Binance secured the ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certificates as an organization meeting the internationally recognized standards in information security governance and privacy information management, respectively. Building robust security and privacy measures has always been a key priority for Binance, and these ISO certifications are a testament to the company’s consistent efforts on these fronts.

Our data protection team works closely with other teams – including security, legal, compliance, and operations – to ensure that Binance meets the strong global privacy requirements. We’re glad to see our teams’ efforts rewarded with these independently accredited certifications. This is a significant milestone for us at Binance, as we continue to advance security and privacy standards within the blockchain space.”

Moving forward, Binance will be undergoing annual surveillance audits to ensure continued conformity with the standards set out within the ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certifications.

EOS Rebrands to Vaulta, Announces Strategic Shift to Web3 Banking and Banking Advisory Group

Published

on

The rebrand represents the culmination of years of development and market observation, positioning Vaulta to harness Bitcoin’s rising global dominance and lay the groundwork for the future of digital finance.

EOS Network, a scalable operating system that powers Web3 banking with fast, low-cost transactions, seamless blockchain connectivity, and decentralized data management, today announced it will rebrand to Vaulta, aligning with a strategic shift to Web3 banking. The official transition, which will include a token swap, is scheduled for the end of May 2025 (subject to confirmation and change).

The transition from EOS to Vaulta signifies the culmination of years of planning and development with the goal of delivering on a promise to build a secure, scalable, and inclusive financial ecosystem. Over the past couple of years, the team has worked towards the goal of integrating Web3 technology with established financial systems to realize the vision of Web3 banking – unlocking the immense potential for assets like Bitcoin and other decentralized technologies.

Yves La Rose, Founder and CEO of Vaulta Foundation, commented: “This transformation represents more than just a name change; it’s a decisive step forward in our mission to deliver open, accessible financial access for everyone. Vaulta is the product of years of planning, strategic development, and thoughtful design, culminating in a holistic Web3 banking approach. Web3 has the potential to reshape global finance and Vaulta is at the forefront of this evolution”

The rebrand will also see the creation of the Vaulta Banking Advisory Council, composed of a team of banking and Web3 experts who will provide expertise on bridging traditional finance with decentralized infrastructure and Web3 systems. This advisory group will assist with a high-level strategy that adheres to global compliance standards and helps to identify key real-world piloting opportunities. The Banking Advisory Council will include several notable thought leaders; Lawrence Truong, Chief Executive Officer – Systemic Trust, Didier Lavalle, Chief Executive Officer – Tetra, Alexander Nelson, Senior Director, Digital Finance – ATB Financial, Jonathan Rizzo, Senior Business Solution Specialist, Digital Finance – ATB Financial.

Alexander Nelson, Senior Director of Digital Finance at ATB Financial commented “Vaulta’s strategic realignment towards Web3 Banking is a significant development for the banking industry. Their robust infrastructure has the potential to connect traditional banking with the benefits of blockchain technology. This move not only opens the door for traditional funds to enter DeFi through Bitcoin but also paves the way for greater institutional acceptance. I’m excited to join the Banking Advisory Council and work together with Vaulta on their next phase of growth.”

Vaulta will seek to revolutionize the financial services industry by acting as a scalable and robust operating system that will power real-world financial applications. The groundwork for this innovation has already been established under the EOS brand through key aspects of the network’s tech stack, including its C++ smart contract architecture, decentralized on-chain RAM database, and its multi-chain interoperability (IBC) environment. Vaulta directly integrates with exSat, a Bitcoin digital banking solution transforming Bitcoin into the backbone of a decentralized financial ecosystem. exSat’s Bitcoin digital banking services complement Vaulta’s BankingOS.

Vaulta will leverage strategic partnerships with multiple industry leaders to drive this new direction, including Ceffu, Spirit Blockchain, and Blockchain Insurance Inc. These partnerships will work to expand the capabilities of Vaulta’s Web3 Banking ecosystem through specific use cases for digital assets, identified as its “Four Pillars”; Wealth Management, Consumer Payments, Portfolio Management, and Insurance. The development of the Four Pillars will allow Vaulta to unlock novel yield-generation opportunities, access to real-world asset (RWA) investments, and establish insurance tailor-made for blockchain.

Vaulta plans to announce further strategic partnerships over the coming months, aligning with ongoing Web3 banking and infrastructure initiatives. The name of the new token ticker and launch of the swap portal is scheduled for the end of May (subject to confirmation and change).

