NEW
YORK, Nov. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Bit Digital,
Inc. (Nasdaq: BTBT) ("Bit Digital" or the "Company"), a sustainable
digital infrastructure platform for digital assets and cloud
computing services, headquartered in New
York City, announced its unaudited digital asset production
and corporate updates for the month of October 2023.
Corporate Highlights for October
2023
- In October 2023, the Company
produced 111.6 BTC, a 14% decrease compared to the prior month. The
decrease was primarily driven by an increase in network difficulty,
a power utility mandated maintenance outage that temporarily
reduced operating hash rate at one location, and the relocation of
miners from one hosting location following the conclusion of that
hosting agreement.
- The Company's active hash rate was approximately 2.0 EH/s as of
October 31, 2023.
- Treasury holdings of BTC and ETH were 511.1 and
16,022.5 with a fair market value of approximately $17.7 million and $29.1
million, respectively, on October 31,
2023.
- The BTC equivalent[1] of our digital asset holdings
as of October 31, 2023, was
approximately 1,394.4 or approximately $48.3
million.
- The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $24.4 million as of October 31, 2023.
Proof-of-Stake Highlights
- The Company had approximately 12,752 ETH actively
staked in native and liquid staking protocols as of October 31, 2023. Approximately 12,352 were
natively staked and 400 ETH were deployed in liquid
staking protocols as of that date.
- Bit Digital earned a blended APY of approximately 4.25% on its
staked ETH position for the month of October 2023.
- The Company earned aggregate staking rewards of approximately
46.08 ETH during October
2023.

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, 2022. 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.

[1] "BTC equivalent" is a
hypothetical illustration of the value of our digital asset
portfolio in bitcoin terms. BTC equivalent is
defined as if all non-BTC digital assets, comprised
of ETH, sETH-h, LsETH, and USDC, were converted
into BTC as of October 31, 2023, and added to our
existing BTC balance. Conversion values are found using
the closing price on coinmarketcap.com. The closing price
of ETH is used as a proxy for the price
of sETH-H (receipt token) on a 1:1 basis.
