The results were heavily influenced by non-cash mark-to-market adjustments tied to declines in <span>crypto<\/span> prices.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"897\" data-end=\"1173\">The company held approximately 155,444 ether at quarter-end, with a market value of roughly $327 million based on ether\u2019s closing price of about $2,104 on March 31. Bit Digital said its average acquisition price across all <span>ETH<\/span> holdings stood at approximately $3,045 per token.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1175\" data-end=\"1351\">Total revenue fell 13.6% quarter over quarter to $27.9 million, primarily due to weaker cloud services revenue, lower <span>staking<\/span> income, and reduced digital asset mining activity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1353\" data-end=\"1636\">Still, the company continued to emphasize its long-term ethereum strategy centered on treasury management and <span>staking<\/span>. Revenue generated from <span>ETH<\/span> <span>staking<\/span> totaled $2.3 million during the quarter, though that marked a 29% decline from the prior period as average ether prices weakened.<\/p>\n<p> <!-- --> <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1638\" data-end=\"1861\">As part of its treasury repositioning, Bit Digital moved roughly 70,000 <span>ETH<\/span> into <span>liquid staking<\/span> through LsETH to maintain flexibility while continuing to earn yield. About 60,677 <span>ETH<\/span> remained natively staked as of April 30.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1863\" data-end=\"2013\">CEO Sam Tabar said the company views ethereum and AI infrastructure as interconnected parts of a broader digital financial system.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:left\" data-start=\"2015\" data-end=\"2209\">Ethereum and AI infrastructure are components of a single integrated platform aligned with the future of the digital financial system. The future financial system will increasingly revolve around automated, on-chain value transfer between AI agents and applications. Ethereum is particularly well-positioned to serve as the settlement layer for that activity.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"2211\" data-end=\"2519\">The company\u2019s infrastructure exposure comes through Whitefiber, its majority-owned AI and high-performance computing subsidiary. Bit Digital held approximately 27 million Whitefiber shares at quarter-end, representing an implied value of roughly $322 million based on the company\u2019s Nasdaq closing price.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2521\" data-end=\"2708\">Cloud services revenue declined 13% sequentially to $16.8 million, while colocation revenue rose nearly 24% to $4.8 million, helped by a full-quarter contribution from the MTL-3 facility.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2710\" data-end=\"2944\"> <span>Bitcoin mining<\/span> revenue, meanwhile, dropped 33% to $3.7 million as Bit Digital continued to scale back exposure to the sector.
