Q2 Net Loss Widens to $111.7M
Net loss attributable to shareholders was $107.2 million for Q2 2026, compared to net income of $14.9 million in Q2 2025. The loss was driven by a $46.0 million impairment on LsETH digital intangible assets and a $28.8 million loss on digital assets from falling crypto prices.

LsETH Impairment Hits $46M
The company recognized a $46.0 million impairment on its LsETH holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2026, as the carrying value of the liquid staking tokens exceeded their fair value. This is a non-cash charge but reflects significant unrealized losses on the company's Ethereum treasury strategy.

Total Liabilities More Than Double
Total liabilities increased to $703.8 million as of June 30, 2026, from $309.2 million at December 31, 2025. The increase was driven by $230 million in 2031 convertible notes issued by WhiteFiber and $103.9 million in new term debt, including a $50 million collateralized borrowing from Galaxy Digital.

Cash Position Declines
Cash and cash equivalents fell to $83.6 million from $118.4 million at year-end 2025. The company used $312.5 million in investing activities, primarily for data center construction, partially offset by $230.7 million in financing activities.
Analysis · BTBT · Crypto Assets
Bit Digital's Q2 loss widened dramatically to $111.7 million, driven by a $46.0 million impairment on its LsETH holdings and a $28.8 million mark-to-market loss on digital assets. The balance sheet deteriorated sharply: total liabilities more than doubled to $703.8 million from $309.2 million at year-end, as the company layered on $230 million in 2031 convertible notes and $103.9 million in new term debt. Cash fell to $83.6 million from $118.4 million. The company is funding an aggressive data center buildout through WhiteFiber, but the financing is increasingly debt-heavy and the digital asset treasury is bleeding value. This is a material deterioration in financial condition that investors need to see.
