The company began building its ether position and Ethereum staking infrastructure in 2022. As of March 31, Bit Digital held 24,434.2 ETH, valued at $44.6 million, and 417.6 BTC worth $34.5 million. It plans to convert the remaining bitcoin into ether over time.
To fund the transition, Bit Digital has started a process to sell or wind down its bitcoin mining operations. Net proceeds from the divestiture will be reinvested in ether. No specific timeline was given for the sale or conversion of assets.
The announcement marks a significant pivot for a company once rooted in bitcoin mining, especially considering the incredible run BTC has been on compared to ETH. The ETH/BTC ratio is down 75% since December 2021.
However, the move isn't a big surprise given how tough the mining industry has become since last year's halving cut the BTC rewards for miners to half, squeezing profit margins, despite rally in bitcoin prices.
The firm has also announced that it will be selling shares to fund the purchase of more ether, and that its high-performance computing (HPC) subsidiary, WhiteFiber, has submitted a draft registration letter with the Securities and Exchange Commission with regards to going public.
BTBT is down 3.41% in after hours trading.
