Research News and Market Data on BTBT

NEW YORK, December 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bit Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTBT) (“Bit Digital” or the “Company”), a global platform for high-performance computing (“HPC”) infrastructure and digital asset production headquartered in New York, announced today that it has executed an MSA with a new client, an AI Compute Fund managed by DNA Holdings Venture Inc., which provides for 576 Nvidia H200 GPUs over a two-year term. The contract represents an aggregate revenue opportunity of approximately $20.2 million for Bit Digital and is expected to commence in February 2025.

This announcement builds on the term sheet previously signed and disclosed on November 20, 2024. Under the terms of the deal, Bit Digital will supply the customer with 72 H200 servers (576 GPUs) for an initial two-year term. Bit Digital will fulfill the contract with GPUs that are currently on order and awaiting delivery to a third-party data center in Iceland. Earlier this month, Bit Digital placed a purchase order for 130 H200 servers (1,040 GPUs) for approximately $30 million. The Company anticipates deploying the remainder of those GPUs to separate customer contracts.

Sam Tabar, Bit Digital’s CEO, commented: “We are thrilled to formalize our partnership with DNA Fund. This strategic collaboration underscores our commitment to delivering high-performance computing solutions tailored to our clients’ evolving needs.

This contract is a meaningful step toward achieving our long-term growth objectives. While we now expect to reach our $100MM annualized revenue run-rate goal for our HPC business in early 2025, this timeline reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize high-quality revenue opportunities and disciplined capital management. As we navigate a significant chip upgrade cycle, we have been selective about the deals we pursue, focusing on the right customers, favorable terms, and pricing. This approach enables us to mitigate residual value risk while maintaining the financial flexibility needed to support our data center expansion and next-generation GPU investments.

With a robust balance sheet and a strong pipeline of opportunities, we remain confident in our ability to achieve sustained growth and strengthen our leadership position in the HPC market.”

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 Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (“Annual Report”). Notwithstanding the fact that Bit Digital Inc. has not conducted operations in the PRC since September 30, 2021 we have previously disclosed under Risk Factors in our Annual Report: “We may be subject to fines and penalties for any noncompliance with or any liabilities in our former business in China in a certain period from now on.” Although the statute of limitations for non-compliance by our former business in the PRC is generally two years and the Company has been out of the PRC, for more than two years, the Authority may still find its prior bitcoin mining operations involved a threat to financial security. In such event, the two-year period would be extended to five years. 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.

Research News and Market Data on BTBT

NEW YORK, December 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bit Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTBT) (“Bit Digital” or the “Company”), a global platform for high-performance computing (“HPC”) infrastructure and digital asset production headquartered in New York, announced today that is has acquired the real estate and building for a build-to-suit 5MW Tier-3 data center expansion project in Montreal, Canada. This acquisition is part of Bit Digital’s strategy to expand its HPC data center footprint to 32MW during 2025. This site also comprises part of Bit Digital’s 288MW proprietary pipeline announced earlier this year.

Bit Digital purchased the site (“MTL2”) for CAD $33.5 million (approximately USD $23.3MM assuming a CAD/USD exchange rate of 0.70) excluding fees. The acquisition closed on December 27, 2024. Bit Digital initially funded the purchase with cash on hand and is in the process of securing mortgage financing for both the site acquisition and subsequent infrastructure capex.

The Company expects to spend approximately CAD $27.6 million (approx. USD $19.3MM) to develop the site to Tier-3 standards with an initial gross load of 5MW. The site is expected to be completed and operational by May 2025.

MTL2, a 160,000 square feet site that was previously used as an encapsulation manufacturing facility, is located in Pointe-Claire, QC. Bit Digital plans to retrofit the site with advanced cooling technology, including direct-to-chip liquid cooling, which enhances energy efficiency and supports AI and other high-performance workloads with 150kW rack density. The Company is collaborating with third parties to implement a heat reject loop to further enhance the sustainability profile of the datacenter. The facility will be powered by 100% renewable hydroelectricity provided by Hydro-Quebec. Additionally, the site offers the potential to expand, enabling scalable growth aligned with market demand.

Sam Tabar, Bit Digital’s CEO, commented: “This site acquisition marks an important step forward in our data center growth plans. This site is a Class A industrial property that was a former encapsulation manufacturing facility that included premium infrastructure specifications. It is located in one of the most desirable commercial real estate locations in Montreal. By leveraging the existing infrastructure, including over CAD $750 thousand worth of advanced HVAC equipment included in the purchase, we are able to lower our development costs and accelerate our time to market – a key advantage and core tenet of our development strategy. The development timeline aligns with the demands of a new customer that intends to fill the capacity with new generation Nvidia GPUs.

We are in the process of securing cost-effective mortgage financing for this project which we intend to announce upon finalization. We believe this will ultimately showcase Bit Digital’s ability to cost-effectively finance its data center buildout in a non-dilutive manner.”

3Q Results. Revenue of $22.7 million was lower than our and consensus estimate of $23.2 million and $25.9 million, respectively. The BTC halving resulted in lower revenue. Higher electricity costs, D&A, G&A, and a loss of $21.9 million on digital assets led to the reduced net loss of $38.8 million, or $0.26/sh, from our consensus estimate of a loss of $2.3 million, or $0.02/sh, and loss of $2.9 million, or $0.02/sh, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA was a negative $21.8 million compared to a negative $2.9 million last year.

