Investor Notice

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and forward-looking statements described under “Risk Factors” in Item 3.D of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (“Annual Report”). Notwithstanding the fact that Bit Digital Inc. has not conducted operations in the PRC since September 30, 2021 we have previously disclosed under Risk Factors in our Annual Report: “We may be subject to fines and penalties for any noncompliance with or any liabilities in our former business in China in a certain period from now on.” Although the statute of limitations for non-compliance by our former business in the PRC is generally two years and the Company has been out of the PRC, for more than two years, the Authority may still find its prior bitcoin mining operations involved a threat to financial security. In such event, the two-year period would be extended to five years. If any material risk was to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the value of our securities could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment. The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. In addition, our past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results in the future. Future changes in the network-wide mining difficulty rate or bitcoin hash rate may also materially affect the future performance of Bit Digital’s production of bitcoin. Actual operating results will vary depending on many factors including network difficulty rate, total hash rate of the network, the operations of our facilities, the status of our miners, and other factors. See “Safe Harbor Statement” below.

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release may contain certain “forward-looking statements” relating to the business of Bit Digital, Inc., and its subsidiary companies. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included herein are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements are often identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” or similar expressions, involving known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they do involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties, and these expectations may prove to be incorrect. Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, including those discussed in the Company’s periodic reports that are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on its website at http://www.sec.gov. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these factors. Other than as required under the securities laws, the Company does not assume a duty to update these forward-looking statements.

626 bitcoin mined and 40 EH/s surpassed in operating hashrate

More than 8% fleet efficiency improvement month over month

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CleanSpark, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK), America’s Bitcoin Miner® (the “Company”), today released its unaudited bitcoin mining and operations update for the month ending January 31, 2025.

“CleanSpark powered through January, continuing to improve efficiency and reach new milestones despite historic weather events across several of our regions. We crossed the 40 EH/s milestone, achieved more than 10,500 bitcoin held in treasury, and celebrated the five-year anniversary of our uplisting on Nasdaq by ringing the bell last week,” said Zach Bradford, CEO and President of CleanSpark. “Now, the entire team is focused on executing our path to 50 EH/s and building on our top three position across operating hashrate, marginal cost per coin, fleet efficiency, bitcoin held, and total uptime. This month we saw our interruptible power contracts in action as we curtailed portions of the portfolio during extreme cold weather events. We demonstrated our ability to support our utility and community partners, specifically during the coldest five days, and the benefit to our broad regional portfolio strategy by mitigating downtime in the Southeast with limited interruption across our other regions. Despite the weather, construction in Tennessee, Georgia, and Wyoming continues as we march toward our midyear goal.”

January Bitcoin Mining Update (unaudited)

• Bitcoin produced in January: 626
• Total bitcoin holdings as of January 31: 10,556
• Month-end operating hashrate: 40.1 EH/s
• MW under contract: 873 MW¹
• Month-end fleet efficiency: 16.15 J/Th
• Total bitcoin sold in January: 22.47
• Deployed fleet: 217,272
• CY2025 bitcoin produced: 626

Throughout January 2025, the Company’s average hashrate was 34.76 EH/s and average fleet efficiency was 17.37 J/Th, resulting in an average of 20.19 bitcoin mined daily. The single day high reached 22.89 bitcoin. The Company sold 22.47 bitcoin during January 2025 at an average price of approximately $100,412 per bitcoin.

¹MW includes all contracted power capacity for wholly owned sites and excludes contracted capacity through hosting agreements and/or other non-binding arrangements.

Additional Updates
Twin City, Georgia. A new 12 MW site in Georgia housing S21 Pro miners is almost fully online, with approximately 0.7 EH/s contributing to CleanSpark’s operating hashrate. The remaining 0.1 EH/s is expected to come online in the coming weeks.

Cheyenne, Wyoming: We are actively deploying in our technologically advanced immersion environment and remain on track for completion in this quarter. Full deployment is expected to contribute 5 EH/s to CleanSpark’s most efficient hashrate once fully energized using the latest generation S21 XP Immersion machines.
