币界网报道:Bit Digital, a Nasdaq-listed crypto mining firm, is transitioning part of its operations from Bitcoin mining to Ethereum staking in pursuit of higher yields. The company announced plans to allocate 2.5 EH/s of its mining capacity to Ethereum staking by Q1 2024, representing about 20% of its total hashrate. CEO Bryan Bullett cited Ethereum's lower energy consumption and more predictable rewards as key factors, noting staking yields currently range between 5-8% compared to Bitcoin mining's volatility. The move follows Bit Digital's $35.6 million net loss in 2022 amid crypto winter pressures. While maintaining its core Bitcoin mining business, the firm has already deployed 6,000 ETH (worth approximately $11 million) for staking through liquid staking protocols. This strategic shift reflects growing industry interest in diversified revenue streams beyond proof-of-work mining, with several public miners exploring staking services amid tightening margins. Bit Digital's shares rose 4% following the announcement.
