTBT) (“Bit Digital” or the “Company”), today announced that it has purchased approximately 19,683 Ethereum (“ETH”) using the net proceeds from its recently completed $67.3 million registered direct offering to institutional investors. Following the transaction, Bit Digital holds approximately 120,306 ETH.

“With approximately 120,000 ETH, Bit Digital is positioned among the largest institutional Ethereum treasuries in the public markets,” said Sam Tabar, Chief Executive Officer of Bit Digital. “We view Ethereum as foundational to the next phase of digital financial infrastructure. We believe Ethereum’s programmable nature, growing adoption, and staking yield model represent the future of digital assets, and we remain committed to scaling our ETH holdings as part of that long-term strategy.”

ETH is increasingly utilized across real economic activity, serving as the core collateral layer for stablecoins, tokenized assets, and decentralized applications. ETH’s ability to generate native yield and support programmable financial systems positions it as more than a digital asset. Bit Digital sees Ethereum as an integral part of how value will move and settle in modern markets, as a global coordination layer for the emerging onchain economy, and an essential component of future-facing treasury strategy.

Bit Digital operates Ethereum infrastructure as part of its broader strategy to participate directly in the network’s long-term growth. The Company stakes the majority of its ETH holdings and operates validators, earning yield while contributing to the security and performance of the Ethereum network. By combining this operational involvement with the compliance standards and oversight of a public company, Bit Digital offers investors regulated exposure to Ethereum’s underlying economics through a traditional equity vehicle.

About Bit Digital
Bit Digital is a publicly traded digital asset platform focused on Ethereum-native treasury and staking strategies. The Company began accumulating and staking ETH in 2022 and now operates one of the largest institutional Ethereum staking infrastructures globally. Bit Digital’s platform includes advanced validator operations, institutional-grade custody, active protocol governance, and yield optimization. Through strategic partnerships across the Ethereum ecosystem, Bit Digital aims to deliver exposure to secure, scalable, and compliant access to onchain yield.

Capitalizing on Change: Why Now is the Right Time For European Enterprises to Acquire U.S. Companies

Welcome to a multi-part article series authored by leading cross-border M&A professionals from CBIZ, Greenberg Traurig LLP, Noble Capital Markets, and Pathfinder Advisors LLC. This series provides a comprehensive guide for middle-market and larger European companies and investors seeking strategic acquisitions in the U.S. across the manufacturing, distribution, logistics, business services, and retail sectors. It will illuminate the compelling market dynamics, operational advantages, and strategic imperatives driving these transatlantic deals now, while also offering practical insights on navigating the complexities of U.S. market entry, robust financial and operational due diligence, talent integration, and regulatory considerations. The series aims to equip company owners, corporate development executives, family offices, and private equity professionals with the knowledge to unlock significant value and establish a resilient U.S. presence.

In an era defined by rapid economic shifts and evolving global dynamics, European enterprises may now have unprecedented opportunities to look across the Atlantic for strategic growth opportunities. The U.S. market, with its vast scale and inherent resilience, could present a compelling landscape for inbound M&A. This first article in our series explores why the current climate favors European acquirers and how strategic U.S. acquisitions could unlock significant value and establish a robust, resilient long-term presence.

THE U.S. ECONOMIC LANDSCAPE: A MAGNET FOR GLOBAL CAPITAL

Several factors contribute to the U.S. market’s allure for European companies. Despite global uncertainties, the American economy consistently demonstrates remarkable resilience and growth, driven by strong domestic demand and a vast consumer base.

For businesses in manufacturing, distribution, logistics, business services, and retail, this can translate into unparalleled opportunities for scaling operations and accessing a diverse, expansive customer demographic. Unlike other regions, the U.S. provides a stable and predictable economic environment, making it a potentially reliable destination for significant capital deployment. Indeed, while some regions have seen a decline in foreign direct investment (FDI), North America has seen an increase, partly due to the U.S. market’s enduring appeal.

Legally and regulatorily, the U.S. provides a stable and transparent system, which is a major draw for European companies. It features strong intellectual property (IP) protections, generally favorable employer-friendly laws in most states, and a robust legal system that supports contract enforcement.

Beyond tolerance, the U.S. actively encourages FDI, recognizing its role in economic development and job creation, making it a highly attractive destination for European capital.

Adding to these draws, the U.S. labor market is generally more operationally flexible compared to many European economies. It features less pervasive unionization, fewer statutory time-off mandates, and largely defined contribution pension structures, all of which may help streamline post-acquisition integration and cost management for European acquirers.

