Bit Digital Abandons Bitcoin Mining To Become Pure-Play $ETH Company


Crypto miner Bit Digital (BTBT) has announced a strategic shift to become a "pure-play" $ETH staking and treasury company.


The publicly traded firm will wind down all Bitcoin mining operations and redeploy proceeds into $ETH purchases.


Bit Digital currently holds 24,434.2 $ETH valued at $44.6 million, and 417.6 $BTC worth $34.5 million.


The company plans to convert its Bitcoin holdings into Ethereum "over time" as part of the strategic transition.


According to a statement, Bit Digital has operated "one of the largest institutional $ETH staking infrastructures globally" since beginning accumulation in 2022.


The firm announced a public stock offering to fund additional $ETH purchases alongside spinning out its HPC subsidiary WhiteFiber.


$BTBT shares closed down 3.7% and fell another 6% in after-hours trading following the announcement.


The move follows a trend of firms launching crypto treasury strategies offering leveraged exposure to digital assets like $ETH.
