May 15, 2025

NEW YORK, May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bit Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTBT) (the “Company”), a global platform for high-performance computing (“HPC”) infrastructure and digital asset production headquartered in New York City, today announced its financial results for the First Quarter of 2025. The Company will host a conference call on May 16, 2025, at 10:00 AM ET to discuss results (click here for registration information).

Financial Highlights for First Quarter of 2025

Total revenue for the First Quarter of 2025 was $25.1 million, a 17% decrease compared to the prior year’s results. The decrease was driven by a decline in Digital asset mining revenue following the April 2024 halving and partially offset by continued growth in Cloud services revenue and the addition of Colocation services revenue.Revenue from bitcoin mining was $7.8 million for the quarter, a 64% decrease compared to the prior year’s quarter. Cloud services revenue was $14.8 million, an 84% increase from the prior year’s quarter. Colocation services revenue was $1.6 million for the quarter as compared to none in the prior year’s quarter. ETH staking revenue was $0.6 million for the quarter, a 72% increase from the prior year’s quarter.Revenue from digital asset mining comprised 31% of total revenue for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 72% for the prior year’s quarter.The Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $61.3 million, and total liquidity (defined as cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, USDC, and the fair market value of digital assets) of approximately $141.4 million, as of March 31, 2025.Total assets were $458.2 million and Shareholders’ Equity amounted to $417.4 million as of March 31, 2025.Adjusted EBITDA[1] was $(44.5) million for the First Quarter of 2025 compared to $58.5 million for the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2025 includes $49.2 million in mark-to-market losses on digital assets compared to $45.7 million of gains in Q1 2024.GAAP loss per share was $(0.32) on a fully diluted basis for the First Quarter of 2025 compared to earnings per share of $0.43 for the first quarter of 2024.

Operational Highlights for First Quarter of 2025

The Company earned 83.3 bitcoins during the First Quarter of 2025, an 80% decrease from the prior year. The decline was driven by a reduction in block rewards following the halving event in April 2024, an increase in network difficulty, and a decrease in the Company’s average operational hash rate following a fleet deployment in connection with the Company’s exit from Coinmint facilities.The Company earned 211.0 ETH in native staking for the three months ended March 31, 2025.Treasury holdings of BTC and ETH were 417.6 and 24,434.2, respectively, with a fair market value of approximately $34.5 million and $44.5 million on March 31, 2025, respectively.As of March 31, 2025, we had 20,854 miners owned or operating (in Iceland) for bitcoin mining with a total maximum hash rate of 2.4 EH/s. The Company’s active hash rate of its bitcoin mining fleet was approximately 1.5 EH/s as of March 31, 2025.The Company had approximately 21,568 ETH actively staked in native staking protocols as of March 31, 2025.As of January 1, 2025, Bit Digital officially transitioned to domestic issuer status under U.S. securities law.In January 2025, the Company entered into a new agreement to supply its first customer for an additional 464 B200 GPUs for a period of eighteen months. This new agreement replaced the prior agreement whereby the Company was to provide the customer with an incremental 2,048 H100 GPUs. The contract represents approximately $15 million of annualized revenue and features a two-month prepayment from the customer. The customer has elected to defer the commencement date until August 20th, 2025, which is the latest allowable date under the agreement.In addition to the above, the Company signed multiple new cloud services agreements during the first quarter totaling more than 200 NVIDIA H200 GPUs, with contract durations ranging from one to twelve months. These deployments supported training and inference workloads and reflect continued momentum and customer diversification across the Company’s GPU cloud platform.In February, the Company officially rebranded its HPC business as WhiteFiber, Inc., encompassing its GPU cloud services and HPC data center platform, Enovum Data Centers.In February, the Company, through its high-performance computing platform WhiteFiber, secured a five-year, 5MW colocation agreement with Cerebras Systems (“Cerebras”), a leader in generative AI. In April, Bit Digital announced the selection of a new data center site in Saint-Jérôme, Québec (“MTL-3“) to fulfill the contract. The facility, being developed by Enovum under a lease-to-own structure, is expected to commence operations in July 2025, with total development costs estimated at approximately CAD $55 million (approximately $40 million USD). Cerebras holds a right of first refusal for additional capacity at the site.In March, the Company announced a strategic partnership between WhiteFiber and Shadeform, a leading multi-cloud GPU marketplace, to deliver on-demand access to NVIDIA B200 GPUs. Bit Digital received its first shipment of B200s during the quarter, comprising 64 servers (512 GPUs), and began phased deployment in April. Through the Shadeform integration, WhiteFiber’s GPU cloud became globally accessible across more than 100 regions, enabling developers and enterprises to access high-performance AI infrastructure without long-term commitmentsIn March 2025, the Company executed two new service orders under its existing agreement with Boosteroid, a global cloud gaming provider. The orders total 701 GPU servers under five-year terms, with deployments scheduled to commence in May and June 2025. These new contracts represent approximately $2.1 million in annualized contract value, bringing total contract value from Boosteroid to approximately $3.6 million annually and over $18 million in total contract value.

