Bit Digital, Inc. Executes MSA for 576 H200 GPU Deal with DNA AI Compute Fund

NEW YORK, Dec. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bit Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTBT) ("Bit Digital" or the "Company"), a global platform for high-performance computing ("HPC") infrastructure and digital asset production headquartered in New York, announced today that it has executed an MSA with a new client, an AI Compute Fund managed by DNA Holdings Venture Inc., which provides for 576 Nvidia H200 GPUs over a two-year term. The contract represents an aggregate revenue opportunity of approximately $20.2 million for Bit Digital and is expected to commence in February 2025.

This announcement builds on the term sheet previously signed and disclosed on November 20, 2024. Under the terms of the deal, Bit Digital will supply the customer with 72 H200 servers (576 GPUs) for an initial two-year term. Bit Digital will fulfill the contract with GPUs that are currently on order and awaiting delivery to a third-party data center in Iceland. Earlier this month, Bit Digital placed a purchase order for 130 H200 servers (1,040 GPUs) for approximately $30 million. The Company anticipates deploying the remainder of those GPUs to separate customer contracts.

Sam Tabar, Bit Digital's CEO, commented: "We are thrilled to formalize our partnership with DNA Fund. This strategic collaboration underscores our commitment to delivering high-performance computing solutions tailored to our clients' evolving needs.

This contract is a meaningful step toward achieving our long-term growth objectives. While we now expect to reach our $100MM annualized revenue run-rate goal for our HPC business in early 2025, this timeline reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize high-quality revenue opportunities and disciplined capital management. As we navigate a significant chip upgrade cycle, we have been selective about the deals we pursue, focusing on the right customers, favorable terms, and pricing. This approach enables us to mitigate residual value risk while maintaining the financial flexibility needed to support our data center expansion and next-generation GPU investments.

With a robust balance sheet and a strong pipeline of opportunities, we remain confident in our ability to achieve sustained growth and strengthen our leadership position in the HPC market."

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 Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 ("Annual Report"). Notwithstanding the fact that Bit Digital Inc. has not conducted operations in the PRC since September 30, 2021 we have previously disclosed under Risk Factors in our Annual Report: "We may be subject to fines and penalties for any noncompliance with or any liabilities in our former business in China in a certain period from now on." Although the statute of limitations for non-compliance by our former business in the PRC is generally two years and the Company has been out of the PRC, for more than two years, the Authority may still find its prior bitcoin mining operations involved a threat to financial security. In such event, the two-year period would be extended to five years. 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. See "Safe Harbor Statement" below.