Published

Bit Digital, Inc. (the “Company”), a global platform for high-performance computing (“HPC”) infrastructure and digital asset production headquartered in New York City, today announced its financial results for Fiscal Year 2024. In conjunction with the Company’s transition to domestic filer status, Bit Digital filed its Form 10K report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 14, 2025. The Company will host a conference call on March 14, 2025, at 10:00 AM ET to discuss results.

Financial Highlights for Fiscal Year 2024

  • Total revenue for fiscal year 2024 was $108.1 million, a 141% increase compared to the prior year’s results. The increase was primarily driven by the commencement of our high performance computing services (“HPC”) business.
  • Revenue from bitcoin mining was $58.6 million for fiscal year 2024 , a 32% increase compared to the prior year. Cloud services revenue was $45.7 million for 2024 compared to nil the prior year. Colocation services revenue, related to the Company’s acquisition of Enovum Data Centers Corp in October 2024, was $1.4 million for the period. ETH staking revenue was $1.8 million for 2024, a 169% increase from the prior year.
  • Revenue from digital asset mining comprised 54% of total revenue for 2024 compared to 98% during 2023. The change was driven by the commencement of the Company’s HPC business lines, with cloud services revenue generating 42% of total 2024 revenue. Digital asset mining comprised 40% of revenue during the fourth quarter of 2024.
  • The Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $98.9 million, and total liquidity (defined as cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, USDC, and the fair market value of digital assets) of approximately $260.7 million, as of December 31, 2024.
  • Total assets were $538.2 million and Shareholders’ Equity amounted to $463.5 million as of December 31, 2024.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $73.0 million for the fiscal year 2024 compared to $12.4 million for fiscal year 2023. Adjusted EBITDA includes a $55.7 million in pre-tax gains on digital assets.
  • GAAP earnings per share was $0.19 on a fully diluted basis for fiscal year 2024 compared to a loss per share of $(0.16) for the prior year.

Operational Highlights for Fiscal Year 2024

  • The Company earned 949.9 bitcoins during fiscal year 2024 , a 37% decrease from the prior year. The decline was primarily driven by a reduction in block rewards following the halving event in April 2024 and by an increase in network difficulty, and partially offset by an increase in the Company’s average operational hash rate.
  • The Company paid approximately $0.05 per kilowatt hour to its hosting partners for electricity consumed for mining operations during fiscal year 2024 .
  • The average fleet efficiency for the active fleet was approximately 26.2 J/TH as of December 31, 2024.

  • As of December 31, 2024, we had 24,239 miners owned or operating (in Iceland) for bitcoin mining with a total maximum hash rate of 2.6 EH/s.
  • The Company’s active hash rate of its bitcoin mining fleet was approximately 1.8 EH/s as of December 31, 2024.

The Company finalized an initial order of 300 GPUs, projected to generate approximately $4.6 million in revenue over the five-year term. The MSA provides Boosteroid with the option to expand in increments of 100 servers, up to 50,000 servers, representing a potential $700 million revenue opportunity over the five-year term, subject to deployment plans and market conditions. The Company anticipates additional deployments throughout 2025.
  • On October 14, 2024, Bit Digital announced the acquisition of Enovum Data Centers (“Enovum”) for a total consideration of CAD $62.8MM (approximately USD $46MM based on a CAD/USD exchange rate of 0.73). The acquisition was completed on a debt-free basis, with a normalized level of working capital acquired, funded by approximately CAD $56 million of cash and approximately 1.62 million share equivalents issued solely to key management who rolled-over a significant portion of their existing ownership in Enovum. The transaction closed on October 11, 2024. The acquisition vertically integrated Bit Digital’s HPC operations with a 4MW Tier 3 datacenter in Montreal that is fully leased to a plurality of colocation customers. It also provided Bit Digital with a robust expansion pipeline and an experienced team to lead the development process.
  • On December 30, 2024, the Company signed a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with DNA Fund for services utilizing 576 H200 GPUs over 25 months, representing $20.2 million in total revenue.
  • On December 27, 2024, the Company acquired a 160,000 sq. ft. site in Pointe-Claire, QC for a planned 5MW Tier-3 data center expansion. The site is expected to be operational by June 2025, will feature direct-to-chip liquid cooling and a heat reject loop to enhance energy efficiency. The facility will be powered by 100% renewable hydroelectricity from Hydro-Quebec. The Company expects to invest approximately $19.3 million to develop the site, with potential expansion to 13MW within 24-36 months, subject to Hydro-Quebec approval. A portion of the capacity is expected to support the Company’s cloud services business. The acquisition was initially self-funded, with mortgage financing in progress.

