| Statement |

| We have a great team in place and we are very proud of the foundation that we built in 2023 |
| And so that's why we have done this tripartite approach of ETH staking and a very solid AI vertical and increase our Bitcoin mine fleet, doubling it to the size of the end of the year |
| We have a great team in place and I'm proud of the foundation we built in 2023 |
| So it's been very promising and that is simply outside the anchor client that we have |
| So, it'd be good to, and keep the relationship and to, for our future growth |
| That's a great improvement |
| The improvement was primarily driven by better cash margins and reduced digital assets impairment charges |
| Obviously, Bitcoin prices are much higher, but even with that increase, I mean, it's from a footprint perspective, we're able to generate a lot more revenue on the AI side |
| We believe, we continue to believe, a strong balance sheet and liquidity position is one of the most important features to withstand halving events |
| We also see the potential SEC approval of a spot ETH ETF as a major medium term catalyst for the price of ETH |
| These are complementary business lines that we believe strengthen our financial profile and will provide an incredible optionality in terms of capital allocation |
| We are of course very pleased with the improvement in digital asset prices |
| But we fundamentally believe that ETH's strong monetary policy and strong ecosystem provides a compelling path forward, regardless of the SEC's decision |
| We are targeting a minimum of $100 million in annualized run rate revenue from this business by year-end, and we are confident in reaching that goal |
| And that's why we're pretty confident that, we'll get to a $100 million run rate by the end of the year |
| Gross margins are substantially higher than, as I mentioned, than our core mining business, even at current prices |
| Our balance sheet remains a core strength with approximately $140 million worth of cash and digital assets at the end of February and zero debt |
| We've differentiated ourselves like that |
| The improvement in bitcoin price changed the narrative from resilience to growth and ambitious growth announcements were generally rewarded by the market |
| We are actively engaged in discussions with several hosting partners for new sites, and we have a strong pipeline of new potential locations |
| I think what I have to, I don't really have much more final remarks except as mentioned we built a solid business that, is an all-weather business |
| And the reason we're thinking, about taking on debt on that business, to - further improve the profit margins, and which the model allows |
| We are trying to build a company that is less driven by speculation and more driven by strong underlying fundamentals |
| It seemed as if up until the third quarter, the industry's overarching focus was on improving resilience ahead of the halving |
| The historical trend for bitcoin prices has been higher and we're in the camp of course, that bitcoin will continue to achieve new all-time highs as time progresses |
| While we can't offer guidance on the specifics of the margin profile, we will state that even at current bitcoin prices, our Bit Digital AI business earns substantially higher margins than our mining business, even on a pre- halving basis |
| It was a rebound year for our industry and a foundational year for Bit Digital |
| Our GPU business fits seamlessly within these strengths, allowing us to go from signing a customer contract to installing and deploying an incredibly complex network of more than 2000 GPUs in a matter of months |
| The total revenue for 2023 was $44.9 million, a 39% increase compared to the prior year |
| The revenue increase was primarily driven by increase of deployed mining fleet and a modestly higher average bitcoin price |

| And again, we're cautious about dilution |
| Adjusted earnings per share was approximately $0.12 compared to a loss of $0.34 in 2022 |
| GAAP earnings per share for 2023 was a loss of $0.16 compared to a loss of $1.34 in 2022 |
| That said, we think improved bitcoin prices are masking the fragility of certain business models |
| Adjusted EBITDA was $2.4 million in 2023 compared to a loss of $26.9 million in 2022 |
| We think current bitcoin prices are causing investors to overlook the importance of having non-correlated revenue streams that could produce enough cash flow to cover fixed expenses |
| In fact, Ethereum's deflationary at this point |
| So, if you can't predict cash flows, because you don't know where the Bitcoin price is going to be, taking on leverage to buy Bitcoin mining equipment is stupid, frankly |
| But historically you do see a pretty meaningful portion, of the network hash rate drop off, following the halving events |
| And obviously there's a lot of growth in the non-public realm that, is harder to track |
| As many of you probably noticed, that sentiment changed dramatically in October as bitcoin charged past 30,000 and then above 40,000 by year-end as optimism around a bitcoin ETF reached fever pitch |
| So it's quite possible that the Bitcoin halving event, that has not been the catalyst, for the spike in the price of Bitcoin going up |
| I mean, procuring miners really hasn't been an issue for us |
| We understand that we are unlikely to receive full credit for this business until we start reporting the financials |
| So, it might not be, as dramatic of a decrease post halving this go around, but we would still expect some meaningful number to fall off, post halving and commensurately reduce difficulty |
| And over the past few months, over the past few months, we've kind of noticed the increase in network difficulty |
| Sam Tabar And Alex, I think you would expect the demand side post having, to subside to some degree |
| One of the reasons why Bitcoin has gone up, a lot now and this is just my opinion, is that the Bitcoin ETFs have caused massive inflows into Bitcoin |
| We never forgot |
| And we're cautious of dilution and owning [indiscernible] equity when we have identified opportunity to deploy capital in higher return areas, such as our digital AI business |
