AKRON, Ohio, Feb. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — BIT Mining Limited (NYSE: BTCM) (“BIT Mining,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our company”), a leading technology-driven cryptocurrency mining company, today reported its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023.
On December 28, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Esport – Win Limited, a Hong Kong limited liability company, to sell its entire mining pool business for a total consideration of US$5 million. The sale does not include or affect any of BIT Mining’s other businesses. The disposal of the mining pool business represents a strategic shift and has a major effect on the Company’s results of operations. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2023 and the comparable periods have been reclassified to reflect the mining pool business segment as discontinued operations.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results for Continuing Operations
Revenues
Revenues were mainly comprised of US$4.7 million from the self-mining business and US$5.7 million from the data center business.
Self-mining
As of today, the total hash rate capacity of our DOGE/LTC mining machines in operation is approximately 24,766.0 GH/s. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, we produced 38.3 million DOGE and 10,615 LTC from our DOGE/LTC cryptocurrency mining operations and recognized revenue of approximately US$3.6 million.
Considerable uncertainty persists in the market despite the recent modest recovery and narrow growth in cryptocurrency asset prices. Facing this current environment, we remain determined to improve our quality and efficiency. As of today, the total hash rate capacity of our BTC mining machines in operation is approximately 56.63 PH/s. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, we produced 21 BTC from our BTC cryptocurrency mining operations and recognized revenue of approximately US$0.8 million. We also recognized revenue of approximately US$0.3 million from our ETC cryptocurrency mining operations.
Data Center Operation
During the fourth quarter of 2023, our 82.5 megawatt space (the “82.5 Megawatt Space”) at the Ohio Mining Site recognized approximately $5.7 million in service fee revenue, representing a decrease of US$0.7 million compared with the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to one of our customers entered into arrangement directly with the utility service provider. As a result, our service fee revenue from the customer decreased during the fourth quarter of 2023.
Overall
Revenues were US$10.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, representing an increase of US$3.2 million, or 44.4%, from US$7.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and a decrease of US$1.2 million, or 10.3%, from US$11.6 million for the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to an increase of US$3.6 million in the DOGE/LTC cryptocurrency production, due to an increase in hash power related to new mining machines that were put into operation in 2023. The sequential decrease was mainly attributable to higher computing power of the whole network in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with the computing power in the third quarter of 2023, resulting in an increased difficulty in cryptocurrency mining activities.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Operating costs and expenses were US$13.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of US$9.7 million, or 42.4%, from US$22.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and a decrease of US$1.8 million, or 12.0%, from US$15.0 million for the third quarter of 2023.
Cost of revenue was US$8.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of US$7.5 million, or 45.7%, from US$16.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and a decrease of US$1.9 million, or 17.6%, from US$10.8 million for the third quarter of 2023. The sequential decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in electricity fees payable to the utility service provider as one of our customers entered into arrangement directly with the utility service provider. The year-over-year decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in electricity fees payable mentioned above, and the overall year-over-year decrease in electricity rates charged by the utility service provider. Cost of revenue was comprised of the direct cost of revenue of US$6.0 million and depreciation and amortization of US$2.9 million. The direct cost of revenue mainly included direct costs relating to (i) the cryptocurrency mining business of US$1.3 million, and (ii) the data center business of US$4.7 million.
Sales and marketing expenses were US$0.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with US$0.03 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and US$0.03 million for the third quarter of 2023.
General and administrative expenses were US$4.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of US$1.9 million, or 31.7%, from US$6.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and a slight decrease of US$0.1 million, or 2.4%, from US$4.2 million for the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to a decrease of US$1.0 million in technical service fee.
Service development expenses were nil for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with US$0.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and US$0.04 million for the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to a decrease in staff costs, benefits, share-based compensation and other related expenses as a result of a decrease in headcount.
Net Gain on Disposal of Cryptocurrency Assets
Net gain on disposal of cryptocurrency assets was US$1.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of US$2.2 million from US$3.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and an increase of US$0.6 million from US$0.9 million for the third quarter of 2023, by using the first-in-first-out (“FIFO”) method to calculate the cost of disposition during the fourth quarter of 2023.
Impairment of Cryptocurrency Assets
Impairment of cryptocurrency assets was US$0.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of US$1.9 million from US$2.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and a decrease of US$0.5 million from US$0.7 million for the third quarter of 2023, mainly due to less provision recorded for impairment of cryptocurrency assets held as a result of generally increasing cryptocurrency prices.
