Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 18, 2025, the wholly-owned Canadian subsidiaries of Bit Digital Inc.’s (the “Company”) wholly-owned subsidiary WhiteFiber Inc. (“WhiteFiber”) entered into a definitive credit agreement (the “Facility”) with the Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”). The Facility provides for an aggregate of up to approximately USD $43.9 million of financing (based on the CAD/U.S.$ rate of exchange of CAD1.00/U.S.$0.7308, as reported by Bloomberg on June 18, 2025). The proceeds are to be used primarily to refinance the buildout of WhiteFiber’s Tier-3 AI data center at 7300 Trans Canada Highway, Pointe-Claire, Quebec (“MTL-2”) as well as USD $5.8 million of revolving term financing (the “Revolver”) (based on the CAD/U.S.$ rate of exchange of CAD1.00/U.S.$0.7308, as reported by Bloomberg on June 18, 2025). The Facility is among RBC and WhiteFiber’s subsidiary Enovum Data Center Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively “Enovum”) and is a non-recourse to WhiteFiber and Bit Digital. Enovum entered into a three-year USD $18.5 million non-revolving lease facility to finance specific equipment costs, including related installation costs, building improvements and soft costs, and/or sale and leasing of existing equipment. The lease facility provides for straight-line amortization of six years and capital moratorium of six months after disbursement is complete. RBC may cancel any unutilized portion of the facility after March 31, 2026. The interest rate is fixed based on the rental rate determined by RBC for the three-year term of the lease.

 

As part of the Facility, Enovum entered into a three-year USD $19.6 million (based on the CAD/U.S.$ rate of exchange of CAD1.00/U.S.$0.7308, as reported by Bloomberg on June 18, 2025) non-revolving real estate term loan facility. The purpose of this facility is to refinance the Company’s purchase of MTL-2. The interest rate is to be determined at the time of borrowing, or a floating interest rate ranging from RBP plus 0.75% to CORRA (“Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average”) plus 250 bps. Payment of principal and interest is due 30 days after drawdown and is repayable in full on the last day of the three-year term.

 

The Revolver is being provided by RBC by way of Letters of Credit and Letters of Guaranty with fees to be determined on a transaction by transaction basis. This facility will be available for the 36 month term subject to the issuance of the EDC (Export and Development Canada) Performance Security Guaranty in the amount of USD $5.8 million (based on the CAD/U.S.$ rate of exchange of CAD1.00/U.S.$0.7308, as reported by Bloomberg on June 18, 2025) and other related supporting documents.

 

Enovum agreed to certain financial covenants included maintaining on a combined basis between MTL-1 and MTL-2: fixed charge coverage of not less than 1.20:1 and a ratio of Net Funded Debt to EBITDA of not greater than 4.25:1 and decreasing to 3.50:1 from December 31, 2027.

 

The foregoing is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Facility and not a complete discussion of the document. Accordingly, the foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Facility which will be filed with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2025.

The buildout of MTL-2 is expected to be completed and MTL-2 is expected to be operational in the fourth quarter of 2025. In addition, WhiteFiber’s leased data center site in Saint-Jérôme, Québec (“MTL-3”) is being retrofitted to Tier-3 data center standards and, subject to receipt of all required permits, is expected to be operational in the fourth quarter of 2025. WhiteFiber is aggressively pursuing its development pipeline and expects to add 12 MW (gross) of capacity, inclusive of the MTL-2 and MTL-3 sites, for total capacity of approximately 16 MW (gross), by the end of 2025. Furthermore, WhiteFiber is retrofitting its recently acquired former industrial facility located outside of Greensboro, NC (“NC-1”) to Tier-3 data center standards. The initial 24 MW (gross) capacity at NC-1 is expected to be online in the first quarter of 2026. WhiteFiber is targeting total aggregate data center capacity of 76 MW (gross) by the end of 2026, largely underpinned by assets under WhiteFiber’s control, as well as WhiteFiber’s 1,300 MW pipeline of potential new data center projects (as of May 30, 2025). WhiteFiber’s ability to achieve its targeted MW capacity is conditioned upon its ability to obtain additional financing.
