Shares of the Bitcoin mining firm Bit Digital surged by 7% after the company announced a revenue increase exceeding 140% in 2024, driven by its expanding cloud services segment.
The latest financial figures from Bit Digital indicate a significant transformation as its growing cloud services and high-performance computing (HPC) endeavors seem to be altering its revenue composition. In a recent announcement on Friday, March 14, the company revealed total revenue of $108.1 million for 2024, representing a 141% rise compared to the previous year.
Management credits the impressive growth to the rapid escalation of its HPC operations. Notably, the cloud services segment, which generated $45.7 million, was not a part of the business just a year ago.
“Profitability improved alongside business expansion, supported by stronger gross margins and operational efficiencies. A strong liquidity position and no debt provide the flexibility to make targeted investments that enhance capabilities and long-term competitiveness.”
On another note, Bitcoin (BTC) mining revenue rose by 32% to $58.6 million, although its proportion of overall revenue decreased from 98% in 2023 to 54% in 2024. The company also reported an improvement in profitability, with a net income of $0.19 per share, reversing last year’s loss of $0.16 per share.

Nevertheless, operational metrics reveal both advancements and obstacles. The company mined 949.9 BTC in 2024, a 37% decline from 2023, indicating challenges posed by the halving event in April and rising network difficulty. Conversely, revenue from Ethereum (ETH) staking surged by 169% to $1.8 million.
Bit Digital’s cloud expansion efforts continue to progress, marked by partnerships with Boosteroid and DNA Fund. Plans for a new data center project in Quebec, set to be powered by hydroelectric energy, are also underway.
“The company anticipates investing approximately $19.3 million to develop the site, with potential to expand up to 13MW within 24-36 months, depending on Hydro-Quebec’s approval.”
Bit Digital noted that profitability has improved along with its growth, while also indicating that it is considering “cost-effective financing options.” The firm highlighted its robust liquidity and absence of debt, although it remains committed to maintaining financial discipline. Following this announcement, Bit Digital’s shares climbed 7% to $2.41, according to Nasdaq data.
