In conjunction with the Company’s transition to domestic filer status, Bit Digital filed its Form 10K report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 14, 2025. The Company will host a conference call on March 14, 2025, at 10:00 AM ET to discuss results (click here for registration information).

Financial Highlights for Fiscal Year 2024               

Total revenue for fiscal year 2024 was $108.1 million, a 141% increase compared to the prior year’s results. The increase was primarily driven by the commencement of our high performance computing services (“HPC”) business.

Revenue from bitcoin mining was $58.6 million for fiscal year 2024 , a 32% increase compared to the prior year. Cloud services revenue was $45.7 million for 2024 compared to nil the prior year. Colocation services revenue, related to the Company’s acquisition of Enovum Data Centers Corp in October 2024, was $1.4 million for the period. ETH staking revenue was $1.8 million for 2024, a 169% increase from the prior year.

Revenue from digital asset mining comprised 54% of total revenue for 2024 compared to 98% during 2023. The change was driven by the commencement of the Company’s HPC business lines, with cloud services revenue generating 42% of total 2024 revenue. Digital asset mining comprised 40% of revenue during the fourth quarter of 2024.

The Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $98.9 million, and total liquidity (defined as cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, USDC, and the fair market value of digital assets) of approximately $260.7 million, as of December 31, 2024.

Total assets were $538.2 million and Shareholders’ Equity amounted to $463.5 million as of December 31, 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA[1] was $73.0 million for the fiscal year 2024 compared to $12.4 million for fiscal year 2023. Adjusted EBITDA includes a $55.7 million in pre-tax gains on digital assets.

GAAP earnings per share was $0.19 on a fully diluted basis for fiscal year 2024 compared to a loss per share of $(0.16) for the prior year.

Operational Highlights for Fiscal Year 2024

The Company earned 949.9 bitcoins during fiscal year 2024 , a 37% decrease from the prior year. The decline was primarily driven by a reduction in block rewards following the halving event in April 2024 and by an increase in network difficulty, and partially offset by an increase in the Company’s average operational hash rate.

The Company paid approximately $0.05 per kilowatt hour to its hosting partners for electricity consumed for mining operations during fiscal year 2024 .

The average fleet efficiency for the active fleet was approximately 26.2 J/TH as of December 31, 2024.

The Company earned 565.1 ETH in native staking and 1.3 ETH in liquid staking, respectively, during 2024, compared to 287.0 ETH in native staking and 81.9 ETH/rETH-h in liquid staking, respectively, for 2023.

Treasury holdings of BTC and ETH were 741.9 and 27,623.2, respectively, with a fair market value of approximately $69.3 million and $92.1 million on December 31, 2024, respectively.

As of December 31, 2024, we had 24,239 miners owned or operating (in Iceland) for bitcoin mining with a total maximum hash rate of 2.6 EH/s.

The Company’s active hash rate of its bitcoin mining fleet was approximately 1.8 EH/s as of December 31, 2024.

Approximately 85% of our fleet’s run-rate electricity consumption was generated from carbon-free energy sources as of December 31, 2024. These figures are based on data provided by our hosts, publicly available sources, and internal estimates, demonstrating our commitment to sustainable practices in the digital asset mining industry.

The Company had approximately 21,568 ETH actively staked in native staking protocols as of December 31, 2024.

On October 9, 2024, the Company executed a Master Services and Lease Agreement (“MSA”) with Boosteroid Inc. (“Boosteroid”), a global cloud gaming provider. The Company finalized an initial order of 300 GPUs, projected to generate approximately $4.6 million in revenue over the five-year term. The MSA provides Boosteroid with the option to expand in increments of 100 servers, up to 50,000 servers, representing a potential $700 million revenue opportunity over the five-year term, subject to deployment plans and market conditions. The Company anticipates additional deployments throughout 2025.

On October 14, 2024, Bit Digital announced the acquisition of Enovum Data Centers (“Enovum”) for a total consideration of CAD $62.8MM (approximately USD $46MM based on a CAD/USD exchange rate of 0.73). The acquisition was completed on a debt-free basis, with a normalized level of working capital acquired, funded by approximately CAD $56 million of cash and approximately 1.62 million share equivalents issued solely to key management who rolled-over a significant portion of their existing ownership in Enovum. The transaction closed on October 11, 2024. The acquisition vertically integrated Bit Digital’s HPC operations with a 4MW Tier 3 datacenter in Montreal that is fully leased to a plurality of colocation customers. It also provided Bit Digital with a robust expansion pipeline and an experienced team to lead the development process.

On December 30, 2024, the Company signed a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with DNA Fund for services utilizing 576 H200 GPUs over 25 months, representing $20.2 million in total revenue.

On December 27, 2024, the Company acquired a 160,000 sq. ft. site in Pointe-Claire, QC for a planned 5MW Tier-3 data center expansion. The site is expected to be operational by June 2025, will feature direct-to-chip liquid cooling and a heat reject loop to enhance energy efficiency. The facility will be powered by 100% renewable hydroelectricity from Hydro-Quebec. The Company expects to invest approximately $19.3 million to develop the site, with potential expansion to 13MW within 24-36 months, subject to Hydro-Quebec approval. A portion of the capacity is expected to support the Company’s cloud services business. The acquisition was initially self-funded, with mortgage financing in progress.

In January 2025, the Company entered into a new agreement to supply its first customer for an additional 464 B200 GPUs for a period of eighteen months. This new agreement replaces the prior agreement whereby the Company was to provide the customer with an incremental 2,048 H100 GPUs. The contract represents approximately $15 million of annualized revenue and features a two-month prepayment from the customer.

On February 6, 2025, the Company officially rebranded its HPC business as WhiteFiber, Inc., encompassing its GPU cloud services and HPC data center platform, Enovum Data Centers.

