Full Year Results. For the twelve months ended May 25, 2024, RGP posted revenue of $632.8 million, a decline of 18.4% y-o-y. Same day constant currency revenue fell 18.8% y-o-y. Gross margin was 38.9% versus 40.4% in FY23. GAAP net income was $21 million, or $0.62/sh., compared to $54.4 million, or $1.59 last year. Adjusted EPS was $0.93 versus $2.00. Adjusted EBITDA in FY24 totaled $51.5 million, down from $100.2 million a year ago.

Setting Foundation. Management continues to control what they can while setting the foundation for an expected industry upturn. While the timing of the upturn is difficult to predict, we believe clients will become more willing to start spending on new projects as economic certainty becomes clearer. We believe the first interest rate reductions by the Federal Reserve will be a signal of improved clarity and will provide clients comfort to start new projects.

Investor Notice 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and forward-looking statements described under “Risk Factors” in Item 3.D of our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. If any material risk was to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the value of our securities could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment. The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. In addition, our past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results in the future. Future changes in the network-wide mining difficulty rate or bitcoin hash rate may also materially affect the future performance of Bit Digital’s production of bitcoin. Actual operating results will vary depending on many factors including network difficulty rate, total hash rate of the network, the operations of our facilities, the status of our miners, and other factors.

Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release.

Bit Digital AI. The $100 million annual run rate goal is within reach as the expanded HPC services contract is now at a $92 million annualized revenue run-rate. The pipeline here is growing and we anticipate additional customers before year-end. Notably, HPC revenue generates significantly higher margins than the mining business, partially due to an energy cost that is 15x less. Management’s goal is to become a leading provider of AI infrastructure as a service to the EMEA region.

Release – Bit Digital, Inc. Announces Finalized Terms for Contract Expansion with Major HPC Customer; Total Contract Value Now Worth Approximately $275 Million

Posted on by dburczyk@noblecapitalmarkets.com

Research News and Market Data on BTBT

NEW YORK, June 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bit Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTBT) (“Bit Digital” or the “Company”), a sustainable platform for digital assets and artificial intelligence (“AI”) infrastructure headquartered in New York, announced today that it has finalized an agreement to supply an existing customer with an additional 2,048 GPUs over a three-year term commencing upon deployment. With this agreement, the Company will supply this customer with a total of 4,096 GPUs for the respective three-year periods, amounting to total revenue of approximately $275 million, or $92 million on an annualized basis.

To fulfill the contract, the Company has placed a purchase order for 256 servers manufactured by Dell Technologies, an authorized Nvidia OEM, that are equipped with 2,048 Nvidia HGX H100 GPUs along with related equipment, which are expected to be delivered to the Company during July 2024. The servers will be deployed in Iceland at the datacenter where the Company’s existing AI servers are located and are expected to begin generating revenue in August 2024.

The Company intends to finance the deal with a mixture of cash and digital assets on the balance sheet. Bit Digital has elected to enter into a sale-leaseback agreement with a third-party entity for 1,024 GPUs which will reduce the Company’s capital outlay commensurately. Additionally, the Company continues to evaluate debt financing options that would allow the Company to retroactively finance its hardware assets.

Sam Tabar, Bit Digital’s CEO, commented: “We are pleased to finalize terms with our customer to expand their deployment to over 4,000 GPUs. This agreement significantly contributes to our goal of reaching a $100 million annualized revenue run-rate by the end of 2024, bringing us to over 90% of this target. Our primary objective in the HPC business is to execute effectively for our customers and help them achieve their AI ambitions. We continue to see a robust growth trajectory for this segment and look forward to scaling even further as the year progresses.”

Release – Bitcoin Depot Targets Bitcoin Treasury Strategy

Research News and Market Data on BTM

June 17, 2024 8:00 AM EDT

Demonstrates the Company’s Confidence in the Future of Bitcoin by Strategically Allocating a Portion of Cash Reserves to BTC

ATLANTA, June 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Depot (NASDAQ: BTM), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM (“BTM”) operator and leading fintech company, today announced it plans to allocate a portion of its cash reserves to Bitcoin (BTC). Any future purchases will be opportunistic in nature and will not interfere with cash needs to support the company’s multiple growth opportunities.

This shift in BTM’s treasury strategy follows Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-08, which, among other things, allows companies to record gains held on cryptocurrencies. The ASU will apply to all entities with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024.

“Adopting Bitcoin as part of our treasury strategy underscores our long-standing belief in Bitcoin as a significant financial asset and a store of value,” said Brandon Mintz, CEO of Bitcoin Depot. “We have always believed in providing easy access to Bitcoin for everyone, and this move reaffirms our confidence in Bitcoin’s potential for growth and stability. Given the recent accounting standards update, it also allows our shareholders to benefit from future BTC appreciation.”

Bitcoin, as an asset, has demonstrated remarkable resilience and growth since its inception, achieving a market capitalization of over $1 trillion at its peak. Institutional adoption has surged, with numerous companies and even countries recognizing Bitcoin’s value proposition. The introduction of Bitcoin ETFs has further legitimized its standing in traditional financial markets, making it more accessible to a wider range of investors. By including Bitcoin in its treasury strategy, Bitcoin Depot aligns itself with other forward-thinking institutions that see cryptocurrency as a hedge against inflation and a strategic asset for future growth.

This news also marks the latest show of momentum for Bitcoin Depot, which holds the largest market BTM share in North America, with over 7,400 Bitcoin ATM locations. The announcement follows several recent milestones and expansions for the company, including its first partnership with a major grocery chain as well as the advancement of its newly launched profit share program in April 2024.

The company also recently surpassed its goal of signing 8,000 BTM locations ahead of schedule to achieve the largest installed fleet of locations in its history and announced expansions into new markets, including Puerto Rico and Australia.

About Bitcoin Depot 
Bitcoin Depot Inc. (Nasdaq: BTM) was founded in 2016 with the mission to connect those who prefer to use cash to the broader, digital financial system. Bitcoin Depot provides its users with simple, efficient and intuitive means of converting cash into Bitcoin, which users can deploy in the payments, spending and investing space.

In that event, the value of our securities could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment. The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. In addition, our past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results in the future. Future changes in the network-wide mining difficulty rate or bitcoin hash rate may also materially affect the future performance of Bit Digital’s production of bitcoin. Actual operating results will vary depending on many factors including network difficulty rate, total hash rate of the network, the operations of our facilities, the status of our miners, and other factors.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they do involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties, and these expectations may prove to be incorrect. Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release.

BTC Side. Bit Digital produced 63.3 BTC during the month of May, a 47% decrease from 119.3 BTC the prior month. The ‘halving’ is the main contributor to the decrease. The active hash rate as of May 31, 2024, was 2.54 EH/s down from 2.76 EH/s last month due to the Company curtailing some of its machines.

AI and ETH. The Company had 256 servers actively running on its AI contract and earned an estimated $4.2 million of revenue during the month of May 2024. On the staking side, Bit Digital had approximately 17,184 ETH actively staked in native staking protocols, flat from last month. The Company earned a blended APY of 3.1% on its staked ETH.
