Bit Digital’s Epic Ethereum Gamble: $172M Raise and 100K ETH Acquired!

Oh, the drama! Bit Digital has decided to ditch Bitcoin and embrace Ethereum with open arms, acquiring over 100,000 ETH after selling all of its BTC. ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

The Nasdaq-listed company raised a whopping $172 million from its BTC sales and became the latest corporate Ethereum treasury firm. Quite the transformation, wouldn’t you say? ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’ธ

“Following a $172 million public equity raise and conversion of its balance sheet from Bitcoin to Ethereum, Bit Digital has accumulated over 100K ETH to become one of the largest corporate treasury companies in the world,” the firm stated on July 7.

Before the offering, the publicly traded digital asset platform held 24,434 ETH as of March 31. After acquiring more ETH using the net proceeds from the public offerings and selling its BTC, the firm has accumulated approximately 100,603 ETH worth around $254 million at current market prices. ๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿš€

“We believe Ethereum has the ability to rewrite the entire financial system,” said Bit Digital CEO Sam Tabar, who added:

“Ethereumโ€™s programmable nature, growing adoption, and staking yield model represent the future of digital assets.”

He said the firm was aligning itself with Ethereumโ€™s “long-term potential” while positioning itself as a focused Ethereum treasury platform in the public markets. ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ”ฎ

“We are starting with exposure to over 100K ETH for now, but we intend to aggressively add more so we become the preeminent ETH holding company in the world.”

Bit Digital has joined the ranks of Joe Lubinโ€™s gaming firm SharpLink and Tom Leeโ€™s Bitmine, which launched a $250 million Ethereum treasury last week. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’ผ

“Tom Lee lit the fuse, Lubin showed the playbook, and Bit Digital just proved scale. ETH-forward treasury strategies are graduating from thesis to trend,” commented former Ethereum developer Eric Conner.

ETH Price Reaction: The Drama Continues

As usual, Ethereum prices have not reacted and have gone in the opposite direction again, in line with the wider market retreat today. ๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ“‰

ETH has declined 2% on the day in a fall to $2,528 at the time of writing. The asset failed to break resistance at $2,600 late last week and has followed the rest of the market into the red this week as US President Donald Trump started dishing out his trade tariff letters. ๐Ÿ’ผ๐Ÿ“œ

Ethereum is still tightly range-bound, in a sideways channel where it has been stuck for the past two months. ๐ŸŽข๐Ÿ“ˆ
