Bit Digital commits to hold WhiteFiber shares through 2026

Bit Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: BTBT) announced it will not sell any of its WhiteFiber Inc. shares during 2026, following the expiration of the initial public offering lockup period on February 2, 2026.

The company currently owns approximately 27 million shares of WhiteFiber following the AI infrastructure provider's IPO in August 2025. Bit Digital stated it views its WhiteFiber investment as a core strategic holding and will refrain from any secondary offerings or discretionary dispositions of the shares throughout 2026.

"WhiteFiber is central to our long-term strategy and represents our core exposure to AI infrastructure, alongside our Ethereum-focused digital asset platform," said Sam Tabar, Chief Executive Officer of Bit Digital.

The company indicated it may engage in limited treasury or risk-management activities, including derivative transactions, in the ordinary course of corporate finance. Bit Digital said such activities would be intended to maintain its long-term ownership position in WhiteFiber rather than monetize the investment.

Bit Digital operates as a digital asset platform focused on Ethereum-native treasury and staking strategies. The company began accumulating and staking ETH in 2022 and operates institutional Ethereum staking infrastructure. WhiteFiber trades on NASDAQ under the ticker WYFI and provides AI infrastructure and high-performance computing solutions.

The announcement comes as the IPO lockup period for Bit Digital's WhiteFiber shares approaches expiration, which typically allows early investors to sell their holdings in the public market.