Subsequent Events

In April 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a data center property in Madison, North Carolina. Closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of an energy study verifying utility capacity. An earnest money deposit of $2.25 million was deposited in escrow pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, of which $1.25 million is non-refundable to us.In April 2025, the Company signed two additional cloud services agreements with DNA Fund. The first agreement, commencing in early May 2025, includes 104 NVIDIA H200 GPUs under a 25-month term. The second, expected to commence in May 2025, includes 512 H200 GPUs under a 23-month term. With these additions, DNA Fund’s total contracted deployment increased to 1,192 GPUs. Combined, the agreements represent approximately $20.9 million of annualized revenue.

Management Commentary

“Our first quarter results were affected by mark-to-market losses on digital assets and lower bitcoin mining revenue, both of which reflect industry-wide headwinds and the strategic rebalancing of our business. We continued to make meaningful progress in scaling our infrastructure platform and diversifying our revenue streams.

Cloud services revenue increased 84% compared to the year-ago period and accounted for the majority of total revenue. Demand was driven by both long-term enterprise contracts and short-term workloads from AI-native developers. Our strategic investments in next-generation hardware and distribution partnerships, including B200 deployments and our integration with Shadeform, helped expand platform reach and customer access.

Colocation services contributed a full quarter of revenue following our acquisition of Enovum in late 2024. We expect this business line to become a major growth engine as we expand our development pipeline to meet growing customer demand.

Bitcoin mining accounted for 31% of total revenue in the quarter, down from 40% in Q4 and 72% a year ago. The decline reflects both the halving event and the ongoing redeployment of miners from Coinmint facilities, which we used as an opportunity to retire less efficient assets and reposition our fleet. While mining remains a component of our platform, we expect its contribution to continue declining over time as our infrastructure businesses grow.

Gross margins improved both sequentially and year-over-year, driven by stronger contribution from Cloud and Colocation segments and ongoing cost discipline. We ended the quarter with approximately $140 million in total liquidity and no debt, giving us the flexibility to invest in high-return initiatives.

We advanced our platform on several fronts, deploying NVIDIA B200 GPUs, expanding key customer relationships, and progressing our datacenter expansion strategy. These milestones support our roadmap and reflect our growing relevance in the AI infrastructure landscape. As we scale our platform, we remain focused on disciplined execution and long-term value creation.”

Northern Hemisphere Heat Drives Demand for Cooling and Sun-Protection Products on Yiwugo

Published

36 minutes ago

July 24, 2026

YIWU, China, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Yiwugo.com, the official website of the Yiwu Commodity Market, is the largest commodity wholesale market in the world. The final whistle may have blown on the World Cup, but the intense heat gripping the Northern Hemisphere shows no sign of letting up. Europe has experienced unusually hot weather this year, sparking not only a surge in demand for air conditioners but also a boom in portable handheld fans. Merchants on Yiwugo say that in previous years, European customers would begin placing orders in March or April and take their time completing their annual procurement. This year, however, the purchasing season has stretched well into summer, with a flood of new buyers coming in, most of them looking for small handheld fans. With customers eager to capitalize on the peak summer season, delivery timelines have also become significantly tighter. Whereas orders in previous years could generally be fulfilled within a month, merchants are now frequently being asked to deliver within about a week, leaving manufacturers scrambling to keep pace with demand.

Lingpan Official Flagship Store has specialized in the production and sales of small fans, insulated cups, and related products for 15 years. This summer, demand from European customers for high-speed small fans has risen sharply, accompanied by urgent delivery requirements. Many customers began requesting shipment just one week after placing their orders, hoping the products would arrive in time for the World Cup and the ongoing heatwave across Europe. One long-standing European customer purchased only five models of small fans from Lingpan last year. Anticipating stronger demand ahead of this summer, the customer expanded the order to 10 models. The first shipment sold out soon after arriving at port, prompting several subsequent repeat orders. European buyers have shown particular interest in high-speed cooling fans and placed great requirements on product quality. So far this year, Lingpan’s fan sales have more than doubled compared with the same period last year, with total purchases reaching approximately RMB 1 million.