Subsequent Events

● As of January 1, 2025, Bit Digital officially transitioned to domestic issuer status under U.S. securities regulations.
● New Cloud Services Agreements:

  • January 2025 – Signed an MSA for 32 H200 GPUs over six months, representing $300,000 in total revenue. Deployment began January 8, 2025.
  • January 2025 – Signed an MSA for 24 H200 GPUs over 12 months, representing $450,000 in total revenue. Deployment began January 27, 2025.
  • January 30, 2025 – Signed an MSA for 40 H200 GPUs over 12 months, representing $750,000 in total revenue. Deployment began January 24, 2025.

● In January 2025, the Company entered into a new agreement to supply its first customer for an additional 464 B200 GPUs for a period of eighteen months. This new agreement replaces the prior agreement whereby the Company was to provide the customer with an incremental 2,048 H100 GPUs. The contract represents approximately $15 million of annualized revenue and features a two-month prepayment from the customer.
● On February 6, 2025, the Company officially rebranded its HPC business as WhiteFiber, Inc., encompassing its GPU cloud services and HPC data center platform, Enovum Data Centers.
● In February 2025, the Company, through its newly rebranded HPC business WhiteFiber, Inc., secured a five-year colocation agreement to provide 5MW (IT load) of built-to-suit data center infrastructure with Cerebras Systems, a leading accelerator of generative AI. The contract will be fulfilled at an Enovum-developed site, with the location to be announced. Operations are expected to commence in mid-2025.

Management Commentary

“2024 marked a pivotal shift for Bit Digital. Our business was historically driven by digital asset mining, but the successful launch and rapid expansion of our HPC business fundamentally reshaped our company. This evolution drove over 140% revenue growth, with these new business lines contributing nearly half of total revenue.

A defining milestone in this transformation was our acquisition of Enovum Data Centers in October. More than just an infrastructure expansion, Enovum provided us with a proven team, operational expertise, and a scalable platform to develop and operate data centers. It also introduced colocation services as a new business line, further diversifying our revenue streams and strengthening our AI compute capabilities.

Bitcoin mining remained a key revenue contributor, generating $58.6 million, a 32% increase year-over-year. However, as our HPC business scaled, mining’s share of total revenue declined to 54% in 2024, and further to 40% in Q424, compared to 98% in 2023. This shift underscores our strategic pivot toward infrastructure-driven revenue streams while maintaining disciplined mining operations.

Profitability improved alongside business expansion, supported by stronger gross margins and operational efficiencies. A strong liquidity position and no debt provide the flexibility to make targeted investments that enhance capabilities and long-term competitiveness. The Company is actively exploring cost-effective financing options to support expansion while maintaining financial discipline.

We are continuously exploring new ways to unlock and create shareholder value, ensuring that we remain dynamic and well-positioned for future opportunities.”

Published

on

Bedrock, the leading multi-asset restaking protocol in decentralized finance (DeFi) and part of GoldenBull Enterprise, continues to push the boundaries of Bitcoin DeFi (BTCFi) innovation, rolling out new features that deliver higher yields and greater accessibility for Bitcoin holders. The launch of Sonic and Corn Vaults enhances yield opportunities, allowing BTC holders to maximize their earnings through more efficient and sustainable strategies. By integrating these innovative vaults, Bedrock is reinforcing its position as the leading BTCFi protocol that enables users to earn without compromising security or decentralization.

In addition to these vaults, Bedrock is lowering barriers to Bitcoin staking by introducing one-click stablecoin staking, simplifying the process for users looking to participate in BTCFi. This innovation ensures that anyone can easily stake their assets and access Bitcoin-native yield generation regardless of technical expertise.

These developments reaffirm Bedrock’s commitment to mass adoption, making BTCFi more accessible, composable, and rewarding. While the market anticipates the TGE, Bedrock continues to build, proving that innovation doesn’t stop, even in the pre-TGE phase.

TGE and the Next Phase of Bedrock’s Growth

The upcoming Token Generation Event (TGE) marks the next major milestone in Bedrock’s expansion, bringing new utilities and user incentives. The BR token will power governance, staking rewards, and protocol incentives, unlocking even more ways for the community to engage with the ecosystem.

