Bit Digital Reaffirms Long-Term Investment in WhiteFiber Shares

NEW YORK, Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bit Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTBT) (“Bit Digital” or the “Company”) today reaffirmed its long-term investment in WhiteFiber, Inc. (“WhiteFiber” or “WYFI”) and confirmed that it will not sell any of its WhiteFiber shares in any secondary offering or other discretionary disposition during 2026.

Following WhiteFiber’s initial public offering in August 2025, Bit Digital continues to own approximately 27 million shares of WhiteFiber. On February 2, 2026, the IPO lockup period for Bit Digital’s WhiteFiber shares will expire. As previously stated on the Company’s November 2025 earnings call, Bit Digital views its investment in WhiteFiber as a core strategic holding and will not sell any of its WYFI shares during 2026 following the expiration of the IPO lockup. From time to time, the Company may engage in limited treasury or risk-management activities, including derivative transactions, in the ordinary course of corporate finance. Any such activities would be undertaken with the intention of maintaining Bit Digital’s long-term ownership position in WhiteFiber and are not intended to represent a monetization of its WhiteFiber investment.

Sam Tabar, Chief Executive Officer of Bit Digital, commented:

“As WhiteFiber’s IPO lockup approaches expiration, we want to reaffirm what we previously communicated to investors. WhiteFiber is central to our long-term strategy and represents our core exposure to AI infrastructure, alongside our Ethereum-focused digital asset platform. Our continued ownership reflects strong alignment with WhiteFiber’s other shareholders and underscores our confidence in the company’s long-term growth.”