Beyond Europe, the owner of Lingpan, Ling Pan pointed out that the Indian market has also undergone significant changes over the past two years. Indian customers are showing great interest in panda-shaped fans, drinking cups, and related products. Procurement volumes among many Indian buyers have increased substantially, with average annual purchases now reaching several hundred thousand yuan.

Unlike European countries grappling with sudden heat waves, Asian markets such as Japan and South Korea, where summers are consistently hot and air conditioners and fans are already everyday essentials, have shown much stronger demand for sun-protection products. From April 1, 2026 to date, sales of sun-protection masks on Yiwugo have increased by 31.6% YoY, while sales of sun-protection face shields surged by 72.42% and sun hats rose by 8.1%.

Chen Jia, a Yiwugo merchant, has engaged in the production and sales of sun-protection masks and sun-protection face shields for eight years. Chen operates the Xiao Zhen and Xiao Mian Sun-Protection Products Workshop in District 4 of the Yiwu International Trade Market. In recent years, the company has customized cooling nylon fabrics for customers in Japan and South Korea. Sun-protection masks and sun-protection face shields made from this material not only offer UPF 50+ protection, but also maintain a more structured shape and are less susceptible to snagging or deformation. Their protective performance remains effective after routine washing, and the products can last for more than five years under normal use.

In 2024, a TV shopping operator from South Korea contacted Xiao Zheng and Xiao Mian through Yiwugo and began placing orders after inspecting the products in person. Over the following two years, the company continued to improve the fitness and design of its sun-protection products. It introduced sun-protection face shields with breathable mesh panels and incorporated soft supports around the nose area to prevent the masks from rubbing against lipstick. These product upgrades have steadily driven up customer ratings on the client’s store. Annual procurement, initially valued at around RMB 300,000, has risen year by year, and the company has since developed into a recognized brand in the local market.

Persistent heat across the Northern Hemisphere has been creating new forms of cross-border consumer demand while enabling Yiwugo merchants to keenly capture shifts in overseas markets. From the strong sales of small portable fans in Europe to the rising demand for functional sun-protection products in Japan and South Korea, the diversity of orders reflects both consumers’ need for relief from extreme heat and the ability of Yiwu manufacturers to strengthen their presence in global markets through product innovation and rapid fulfillment. Faced with a rapidly changing international market, many merchants are continuing to refine product designs, upgrade fabric techniques, and enhance supply efficiency. By leveraging Yiwugo to broaden their export channels, they are keeping pace with overseas consumption trends and capitalizing on the expanding market for cooling and sun-protection products, turning the summer heat into new momentum for cross-border trade.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Snorkel AI today highlighted the first group of projects supported through Open Benchmarks Grants, a $3 million commitment to support open-source datasets, benchmarks, and evaluation research.

Launched in February 2026, Open Benchmarks Grants has received hundreds of applications from researchers, labs, and engineers working to address a growing challenge: AI systems are advancing faster than the field’s ability to rigorously measure their performance on realistic, consequential work.

“From complex environments and huge autonomy horizons to rich, sophisticated outputs, these projects tackle some of the field’s hardest evaluation challenges,” said Fred Sala, a member of the Open Benchmarks Grants steering committee and assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. “I’m excited to see the broader research community use, validate, and build on them.”

Open Benchmarks Grants provides selected teams with funding, expert data development support, research and engineering collaboration, and platform resources. Supported projects include:

Frontier-Bench (formerly Terminal-Bench 3.0), developed with Laude Institute and the Harbor community, is a harder, more domain-diverse successor to Terminal-Bench 2.1 — built in the open, task by task, under continuous adversarial review.Agents’ Last Exam, developed with UC Berkeley RDI and the RDI Foundation, evaluates agents on long-horizon, economically valuable professional workflows. It spans 55 sub-industries and includes more than 1,500 tasks toward a 5,000-task target, sourced and validated by more than 300 industry experts.OSWorld 2.0, developed with XLANG Lab, evaluates computer-use agents on 108 long-horizon workflows across 31 self-hosted web environments and professional desktop applications.Continual Learning Bench, developed with UC Berkeley SkyLab and the University of Wisconsin–Madison, measures whether agents genuinely improve across sequential, stateful tasks.SlopCode Bench, developed with the University of Wisconsin–Madison, measures how code quality degrades as coding agents repeatedly modify and extend their own solutions.Terminal-Bench 2.1, developed with Stanford University, Laude Institute and the Harbor community, evaluates agents on challenging work in terminal environments. The release corrected 28 tasks and introduced continuous validation.