COMPELLING VALUATION DYNAMICS & DEAL STRUCTURES: A BUYER’S WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY

Recent market adjustments have tempered the soaring valuations seen in previous years, creating a more balanced and favorable buyer’s market. In 2024, average middle market M&A valuations eased to 9.4x EV/EBITDA, down from 9.6x in 2023.

While the median EBITDA multiple also dropped, signaling continued buyer selectivity, the share of deals closing at 10.0x EBITDA or higher rebounded significantly. This suggests that while overall valuations have stabilized, high-quality assets, particularly in service-focused areas, continue to attract strong competition and premium pricing. At the same time, the average enterprise value of targets increased, indicating a strategic shift towards larger, more synergistic acquisitions.

This environment is supported by a constructive lending landscape. Private credit has grown, taking a permanent share of the corporate lending market and offering flexible financing solutions.

Adding to this buyer-favorable backdrop, the U.S. Dollar has lost over 13% of its value against the Euro this year, potentially boosting the valuation case for European acquirers as a stronger Euro effectively discounts U.S. acquisitions by the same margin.

Despite some recent volatility in the middle market debt environment due to factors like credit downgrades and persistent high-yield spreads, optimism about private equity dealmaking remains high. This continued demand, alongside improving macroeconomic conditions, makes the market increasingly conducive to transactions.

Moreover, understanding the nuances of U.S. deal structures—from asset versus stock purchases to the strategic use of earn-outs—is key to optimizing transaction outcomes and aligning interests.

STRATEGIC SUPPLY CHAIN RECONFIGURATION: LOCALIZING FOR RESILIENCE AND OPERATIONAL ADVANTAGE

Global events have clearly highlighted the vulnerabilities of extended supply chains. For many European firms, enhancing supply chain resilience has become a top strategic priority.

While U.S. manufacturing output “barely increased” in 2024, indicating a lag between investment announcements and operational capacity coming online, this may create an opportunity for M&A. Acquiring existing U.S. companies could offer an immediate and impactful solution for nearshoring or reshoring production and distribution capabilities, circumventing these lags and accelerating market entry.

Establishing a U.S. footprint can directly impact lead times, reduces international transportation costs, and mitigates exposure to geopolitical disruptions and tariffs.

European firms are increasingly seeking U.S. acquisitions to create “tariff-proof” manufacturing and supply chains. Imagine a European manufacturer of specialized industrial components acquiring a U.S. distributor with strategically located warehouses; this not only ensures closer proximity to end-customers but could also help build a more secure and efficient North American supply network, providing diversification away from global reliance.

A WELCOMING POLICY ENVIRONMENT: INCENTIVES FOR FOREIGN INVESTMENT AND GROWTH

The U.S. government has adopted a supportive stance towards domestic investment, offering substantial incentives that can indirectly benefit foreign acquirers. Initiatives like the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and CHIPS Act, while often associated with specific high-tech manufacturing, create a broader environment that could favor industrial growth.

The CHIPS Act, for example, not only boosts semiconductor production but also strongly encourages supply chain diversification and risk mitigation across related industries. While some specific tax credits might face adjustments, certain benefits of the IRA are expected to remain intact, continuing to make U.S. investment attractive.

This supportive policy environment, combined with a stable regulatory landscape compared to other global jurisdictions, could further de-risk direct foreign investment. The U.S. actively encourages FDI, recognizing its role in economic development and job creation, making it a highly attractive destination for European capital.

Beyond direct governmental initiatives, the U.S. tax environment offers key advantages that may enhance its appeal for cross-border M&A.

U.S. tax law broadly allows for the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets in the case of asset acquisitions. Moreover, in certain circumstances, transactions structured as stock acquisitions can be treated as asset acquisitions for income tax purposes with the appropriate election, allowing buyers to obtain assets with a “stepped up” tax basis, alongside the benefit of intangible asset amortization.

Importantly for European acquirers, the U.S. maintains a wide treaty network with Europe. This network may enable the efficient repatriation of after-tax earnings with favorable withholding tax rates, further making the U.S. an attractive destination for international expansion.

SECTOR-SPECIFIC READINESS: RIPE OPPORTUNITIES ACROSS INDUSTRIES

Beyond macroeconomic factors, the U.S. market may offer significant opportunities in specific sectors. In manufacturing, there is a strong push for modernization and efficiency, that could make established U.S. facilities ripe for European investment and technological enhancement.

The fragmented nature of the U.S. distribution and logistics sectors may present opportunities for consolidation, allowing European players to build scalable networks. Indeed, recent trends show a noticeable uptick in European buyers seeking to expand their U.S. footprint, often driven by a desire to mitigate tariff impacts.

