Ethereum

Bitcoin

Bit Digital, a prominent U.S.-listed cryptocurrency mining company, has recently made a significant strategic shift in its asset holdings. In June, the company drastically reduced its bitcoin reserves while increasing its ethereum holdings, signaling a notable change in its investment strategy, according to <a href="https://ultramining.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ultramining</a>.
During the second quarter of 2024, Bit Digital mined 244 BTC, a sharp decline of 40% from the 410 BTC mined in the first quarter. This reduction in bitcoin production coincides with the company’s broader move to diversify its revenue streams and enhance profitability through AI servicing contracts. In Q2, Bit Digital earned an impressive $12.4 million from AI high-performance computing services, including $4.1 million in June alone.
However, the most striking development is Bit Digital's shift in cryptocurrency holdings. By the end of June, the company’s bitcoin reserves had decreased from 1,038 BTC to 585.9 BTC. Conversely, its ethereum holdings saw a substantial increase from 20,583 ETH to 29,927 ETH. This strategic move appears to reflect a growing confidence in Ethereum’s potential and possibly a hedge against bitcoin’s recent volatility.
The shift to Ethereum could be driven by several factors, including the network’s ongoing upgrades and the broader adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, which predominantly operate on the Ethereum blockchain.&nbsp;