Seizing Opportunity. After 3Q ended, Bit Digital entered into one term sheet agreement and two Master Services Agreements. Together, the three provide roughly $21 million in annual revenue once servers are fully deployed. Alongside this is the Boosteroid agreement, as management expects that to reach approximately 20% of the $700 million opportunity, or 10,000 GPUs, through the course of 2025, translating to $30 million of revenue annually.

AI Revenue In-line. As of October 31, Bit Digital had 256 servers actively generating revenue and earned approximately $4.3 million of unaudited revenue during the month, in-line with the prior month. With the recent agreement signed with Boosteroid, we expect an uptick in revenue in the coming months.

Mining Business. The Company produced 52.2 BTC in the month, a 1.4% increase from 51.5 BTC in September. The active hash rate was 2.43 EH/s, flat with the prior month. In our view, management is continuing to take an opportunistic approach to mining, with additional miner acquisitions based on appropriate returns on invested capital.

NEW YORK, November 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bit Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTBT) (“Bit Digital” or the “Company”), a global platform for high-performance computing (“HPC”) infrastructure and digital asset production headquartered in New York, announced today that it has executed a Master Service Agreement (“MSA”) with Boosteroid Inc.

MSA Signed. Yesterday, Bit Digital announced that the Company executed its Master Service Agreement (MSA) with Boosteroid Inc. This follows the previously signed binding term sheet with Boosteroid in August 2024. Importantly, the MSA is a five-year term and the Company has placed an initial purchase order of 300 GPUs for its servers.

Performance Impact. The purchase order translates to approximately $4.6 million over five years, or $0.9 million annualized. Management noted that the GPUs are expected to be delivered and begin earning revenue by the end of November. The GPUs will be installed in U.S. datacenters, with management noting there are another 600 GPUs in the pipeline for European datacenters. With the Enovum datacenter fully leased, the machines will go into third party locations, at least in the short-term.

Management Comments. We had an opportunity to speak with management to further refine our go forward projections following the Enovum acquisition announcement. Management noted the mining business continues to be impacted post halving with reduced BTC production. Bit Digital mined 165.5 BTC in 3Q24, down from 244.2 BTC in 2Q24 and 410.7 BTC in 1Q24. For its GPU Cloud Services, management provided no new update on the Boosteroids contract or on its key customer and has seen roughly steady income throughout the third quarter. We had anticipated additional deployments under the key customer contract in 2024.

New Estimates. With the comments made from management, we refined our estimates to reflect the operating environment on both the segments. The lower BTC production results in a drop in 3Q24 mining revenue to $10.3 million from a prior $13.5 million, while our GPU segment revenue falls to $12.5 from a prior $18 million. For the third quarter, we now estimate total revenue of $23.2 million from our prior model of $31.9 million. Net loss is now $2.5 million or a loss of $0.02/sh from a prior estimate of net income of $1.5 million or $0.01/sh. Adj. EBITDA is now $6.7 million down from $10.6 million. For the year, we estimate total revenue of $120.5 million, down from our prior $133.2 million, net income of $37.5 million or EPS of $0.30, down from $42.1 million or $0.33, and adj. EBITDA of $78.7 million, down from $82.8 million.

New Service. Bit Digital’s acquisition of Enovum provides a new vertical within the HPC business in AI/HPC colocation services. As noted in our previous report, the new business will vertically integrate Bit Digital’s HPC business and complement the current GPU Cloud service segment.

Colocation Expansion and Synergies. The new service offers longer contract terms (4-12 years versus 2-5) and higher gross margin (70-80% versus 65-75%) than the current GPU Cloud service. With a potential 8MW expansion, annualized EBITDA can climb to $13 million, and the additional 20MW expansion can further climb it to $45 million. The data centers also can be extended to its GPU Cloud service through storing procured GPUs, offering capacity to customers on a just-in-time basis, or to boost margins instead of hosting third party GPUs. We believe the scalability and potential synergies present an exciting vertical now and in the future.

HPC Business Integrated. Bit Digital announced the acquisition of Enovum Data Centers for approximately CAD $62.8 million (USD $46 million), consisting of CAD$56 million in cash and 1.62 million shares being issued to Enovum’s management. The transaction will vertically integrate the Company’s HPC business with a Tier 3 datacenter and a pipeline of expansion site opportunities. In addition to vertically integrating and potential expansion, the acquisition provides Bit Digital with potential synergies for margin expansion and operational flexibility.

Who is Enovum? Enovum is an owner, operator, and developer of HPC datacenters based in Montreal, Canada. The company has a 4MW Tier 3 datacenter in Montreal powered by renewable hydroelectricity, a benefit to Bit Digital’s carbon-free strategy. The site is leased through 2036 with two five-year extension options, and is fully leased to more than a dozen customers with it expected to generate CAD$10 million of revenue in 2025.

AI Services. Bit Digital had 256 servers actively generating revenue from its initial Bit Digital AI contract, as of September 30, 2024, and earned approximately $4.2 million of unaudited revenue from this contract during the month.

Mining Side. The Company produced 51.5 BTC in September, a 3.6% decrease from last month’s 53.4 BTC. The active hash rate was 2.43 EH/s, flat with the previous month. Management will continue to be opportunistic with miner purchases dependent upon the returns, in our view.
