Corporate Highlights for May 2023

• In May 2023, the Company produced 113.2 BTC, a 31% increase compared to the prior month.

• During the month, Bit Digital transferred 129 BTC to its strategic partner, Auros Global Limited, as collateral for yield optimization strategies connected to 430 BTC that Auros is conducting on behalf of Bit Digital.