In February 2025, the Company, through its newly rebranded HPC business WhiteFiber, Inc., secured a five-year colocation agreement to provide 5MW (IT load) of built-to-suit data center infrastructure with Cerebras Systems, a leading accelerator of generative AI. The contract will be fulfilled at an Enovum-developed site, with the location to be announced. Operations are expected to commence in mid-2025.

Management Commentary

“2024 marked a pivotal shift for Bit Digital. Our business was historically driven by digital asset mining, but the successful launch and rapid expansion of our HPC business fundamentally reshaped our company. This evolution drove over 140% revenue growth, with these new business lines contributing nearly half of total revenue.

A defining milestone in this transformation was our acquisition of Enovum Data Centers in October. More than just an infrastructure expansion, Enovum provided us with a proven team, operational expertise, and a scalable platform to develop and operate data centers. It also introduced colocation services as a new business line, further diversifying our revenue streams and strengthening our AI compute capabilities.

Bitcoin mining remained a key revenue contributor, generating $58.6 million, a 32% increase year-over-year. However, as our HPC business scaled, mining’s share of total revenue declined to 54% in 2024, and further to 40% in Q424, compared to 98% in 2023. This shift underscores our strategic pivot toward infrastructure-driven revenue streams while maintaining disciplined mining operations.

Profitability improved alongside business expansion, supported by stronger gross margins and operational efficiencies. A strong liquidity position and no debt provide the flexibility to make targeted investments that enhance capabilities and long-term competitiveness. The Company is actively exploring cost-effective financing options to support expansion while maintaining financial discipline.

We are continuously exploring new ways to unlock and create shareholder value, ensuring that we remain dynamic and well-positioned for future opportunities.”

A New Standard in Clinical Care for MASH Patients: HistoIndex Launches FibroSIGHT™

Published

on

By

SINGAPORE, March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — HistoIndex, a global leader in stain-free digital pathology solutions for managing fibrotic diseases, has announced the launch of their first Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) FibroSIGHT™ – now available in the United States. This marks a significant milestone for HistoIndex as the company enters clinical care for patients with Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH). “I am excited to see how our core expertise in clinical trial assessments is now transcending into the realm of precise and personalized patient care,” said Dr. Gideon Ho, Chief Executive Officer of HistoIndex.” With FibroSIGHT, we aim to empower clinicians with a more definitive and accurate assessment of liver fibrosis.”

MASH has long been a challenging and progressive liver disease, characterized by fat build-up and inflammation that, if left untreated, leads to fibrosis and, ultimately, cirrhosis. After decades of research and therapeutic development, the field reached a pivotal moment in 2024 with the approval of Rezdiffra® – the first drug for the treatment of MASH with moderate to advanced fibrosis[1,2*]. As treatment options expand, accurate fibrosis assessment becomes even more critical in guiding clinical decisions and optimizing patient outcomes. HistoIndex has been playing a key role in the development of MASH treatments and is now leading the way in this next phase of patient care with FibroSIGHT.

FibroSIGHT seamlessly integrates into routine clinical workflows, leveraging on HistoIndex’s proprietary stain-free imaging technology to enhance the sensitivity of fibrillar collagens detection — key in evaluating fibrosis severity in liver biopsy samples (see Figure 1). By eliminating variability associated with traditional staining techniques, FibroSIGHT delivers reliable and precise fibrosis assessment for MASH patients.

Clinicians can now order FibroSIGHT for MASH patients, on whom liver biopsies were performed, whenever definitive and accurate assessments of fibrosis are needed[2,3]. This includes use at the time of diagnosis to determine treatment decisions, when non-invasive assessments of degree of fibrosis are either inconclusive or discordant. Additionally, FibroSIGHT can be ordered post treatment to evaluate patients’ response, especially in cases where there are no apparent improvement.

“By providing more accurate and objective evaluation of fibrosis, FibroSIGHT will enable more personalized treatment strategies and better evaluations of effectiveness of treatment leading to overall better care for patients,” commented Dr Naim Alkhouri, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Arizona Liver Health. “Where biopsy evaluation is needed for a MASH patient, I can see incorporating FibroSIGHT in the workup, and in doing so, benefiting the entire MASH clinical care community.”

FibroSIGHT testing is performed in HistoIndex’s CAP/CLIA accredited laboratory in Irvine, California. With the launch of FibroSIGHT, HistoIndex reaffirms its long-standing commitment in advancing fibrosis assessment and personalized treatment for MASH. By bridging research with clinical care, FibroSIGHT empowers informed treatment decisions, driving better patient care in the evolving landscape of liver disease management.

About MASH

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a progressive form of Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) characterized by steatosis and inflammation, which can lead to fibrosis (scarring), cirrhosis, liver failure, and an increased risk of liver cancer. The presence of ballooned hepatocytes (enlarged and damaged liver cells) is a key feature distinguishing MASH from simple steatosis. Pathologist assessments of liver biopsy remain the gold standard for diagnosing and assessing the severity of MASH. Histological categorial scoring systems are often used as surrogate endpoints to evaluate drug efficacy in clinical trials. These endpoints are limited in capturing the complex and heterogeneous nature of the disease. As a result, there is a growing need for more accurate and reliable tools, such as AI-based digital pathology solutions, to improve the assessment of treatment response and disease severity in MASH.

About HistoIndex

Founded in 2010, HistoIndex pioneers in stain-free, fully automated imaging solutions for visualizing and quantifying fibrosis in biological tissues. By combining cutting-edge biophotonic technology with AI-based analysis, HistoIndex provides innovative tools to improve the assessment of fibrosis changes and drug efficacy. HistoIndex’s breakthrough digital pathology solutions are currently used in accelerating clinical research, expediting pharmaceutical drug development, and transforming medical standards.
