Investor Notice
Investing in our securities involves a high
degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and forward-looking statements
described under "Risk Factors" in Item 3.D of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. If
any material risk was to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the value
of our securities could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment. The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the
only ones facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations.
In addition, our past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be
used to anticipate results in the future. Future changes in the network-wide mining difficulty rate or bitcoin hash rate may also materially
affect the future performance of Bit Digital's production of bitcoin. Actual operating results will vary depending on many factors including
network difficulty rate, total hash rate of the network, the operations of our facilities, the status of our miners, and other factors.
See "Safe Harbor Statement" below.
