      HONG KONG, Aug. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BIT Mining Limited (NYSE: BTCM) ("BIT Mining," "the Company," "we," "us," or "our company"), a leading cryptocurrency mining enterprise, today reported its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

      Cryptocurrency Business Progress

      BIT Mining has completed the transition of its business to an enterprise that covers cryptocurrency mining, data center operation and mining pool.  

      The Company has commenced ethereum mining operations outside of mainland China, with a theoretical maximum total hash rate capacity of 600 GH/s deployed as of today. Based on the entire ethereum hash rate and ethereum price[1] of US$3,309 as of today, we currently produce approximately 13 ethereum per day, which are worth approximately US$43,017 in aggregate. The direct monthly costs of our ethereum mining operations are lower than 10% of the  monthly revenue we recognized from ethereum mining operations, based on today's ethereum price. Ethereum mining machines with a total hash rate capacity of 4,800 GH/s are expected to be deployed by the end of October 2021.

      As of today, the theoretical maximum total hash rate capacity of bitcoin mining machines of the Company is approximately 1,425.3 PH/s. The Company has adopted a development strategy to focus on expanding its cryptocurrency mining operations globally. As of today, we have delivered 7,849 bitcoin mining machines with a total hash rate capacity of 292.7 PH/s to Kazakhstan, of which 3,293 bitcoin mining machines, with a total hash rate capacity of 121.0 PH/s, have been deployed at data centers in Kazakhstan and 4,556 bitcoin mining machines are waiting to be deployed. For the second quarter of 2021, we produced 186 bitcoins from cryptocurrency mining business, and recognized revenue of approximately US$9.5 million, representing approximately 2.1% of the Company's total net revenues.

      In terms of data center business, the Company has announced that it has entered into several term sheets to invest in cryptocurrency mining data centers globally, in May and June 2021. On June 21, 2021, we announced that two big data centers have suspended their operations according to the written notice from State Grid Sichuan Ganzi Electric Power Co., Ltd.. Data centers in Sichuan recognized revenue of approximately US$11.4 million, representing approximately 2.6% of the Company's total net revenues for the second quarter of 2021. We are now in the process of constructing one of our new data centers outside of mainland China, which is expected to begin operation late in the third quarter of 2021. In the meantime, the Company is proactively seeking additional high-quality mining resources to better execute its global development strategy.

      On April 15, 2021, we completed our acquisition of the entire mining pool business of Bitdeer Technologies Holding Company operated under BTC.com, including the domain name BTC.com and the cryptocurrency wallet of BTC.com. As a leading multi-currency comprehensive service mining pool, the total hash rate capacity of BTC.com accounts for about 10% of the entire bitcoin hash rate and the actual hash rate has remained fairly stable so far. From April 15, 2021 to June 30, 2021, the mining pool business recognized (i) revenue of approximately US$422.8 million, representing approximately 95.0% of the Company's total net revenues for the second quarter of 2021, and (ii) cost of revenue of approximately US$414.4 million, exclusive of depreciation and amortization.

      Removal of VIE Structure and Disposal of Chinese Lottery Business

      We have previously conducted our lottery business in China through a series of contractual arrangements with the lottery business related VIEs. In July 2021, the Company announced its decision to dispose of its Chinese lottery related business and the Company terminated all of its lottery business related VIE contracts. The lottery business-related VIE subsidiaries will be deconsolidated and their financial results will no longer be included in the Company's consolidated financial statements in the third quarter of this year as a result of eliminating the VIE structure.

The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to a decrease of RMB2.0 million in share-based compensation expenses associated with share options granted to the Company's directors and employees and a decrease of RMB0.4 million in expenses for employees, which were partially offset by an increase of RMB1.4 million in marketing and promotion expense.

      General and administrative expenses were RMB45.9 million (US$7.1 million) for the second quarter of 2021, representing an increase of RMB10.5 million or 29.7% from RMB35.4 million for the second quarter of 2020, and an increase of RMB23.3 million or 103.1% from RMB22.6 million for the first quarter of 2021. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to an increase of RMB17.3 million in consulting expenses, an increase of RMB5.7 million in expenses for employees mainly due to consolidations of Loto Interactive and the mining pool business and an increase of RMB1.4 million in transaction expense associated with mining pool business, which were partially offset by a decrease of RMB12.1 million in share-based compensation expenses associated with share options granted to the Company's directors and employees and a decrease of RMB4.5 million depreciation mainly associated with leasehold improvements for the partial termination of our office lease in Shenzhen. The sequential increase was mainly due to an increase of RMB10.0 million in consulting expenses, an increase of RMB7.1 million in expenses for employees mainly due to consolidations of Loto Interactive and the mining pool business, an increase of RMB1.5 million in rental expense associated with Loto Interactive office rent and an increase of RMB1.3 million in transaction expense associated with mining pool business.

The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to a decrease of RMB4.2 million in share-based compensation expenses associated with share options granted to the Company's directors and employees which were partially offset by an increase of RMB1.0 million in expenses for employees mainly due to consolidations of Loto Interactive and the mining pool business. The sequential increase was mainly due to an increase of RMB2.8 million in expenses for employees mainly due to consolidations of Loto Interactive and the mining pool business. 

      Net Loss on Disposal of Cryptocurrencies

      Net loss on disposal of cryptocurrencies was RMB 55.6 million (US$8.6 million) for the second quarter of 2021, related to the decreasing market prices for cryptocurrencies by using FIFO to calculate the cost of disposition during the second quarter of 2021. There was no such net loss for the second quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021.

      Impairment of Cryptocurrencies

      Impairment of cryptocurrencies was RMB57.3 million (US$8.9 million) for the second quarter of 2021, mainly due to the decreasing market prices for cryptocurrency assets including the cryptocurrencies payable to pool participants related to mining pool business during the second quarter of 2021.

      Operating Loss
