Bit Digital's Q1 2025: Unraveling Contradictions in Expansion Plans and GPU Procurement Strategies

Expansion strategy in North America, GPU procurement strategy, data center expansion and acquisition strategy, and data center expansion strategy are the key contradictions discussed in Bit Digital's latest 2025Q1 earnings call.



Revenue and Segment Performance:
- Bit Digital's total revenue for the quarter was $25.1 million, showing a 17% decrease compared to the same quarter last year.
- The Mining segment revenue decreased 64% year-over-year and 26% sequentially, contributing to an overall revenue decline.
- Conversely, the Cloud Services segment revenue increased 84% year-over-year and 14% sequentially to $14.8 million.

Cloud Services Growth:
- Cloud Services revenue increased 84% year-over-year and 14% sequentially to $14.8 million.
- The growth was driven by new cloud contracts, including a $10 million annualized revenue deployment for a DNA fund, and a $10.8 million expansion with the same customer.

Data Center Development:
