The company posted a net loss of $146.7 million for the quarter, slightly improved from the $185.3 million loss in Q4 2025. Management attributed much of the loss to non-cash mark-to-market adjustments on its digital asset holdings.

ETH Staking Revenue Falls as Market Prices Decline

Ethereum staking revenue fell 29.4% to $2.3 million, reflecting lower ETH prices and reduced staking balances. Bit Digital said it has repositioned around 70,000 ETH into liquid staking to maintain flexibility in its treasury operations.

Cloud services brought in $16.8 million, while colocation services contributed $4.8 million. Bitcoin mining revenue dropped nearly 33%, as the company continued to reduce exposure to mining in favor of Ethereum based strategies.

Ethereum fell 29% during the quarter to $2,104 on March 31, and was trading at $2,265 on Friday.
