AKRON, Ohio, Feb. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- BIT Mining Limited (NYSE: BTCM) ("BIT Mining," "the Company," "we," "us," or "our company"), a leading technology-driven cryptocurrency mining company, today reported its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

Cryptocurrency Business Progress

BIT Mining has four primary business segments covering self-mining, mining pool, data center operation and mining machine manufacturing. The Company is pursuing its development strategy to focus on cryptocurrency mining operations globally.

Our subsidiary, Bee Computing, has designed a new generation of highly efficient Bitcoin ("BTC") and Dogecoin ("DOGE") / Litecoin ("LTC") mining machines utilizing the most advanced technology.

• Together with our partners, we have successfully produced more than 5,000 DOGE/LTC mining machines with a total hash rate capacity of approximately 22,373 GH/s. We have deployed all of these DOGE/LTC mining machines at our Ohio data center for use in our self-mining business. We expect to have produced approximately 8,000 DOGE/LTC mining machines in aggregate by early April 2023.
• Our BTC mining ASIC has been taped out and is in the process of being fine-tuned and optimized. The first silicon engineering sample of the chips will be available by the end of February 2023. We expect to have the first batch of system engineering samples in the first half of 2023.
• Bee Computing successfully produced 252 W1 ASIC Ethereum Classic ("ETC") mining machines in August 2022, achieving power efficiency of 0.5 W/MH. These ETC mining machines have been deployed and are online at the cryptocurrency mining data center we host in Akron, Ohio (the "Ohio Mining Site"). As of today, a substation with power capacity of 82.5 megawatts has completed construction and is operational at the Ohio Mining Site.

The Ethereum Merge, namely, of the Ethereum Mainnet and the Beacon Chain Proof-of-Stake system (the "Merge"), occurred on September 15, 2022. After the Merge, the Company changed its strategy to ETC cryptocurrency mining operations. As of today, the total hash rate capacity of our online ETC mining machines is approximately 3,525 GH/s. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, we produced 35,936 ETC from our ETC cryptocurrency mining operations, and recognized revenue of approximately US$0.8 million.

Due to recent declines in cryptocurrency markets, we suspended the operation of certain types of BTC mining machines. Despite the changes and uncertain environment, we are still determined to improve our quality and efficiency. As of today, the total hash rate capacity of our online BTC mining machines is approximately 66 PH/s. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, we produced 65 BTC from our BTC cryptocurrency mining operations, and recognized revenue of approximately US$1.1 million.

Due to continued declines in cryptocurrency prices in the fourth quarter of 2022, our mining pool business revenue decreased from US$88.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to US$53.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022.

"We are pleased to report our financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2022. Despite challenging market conditions, we have continued to optimize our operations and enhance our resilience to market volatility," said Xianfeng Yang, CEO of BIT Mining. "During the quarter, we strengthened our vertical integration across our mining center, mining machine R&D, and mining pool businesses. Despite the crypto market downturn and high energy prices in November and December, we were able to manage the energy volatility through our fixed power pricing strategy during the winter months. We remain focused on our long-term development strategy, and we are confident in our ability to create value for our shareholders in the future," Yang added. "The change in the ratio of our American Depositary Shares to our Class A ordinary shares, executed in late December, was carried out smoothly. We successfully launched a new DOGE/LTC mining machine, LD3, that has raised investor confidence and garnered significant interest from machine buyers. We also continue to enhance our technology development, not only in hardware but also in software."