Impairment of Property and Equipment
Impairment of property and equipment was nil for the third and fourth quarters of 2023 and was US$22.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, which was mainly due to the provision for impairment of mining machines in Kazakhstan and the U.S.
Operating Loss from continuing operations
Operating loss from continuing operations was US$1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with operating loss from continuing operations of US$38.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and operating loss from continuing operations of US$4.1 million for the third quarter of 2023.
Non-GAAP operating loss from continuing operations was US$1.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with non-GAAP operating loss from continuing operations of US$15.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and non-GAAP operating loss from continuing operations of US$4.1 million for the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year decrease in non-GAAP operating loss from continuing operations was mainly due to (i) an increase of US$2.8 million in revenue of the self-mining business, due to increases in cryptocurrency prices and mining machine, (ii) a decrease of US$1.9 million in impairment of cryptocurrency assets, (iii) a decrease of US$4.4 million in depreciation and amortization expenses due to impairment of mining machines and intangible asset in 2022, and (iv) a decrease of US$1.2 million in cloud computing power rental costs. The sequential decrease in non-GAAP operating loss from continuing operations was mainly due to (i) a decrease of US$0.5 million in impairment of cryptocurrency assets and an increase of US$0.6 million in net gain on disposal of cryptocurrency assets resulting from increases in cryptocurrency prices, and (ii) a decrease of US$0.8 million in other operating expenses.
Net Loss Attributable to BIT Mining including from continuing operations and discontinued operations
Net loss attributable to BIT Mining was US$4.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with net loss attributable to BIT Mining of US$109.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and net loss attributable to BIT Mining of US$4.4 million for the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year decrease in net loss attributable to BIT Mining was mainly due to (i) a decrease of US$22.6 million in impairment of property and equipment, (ii) decrease in net loss from discontinued operations resulting from a decrease of US$48.6 million in impairment of intangible assets and a decrease of US$26.6 million in impairment of goodwill, and (iii) a decrease of US$2.3 million in impairment of long-term investments.
Non-GAAP net loss attributable to BIT Mining was US$4.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with non-GAAP net loss attributable to BIT Mining of US$9.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and non-GAAP net loss attributable to BIT Mining of US$3.6 million for the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year decrease in non-GAAP net loss attributable to BIT Mining was mainly due to the reasons related to the decrease in net loss from discontinued operations mentioned above. The sequential increase in non-GAAP net loss attributable to BIT Mining was mainly due to the increase in net loss from discontinued operations of US$3.8 million.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
As a supplement to net loss, we use the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted net loss which is U.S. GAAP net loss as adjusted to exclude the impact of share-based compensation expenses, impairment of intangible assets, impairment of equity investments, impairment of property and equipment, changes in fair value of contingent considerations, and changes in fair value of derivative instruments. All adjustments are non-cash and we believe they are not reflective of our general business performance. This non-GAAP financial measure is provided as additional information to help our investors compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our current financial performance and prospects for the future. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in addition to or as a substitute for or superior to U.S. GAAP net loss. In addition, our definition of adjusted net loss may be different from the definition of such term used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.

Changhong at IFA 2026: From Going Global to Going Local
Published
14 minutes agoon
September 10, 2026By
BERLIN, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At IFA 2026, Changhong unveiled a new lineup of AI-powered home appliances spanning TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners and laundry appliances. Centered on real-life scenarios, the company is bringing AI technologies designed to better understand everyday needs into the product experience, highlighting its transition from technological innovation toward more intuitive living experiences. The showcase also signals Changhong’s continued localization efforts.
The concept comes to life across Changhong’s latest AI products. The Q60S Pro TV features the Changhong LeDong AI sports platform, extending the TV beyond a traditional content screen into a space for family fitness and interaction. An AI human-sensing air conditioner can recognize users’ locations and habits and adjust airflow accordingly, while an AI refrigerator uses intelligent sensing to help users take a more proactive approach to food freshness. Rather than adding complexity, Changhong is making everyday life simpler.
This is at the heart of Changhong’s exploration of “seamless technology”—technology that works quietly in the background. The best technology does not always need to be seen; it simply helps people worry less.