With support from Open Benchmarks Grants, Terminal-Bench Science is also now in development, extending the Terminal-Bench framework to computational research workflows across the life, physical, earth, and mathematical sciences.

Beyond the grants program, Snorkel led the development of Senior SWE-Bench with the research teams at Princeton University and the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The benchmark evaluates coding agents on senior-level engineering work, including implementing features from realistic instructions, investigating bugs that require runtime analysis, and producing code that follows existing codebase conventions.

Open Benchmarks Grants was established with support from Hugging Face, Prime Intellect, Together AI, Factory, Harbor, and PyTorch. Applications remain open and are reviewed on a rolling basis.

Payzli Vaults to No. 3 on Tampa Bay’s Fast 50, Up From No. 22 in One Year

Published

36 minutes ago

July 24, 2026

Payments technology company, Payzli earns a second consecutive Fast 50 ranking, crediting the climb to accelerating partner and merchant growth on its proprietary technology stack.

TAMPA, Fla., July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Payzli, the partner-first payments technology company, has been named the No. 3 fastest-growing company in the region on the Tampa Bay Business Journal’s 2026 Fast 50 – a 19-spot climb from its No. 22 debut last year, and the company’s second consecutive year on the list.

The ranking was announced July 23 at the Tampa Bay Business Journal’s Fast 50 event in Tampa, where Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer Naim Hamdar accepted the award alongside members of the Payzli team.

Payzli attributed its growth to a compounding effect: a national network of ISOs, agents and ISVs bringing merchants onto a technology platform Payzli built and operated in-house.

That platform rests on three proprietary pillars:

Payzli Connect: the company’s payment CRM and merchant-and-partner dashboard, giving agents and ISOs daily residuals visibility and giving merchants a single place to run their account.Payzli POS: AI-powered point-of-sale and business software purpose-built for service businesses, including salons, med spas, wellness studios, and independent operators.Payzli Transact: an online payment gateway built on Visa Platform Connect through Payzli’s partnership with Visa Acceptance Solutions.

The Visa Acceptance Solutions partnership is central to how Payzli frames its credibility: rather than assembling a growth story on top of borrowed infrastructure, the company processes on rails backed by one of the most established networks in the industry alongside Fiserv and TSYS – a point that matters to the partners and merchants deciding where to place their volume.

“A second year on this list, and a jump to No. 3, isn’t about one good quarter. It’s about a network deciding to build with us and stay,” said Naim Hamdar, Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Payzli. “Every rank on this list represents partners we’ve earned and merchants who trust us to run their payments. We built the technology in-house so we could keep the promises the industry usually breaks: nothing hidden, a real person in reach, and daily residual visibility our agents can actually count on. That’s what this ranking measures and it’s why we’re doing it all, for the joy of business.”

“They say nothing in Tampa moves fast except the afternoon thunderstorms, so making the Fast 50 two years running feels pretty good,” said Kapil Pershad, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Payzli. “In all seriousness, this is a credit to our team and the businesses that trust us to power their growth.”

The Fast 50, produced by the Tampa Bay Business Journal, recognizes the fastest-growing private companies in the Tampa Bay region. Payzli’s return to the list and its move into the top three reflects a merchant-first product suite and a rapidly expanding national partner network across the payments and embedded-finance landscape.

About Payzli

Payzli is an end-to-end payments technology partner that makes accepting payments simpler and affordable for businesses of all sizes and risk levels. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida, Payzli brings together in-person processing, an advanced online gateway, AI-powered point of sale, and mobile and contactless payments – backed by its own technology, honest pricing, and dedicated human support. Built partner-first, Payzli equips ISOs, agents, developers, and independent software vendors to grow, with direct integrations to major processing platforms, in-house underwriting, a flexible credit policy, a Visa Acceptance Solutions foundation partnership, and sponsor-bank backing from Esquire Bank, a NASDAQ-listed strategic investor in Payzli.