Business services and retail, driven by a dynamic consumer base and rapid technological adoption, offer avenues for market expansion and digital transformation. For example, a European logistics firm might acquire several regional U.S. trucking companies to quickly establish a national network, leveraging existing customer relationships and infrastructure and benefiting from the observed M&A activity in logistics, where cross-border deals accounted for 44% in 2024.

CONCLUSION: POSITIONING FOR ENDURING SUCCESS IN THE U.S.

The combination of attractive valuations, a resilient market, strategic supply chain needs, and a supportive policy environment may create a window of opportunity for European companies.

Proactive engagement in U.S. M&A now is not just about growth; it is about building long-term resilience and securing a dominant position in a critical global market.

Our next article, “Expanding Your Footprint: Strategic Opportunities in U.S. Manufacturing, Distribution & Logistics,” will delve deeper into the specific operational and technological advantages awaiting European acquirers in these core industrial sectors.

    Solid Q1 Results. The company reported solid Q1 results, with revenue growing 3% over the prior year period to $4.8 million, marking the highest quarterly revenue in the company’s history. Adj. EBITDA of $0.4 million in Q1 was moderately lower than our estimate of $0.5 million estimate. We believe its business pipeline appears to be improving and should gain momentum throughout the year and into 2026. 

    Capitalizing less development costs. Notably, the company capitalized less development costs in Q1 than in prior quarters, leading to more development costs expensed in Q1. While this impacted Q1, we believe that margins should improve as the company begins to recognize the revenue from the new business “wins” in future quarters. Furthermore, the company will be expensing development costs at a similar rate to Q1 moving forward.

    Stripe’s Crypto Wallet Acquisition: A Strategic Play for Digital Payment Dominance

    Stripe’s acquisition of crypto wallet provider Privy represents far more than a simple technology purchase—it’s a calculated move to position the payments giant at the forefront of the digital currency revolution. This strategic acquisition, coming on the heels of Stripe’s massive $1.1 billion purchase of Bridge earlier this year, demonstrates the company’s commitment to building a comprehensive cryptocurrency infrastructure that could fundamentally reshape how businesses and consumers interact with digital assets.

    Privy’s impressive scale provides immediate validation of the crypto wallet market’s maturity. With over 75 million accounts across more than 1,000 developer teams facilitating billions in transactions, the New York-based startup has proven that cryptocurrency wallets can achieve mainstream adoption when properly executed. Founded in 2021 by Henri Stern and Asta Li, Privy solved a critical problem in the crypto ecosystem by creating developer-friendly APIs that eliminate the technical barriers traditionally associated with wallet creation and blockchain integration.

    The timing of this acquisition is particularly significant given the broader cryptocurrency market’s evolution toward practical utility rather than speculative trading. Privy’s technology spans multiple high-growth sectors including decentralized finance, gaming, artificial intelligence agents, and consumer applications, indicating that crypto infrastructure is becoming integral to diverse business models rather than remaining confined to niche financial applications.

    Stripe’s strategic vision becomes clearer when considering how Privy’s capabilities complement the company’s existing strengths. The payments processor has built its reputation on simplifying complex financial operations for merchants, and cryptocurrency transactions represent the next logical frontier. By integrating Privy’s wallet technology with Bridge’s stablecoin infrastructure and Stripe’s global payment network, the company is creating a unified platform that could make cryptocurrency transactions as seamless as traditional card payments.

    The acquisition’s structure reveals Stripe’s confidence in Privy’s independent value proposition. By allowing Privy to continue operating as an independent product, Stripe acknowledges that the crypto wallet market requires specialized expertise and dedicated focus. This approach mirrors successful technology acquisitions where the parent company provides resources and distribution while preserving the acquired company’s innovative culture and technical capabilities.

    Patrick Collison’s statement about enabling “Internet-native financial services” hints at Stripe’s larger ambition to challenge traditional banking infrastructure. The combination of wallet technology, stablecoin capabilities, and global payment processing creates a powerful alternative to conventional financial systems, particularly for international transactions where traditional banking remains slow and expensive.

    The undisclosed acquisition price, while notable, is less important than the strategic implications. Privy’s $40 million in raised capital from prominent investors including Ribbit Capital and Coinbase Ventures suggests a valuation multiple that reflects both current performance and future potential. For Stripe, which processes hundreds of billions in annual payment volume, the cost of this acquisition is minimal compared to the potential revenue from expanding into cryptocurrency infrastructure.

    This acquisition positions Stripe to capture value from the inevitable growth in cryptocurrency adoption while maintaining its core business focus. As regulatory clarity improves and institutional adoption accelerates, companies with comprehensive crypto infrastructure will possess significant competitive advantages in the evolving digital economy.