A distinctive cultural element is also finding its way into Changhong’s smart product experience. The brand has incorporated the giant panda into AI assistant interactions, bringing greater warmth and approachability to AI-powered TVs and other home appliances. Closely associated with Changhong’s Sichuan heritage, the panda also provides a natural way to bring a recognizable element of Chinese culture into the technology experience.
Skiing offers another bridge to European lifestyles. In recent years, Changhong has continued to strengthen its presence in Europe with CHiQ as an important brand vehicle, building closer connections with local consumers through sports partnerships, including sponsorship of FIS Ski World Cup events in Germany, collaboration with the German Ski Association and its role as an official partner of the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup. More than a sporting platform, skiing allows CHiQ to connect the speed, passion and outdoor spirit of the sport with its product experience, bringing technology closer to the way European consumers live.
Behind these initiatives is a deeper commitment to localization. From product experience and brand expression to sports, culture and local lifestyles, Changhong is creating more diverse touchpoints with the European market. From “going global” to “going local,” the company is moving beyond products and channels toward a deeper integration of its brands, technology and the markets it serves.

Clean hydrogen investment reaches USD 130 billion as energy security and resilience rise up the global agenda
Published
14 minutes agoon
September 10, 2026By
BRUSSELS, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Clean hydrogen is no longer a future bet – it is being built now. According to the Hydrogen Council’s Global Hydrogen Compass 2026, released today, committed investment has surpassed USD 130 billion, corresponding to 6.9 Mtpa of committed capacity across more than 570 projects worldwide, 90% of which are under construction or already operational.
The new report, co-authored with McKinsey & Company and informed by the perspectives of some 70 global CEOs, highlights continued industry progress alongside a changing strategic context. Over the past year, global operational capacity has nearly doubled and is expected to double again next year as projects under construction come online.
At the same time, shifting geopolitical priorities are strengthening hydrogen’s role as a strategic resilience lever. As governments seek to strengthen energy security, build more resilient economies and support long-term industrial growth, hydrogen is receiving renewed attention for its ability to help address multiple strategic priorities alongside deep decarbonization, complementing growing electrification and use of renewable energy sources.
Geographically, China remains the largest market, accounting for more than half of global committed renewable hydrogen capacity, as well as 90% of new operational capacity globally added since 2025. Europe now follows as the second-largest market, leading in project count and relative investment growth (+35% since 2025). The United States continues to lead in low-carbon hydrogen deployment, accounting for approximately 75% of global committed low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia capacity.
The experience of these leading markets also points to the industry’s next challenge: projects move forward where policy and infrastructure are the most robust. Of the 11 Mpta of potential 2030 clean hydrogen demand that existing policies could unlock by 2030, around 6 Mtpa is firmed today by policies that have been enacted and enforced. Unlocking the remaining 5 Mpta now requires urgent action from governments to deliver on existing policy commitments.
For policymakers, the top priority is to implement enabling incentives and mandates, as well as robust carbon pricing instruments providing demand signals. For industry, the focus is to serve that demand cost effectively, which requires strong push to reduce cost and build the necessary infrastructure.
Combining comprehensive industry data with CEO perspectives and lessons learned from some of the world’s most significant clean hydrogen projects, Global Hydrogen Compass 2026 provides a fact-based assessment of the industry’s progress and the practical actions needed to accelerate deployment. The report was launched today for the first time through a dedicated global virtual event, featuring the Hydrogen Council Co-Chairs alongside CEOs from Baker Hughes, CF Industries, Port of Rotterdam and Sinopec, with its findings also presented at today’s Hydrogen Energy Ministerial in Japan.
Jaehoon Chang, Vice-Chair of Hyundai Motor Group and Co-Chair of the Hydrogen Council, said: “The debate has shifted from whether hydrogen can deliver to how fast countries choose to build. While the pace varies by market, the principle is the same: identify where hydrogen creates the most value, build the ecosystem around it and prove it works. This year’s Compass highlights a clear lesson: wherever countries deploy hydrogen solutions suited to their context and support them with policy, competitive hydrogen ecosystems are taking hold. By learning from those examples, we can build on that momentum faster and with greater confidence.”
