Bit Digital has decided to cease Bitcoin mining and redirect all its resources to Ethereum staking. The company has accumulated 24,434 ETH so far and plans to gradually convert its 417.6 BTC to ETH. The funds obtained from Bitcoin mining will be entirely directed towards increasing Ethereum investments and staking revenues.
The cryptocurrency company Bit Digital, listed on Nasdaq with a market value of $488 million, announced in its strategy statement that it has ceased Bitcoin mining at the level of $107,799.65 and will thereafter focus solely on Ethereum staking and treasury management. Thanks to the infrastructure it has built since 2022, the company has accumulated 24,434 ETH valued at $44.6 million. It also aims to gradually convert its 417.6 BTC, valued at $34.5 million, into Ethereum. A process has been initiated to evaluate 'strategic alternatives' for Bitcoin mining activities; the revenues obtained from the sale or liquidation of the mining operation will be entirely directed to Ethereum investments.
Ethereum began offering an annual staking yield ranging from 4% to 6.5% after the Proof of Stake (PoS) system was implemented following The Merge in September 2022. Bit Digital has adopted this regular income as a passive income model. Similarly, SharpLink Gaming, listed on Nasdaq, recently received a $425 million private equity investment led by Consensys, and is expanding its staking strategy with a target of 188,478 ETH.
Bit Digital management announced that the decision to transition entirely to Ethereum is based on an ongoing infrastructure and accumulation process that has lasted for over two years. The staking infrastructure consisting of enterprise-level validator nodes established in 2022 is moving the company to a more sustainable financial model, different from mining. The Proof of Stake mechanism significantly reduces energy costs while supporting the growth of the locked ETH portfolio.
Investors evaluate that regular staking yields can create a more stable cash flow against market fluctuations. Bit Digital's board emphasized that converting Bitcoin positions to ETH is not a profit-taking move but part of a long-term treasury management strategy.
In the same strategy statement, the term 'strategic alternatives' indicates the possibility of the company selling its Bitcoin mining hardware or gradually shutting it down. The funds obtained from the sale are planned to be directed towards Ethereum purchases. Thus, capital allocation will focus on a single crypto asset, and operational costs will become simpler. Bit Digital stated that it will strengthen liquidity management by implementing regulation-compliant custody solutions and risk distribution protocols during this process. Experts indicate that exiting mining could increase the cash surplus on the company's balance sheet and positively affect shareholder value.
Financial Impacts of Exiting Mining
Exiting Bitcoin mining means that Bit Digital is abandoning its energy-intensive revenue model. High electricity costs and increasing miner competition have put pressure on the company's profitability. The Proof of Stake approach alleviates these pressures. From now on, the company will allocate resources to software-based validator node pools instead of hardware investments. This will reduce capital expenditures while increasing operational flexibility.
The example of SharpLink Gaming, which adopts a similar strategy in the market, shows that Ethereum-focused treasury strategies are increasingly preferred by corporate companies. SharpLink's $490 million ETH target serves as a strong example that it is possible to turn staking yields into a passive income source. Experts state that Bit Digital's growth of its ETH portfolio will bring the company even closer to the opportunities offered by the Ethereum ecosystem. The stable cash flow provided by regular staking yields is considered attractive for institutional investors seeking transparency in risk management and balance sheet stability.
