Bit Digital, Inc. (NASDAQ:BTBT) is possibly approaching a major achievement in its business, so we would like to shine some light on the company. Bit Digital, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, engages in the bitcoin mining business. With the latest financial year loss of US$14m and a trailing-twelve-month loss of US$2.7m, the US$595m market-cap company alleviated its loss by moving closer towards its target of breakeven.

Bit Digital is bordering on breakeven, according to the 4 American Software analysts. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2024, before turning a profit of US$47m in 2025. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven just over a year from now. In order to meet this breakeven date, we calculated the rate at which the company must grow year-on-year. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 120% is expected, which signals high confidence from analysts. Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.

Given this is a high-level overview, we won’t go into details of Bit Digital's upcoming projects, but, take into account that generally a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.

One thing we’d like to point out is that Bit Digital has no debt on its balance sheet, which is rare for a loss-making growth company, which usually has a high level of debt relative to its equity. The company currently operates purely off its shareholder funding and has no debt obligation, reducing concerns around repayments and making it a less risky investment.