François Jackow, CEO of Air Liquide and Co-Chair of the Hydrogen Council, said: “Hydrogen is not only a decarbonization solution; it is also the indispensable partner to renewable electricity. Through their synergies, hydrogen strengthens the resilience and improves the efficiency and affordability of the overall energy system. As countries accelerate electrification, recognizing hydrogen’s systemic role will be essential to building secure, competitive and affordable energy systems for the future.”
Ivana Jemelkova, CEO of the Hydrogen Council, said: “Decision-makers need both robust market data and practical experience from those delivering projects on the ground. Global Hydrogen Compass 2026 complements the IEA’s Global Hydrogen Review by bringing together the collective perspective of industry leaders. Together, they provide a more complete picture of where the industry stands today and the practical actions needed to accelerate deployment.”

NatGold Digital Activates European Marketing Campaign for NATG

bull markets media GmbH engaged by 78X to lead first major activation under expanded global marketing program
CORAL GABLES, Fla., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NatGold Digital Ltd. (“NatGold Digital” or the “Company”), a pioneering digital gold mining company with a patent-pending process for sustainably unlocking the intrinsic value of in-ground gold resources through its digital mining and blockchain-based tokenization platform, today announced the launch of its European marketing campaign for the NatGold Token (NATG).
The initiative represents the first major regional activation of NatGold Digital’s expanding global marketing strategy, moving from the establishment of international trading access and multilingual marketing infrastructure to direct market engagement across Europe.
78X Marketing Group, which is leading NatGold Digital’s global marketing efforts, has engaged Germany-based bull markets media GmbH to spearhead the Company’s European educational and market-awareness campaign. Bull markets brings an established financial-media ecosystem, digital marketing capabilities, investor communities and specialized experience across both commodity and cryptocurrency markets to the European program.
Through financial-market education and content, digital audience development and targeted market engagement, the program will introduce European audiences to NatGold’s sustainable digital mining model — designed to unlock the intrinsic value of technically verified in-ground gold resources through tokenization without physically extracting, processing or moving the gold. This non-extractive approach allows the gold to remain securely stored in Mother Nature’s Vault while providing a new digital pathway for realizing its intrinsic value.
“Gold and Bitcoin have demonstrated the enormous global demand for assets that offer an alternative to traditional fiat money,” said Matthias Abresch, Managing Director of bull markets media GmbH. “NatGold introduces something genuinely new to that category: the geological scarcity and monetary heritage of gold combined with the accessibility of a digital asset, while avoiding the environmental disruption associated with physically mining the gold. We believe this combination of sound-money principles, sustainability and digital innovation will resonate strongly with European investors, and we are excited to introduce the NatGold story across the region.”
The European initiative is being structured to operate in accordance with applicable European regulatory requirements, including MiCA requirements governing crypto-asset marketing communications.
NatGold Digital’s newly launched multilingual Web3 platform and professionally localized educational video library will support the campaign, with resources available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.
“Europe brings together many of the characteristics that make the NatGold proposition particularly relevant — a deep understanding of gold as a monetary asset, strong expectations around sustainability and an increasingly sophisticated digital-asset marketplace,” said Andrés Fernández, Chief Executive Officer of NatGold Digital. “With the regional expertise and market reach now in place to engage European audiences directly, this campaign represents an important next step in building international awareness and understanding of NatGold and NATG.”
NatGold Digital intends to progressively expand its marketing activities into additional international markets and languages while continuing to broaden global trading access to NATG.
About NatGold Digital Ltd.
NatGold Digital Ltd. is the global leader in digital gold mining and the architect and operator of a patent-pending, non-extractive platform designed to unlock the intrinsic value of technically verified in-ground gold resources that remain securely stored in Mother Nature’s Vault. NatGold Tokens are structured to represent standardized unit interests in NatGold Certified Resources, disclosed under internationally recognized geological Technical Reports — without physical extraction, processing, or movement of gold. The result is a superior fiat money alternative designed to help lead a global monetary reformation.

As a digital asset, NATG tokens are also subject to inherent risks related to blockchain technology, including but not limited to, regulatory uncertainty, market adoption, manipulation, volatility, and cyber security risks. Access to NATG trading will be available only to eligible participants in supported jurisdictions, with each participant subject to applicable jurisdictional eligibility, onboarding, regulatory, geographic, and platform requirements. Prospective purchasers should conduct their own due diligence and should consult with their respective financial, legal, tax, and/or other professional advisors.
