The post Bit Digital drops Bitcoin to join the Ethereum treasury bandwagon appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Bit Digital swapped 280 BTC alongside $172M ETH to increase its treasury reserves to over 100K ETH. This, after the firm’s CEO claimed that Ethereum would rewrite the financial system. Bit Digital has dumped its entire 280 Bitcoin [BTC] reserve and gone all in on Ethereum [ETH]. In a statement on 7 July, the firm said it raised $172 million and bumped up its ETH treasury to 100,603 ETH. During a recent CNBC interview, the firm’s CEO Samir Tabar said, “We exited a profitable BTC mining business and sold all the BTC and poured it all into Ethereum. We’re just getting started.” When asked about the motivation behind the swap, Tabar added that Ethereum has “the ability to rewrite the entire financial system.” He went on to say, “Ethereum is the only blue-chip institutional blockchain that can tokenize the world’s traditional real-world assets. There is no second best.” ETH treasury heats up Before dumping its BTC and the capital raise, Bit Digital had only 24,434 ETH as of Q1 2025. Simply put, they have acquired nearly 80k of the crypto over the past three months. The firm is now the second Bitcoin mining-focused firm to jump onto the ETH treasury bandwagon. On 30 June, BitMine Immersion Technologies announced a $250M raise for its ETH treasury plan, spearheaded by Fundstrat’s CIO Tom Lee. Now, the total ETH stacked by public companies and Web3 entities has hit $3.3 billion. In particular, public firms control 313.8k ETH or 24% of the total strategic ETH reserves. In fact, Bit Digital has climbed into the top 10 ETH treasury firms list after its latest purchase and it could soon rival Coinbase (137.3k ETH) for the fourth position.
