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, 2023 ("Annual Report").
Notwithstanding the fact that Bit Digital Inc. has not conducted
operations in the PRC since September 30,
2021 we have previously disclosed under Risk Factors in our
Annual Report: "We may be subject to fines and penalties for any
noncompliance with or any liabilities in our former business in
China in a certain period from now
on." Although the statute of limitations for non-compliance by our
former business in the PRC is generally two years and the Company
has been out of the PRC, for more than two years, the Authority may
still find its prior bitcoin mining operations
involved a threat to financial security. In such event, the
two-year period would be extended to five years. 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.

results could differ materially from those anticipated in these
