Comments: On December 27, 2024, Bit Digital, Inc. acquired real estate and a building for a build-to-suit 5MW Tier-3 data center expansion project in Montreal, Canada, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Enovum Data Centers MTL II, L.P. This acquisition is part of a larger strategy to expand the company's HPC data center footprint to 32MW by 2025. The site was purchased for CAD $33.5 million (approximately USD $23.3 million) from a subsidiary of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. Funding for the purchase was initially provided with cash on hand, while the company plans to secure mortgage financing for both the acquisition and subsequent infrastructure investments, estimated at approximately CAD $27.6 million (USD $19.3 million) for development to Tier-3 standards. The site, covering 160,000 square feet, was formerly an encapsulation manufacturing facility and is set to be ready by May 2025, featuring advanced cooling technologies and powered by 100% renewable hydroelectricity from Hydro-Quebec. The acquisition is designed to allow for scalable growth according to market demand.
