Bit Digital Inc. Ordinary Shares (BTBT) fair value

ACCE thesis

Bit Digital runs bitcoin mining operations and a growing Ethereum staking business, with its mining fleet and staked ETH forming the core of the revenue base. The structural angle is the pairing: mining gives it exposure to hashrate economics, while the staking arm brings in a yield-bearing, non-mining income stream that most pure-play miners lack. Revenue grew 25.6%, but the operating margin of -245% says the top line is not yet converting to profit, and the 57.1% gross margin suggests the drag sits in fixed costs, depreciation and impairment rather than in the unit economics of the machines themselves. At 7.8x forward earnings the market is pricing in a recovery, so the question for us is whether the staking and mining cash flows can close that gap before the balance sheet and crypto cycle force the issue. This is a name worth a deeper look only if we can get comfortable with the margin path and the company's funding needs, since the -52.2% return on equity leaves little room for error.
