Bit Digital extends $100 million loan facility to WhiteFiber, backed by Ethereum credit line
Bit Digital announced on Wednesday that it is extending a $100 million delayed-draw term loan facility to a subsidiary of its majority-owned WhiteFiber, a New York-based AI infrastructure and high-performance computing provider.
The facility, which can be expanded to $150 million upon mutual agreement, is designed to support WhiteFiber's near-term high-performance computing and AI expansion initiatives, according to a statement.
Bit Digital said it expects advances under the facility to be funded in whole or in part through drawings against an Ethereum-denominated secured credit facility. The arrangement allows the company to retain ETH exposure while earning a financing spread on the loan asset.
"This transaction reflects a disciplined and differentiated capital allocation approach that further supports our existing AI Infrastructure investment thesis, as expressed through our holdings of WhiteFiber, while pursuing attractive risk-adjusted economics for our treasury that we believe exceed traditional ETH staking yields," Bit Digital CEO Sam Tabar said.
The deal arrives as Bit Digital has fully exited its bitcoin mining business. In January, the company announced plans to completely wind down mining operations, a business it entered in 2020.
Tabar wrote in a letter to shareholders at the time that mining "became a less efficient use of capital" relative to opportunities offering active participation and yield generation. The company consolidated its digital asset exposure into Ethereum and prioritized its AI infrastructure stake in WhiteFiber.
In the first quarter of 2026, Bit Digital reported $27.9 million in total revenue, down 13.6% from Q4 2025. The company posted a net loss of $146.7 million for Q1, compared with a $185.3 million net loss in the previous quarter.
Shares of Bit Digital closed at $2.03 on Wednesday, up 2.01% for the session.

"Agent vs US Treasury" — Who Will Dominate the US Stock Market?
The wave of AI Agents and US Treasury yields are splitting the US stock market into two worlds: Meta's release of the Muse model boosted its market value by $220 billion in a single week, propelling the Nasdaq's standout performance; however, excluding AI stocks, the S&P 500 actually fell 1% this week, with the number of new lows on the New York Stock Exchange surpassing new highs for nine consecutive days, signaling the near end of "breadth trading." Goldman Sachs bluntly stated that this is a "frustrating cat-and-mouse game" between the stock market and interest rates—any breakout can be snuffed out by the bond market at any time, so equity holders must short US Treasury bonds to hedge simultaneously.
