Bit Digital’s AI/HPC Strategy With Sam Tabar | Bitcoin Stock Show

The Mining Pod | Bitcoin Mining News

Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Sam Tabar, CEO of NASDAQ-listed Bit Digital, joins us today to talk about Bit Digital’s post-Halving mining strategy and (more importantly) what the company is doing to scale its AI business line. Bit Digital earned $12.5 million with its HPC services in Q2-2024, the most of any AI-focused public bitcoin miner. During the show, Tabar discusses how they executed to reach this milestone, their aspirations to book $700 million in AI revenue over the next five years, and more – including a few choice words regarding miners who plan to retrofit existing bitcoin miners for AI/HPC jobs. Note, this podcast is for educational purposes only and is not financial advice.