Following the TGE, Bedrock will refine its governance model, expand liquidity programs, and introduce additional cross-chain functionality, further strengthening its long-term sustainability.

Zhuling Chen, Core Contributor at Bedrock, emphasized how the TGE will fuel BTCFi innovation. “With our upcoming TGE, we’re taking this a step further—introducing more ways for users to earn from Bitcoin DeFi through continuous rewards and deeper ecosystem incentives, ensuring sustainable and long-term participation in BTCFi 2.0,” he said.

Bedrock’s 2025 Surge: Record Growth & Innovations

Since its inception, Bedrock has delivered significant advancements that have reshaped the BTCFi landscape. Here are some of its key milestones happening since the beginning of 2025:

Total Value Locked (TVL) Growth
On January 31, 2025, Bedrock’s TVL hit an all-time high (ATH) of $686.54 million, representing an impressive 1,685% year-on-year growth.

Ecosystem Expansion
Bedrock continues strengthening its position as the leading restaking sector by supporting 19 chains and over 60 DeFi partners. By integrating with major networks, including Ethereum, Optimism, BNB Chain, Mantle, Bitlayer, IoTeX, and more, Bedrock ensures seamless liquidity movement across different networks.

Community Growth
With 250K+ active users and exponential engagement across social platforms, Bedrock has cultivated one of the most passionate BTCFi communities.

Active Users & Transactions Activity Surge
From January 1, 2025, until the time of writing, the number of uniBTC holders has grown by 40%, with transactions increasing by 547%. Meanwhile, brBTC adoption has skyrocketed, with a 4,965% increase in holders and 13,183% growth in transactions over the same time frame.

Ongoing Innovation & Expanding Cross-Chain Accessibility
The Swap & Deposit feature, launched with Enso’s support on Ethereum and BNB Chain, allows users to mint uniBTC or brBTC directly using ETH, USDT, USDC, BUSD, or DAI in a single transaction, eliminating the need for wrapped assets.

Additionally, Bedrock has strengthened cross-chain bridging, enabling uniBTC transfers across Ethereum, Optimism, Corn, BNB Chain, Mantle, and B2 Mainnet, making it the most comprehensive BTCFi ecosystem.

Calvin Zhou, another Core Contributor at Bedrock, highlighted the significance of this innovation, stating, “With Swap & Deposit, we’re bridging the gap between Bitcoin and DeFi. By enabling the seamless conversion of assets into uniBTC and brBTC in a single transaction, we’ve enhanced capital flow efficiency while ensuring automated liquidity routing across chains. This is a key step in making Bitcoin truly composable within the DeFi landscape.”

Collaboration leverages AI-powered Decarbonization-as-a-Service platform to establish verified carbon intensity products

Context Labs, a leader in carbon performance solutions, has expanded its partnership with Jonah Energy, a leading U.S. natural gas producer, to deploy advanced emissions-tracking technology across its Wyoming and New Mexico operations. This multi-phase initiative builds on prior successes in automating greenhouse gas reporting and positions Jonah as a pioneer in source-level emissions verification for energy customers prioritizing low-carbon intensity fuels.

The expanded collaboration deepens the integration of Context Labs’ AI-enabled Decarbonization-as-a-Service (DaaS) platform, automating data collection, analysis, verification, and reporting while delivering real-time operational insights. This advanced infrastructure empowers Jonah Energy to enhance product differentiation with trusted carbon intensity data, ensuring seamless compliance with evolving regulations. Additionally, the partnership reinforces Jonah’s leadership in emissions transparency and supports its commitment to the United Nations’ Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0, where it became the first U.S. operator to achieve a gold-standard rating for emissions performance.

“Trust in energy data is non-negotiable for utilities, regulators, and consumers,” said Howard Dieter, Vice President of Environmental, Health & Safety and strategic energy initiatives at Jonah Energy. “By scaling Context Labs’ technology, we’re delivering irrefutable proof of performance for natural gas that meets stringent climate benchmarks—particularly for markets demanding verifiable, low-carbon solutions.”

“This expansion underscores how Asset Grade Data can transform operational accountability,” said Dan Harple, founder and CEO of Context Labs. “Jonah’s leadership demonstrates that emissions transparency isn’t just regulatory compliance—it’s a commercial imperative driving value across the energy ecosystem.”

The Context Labs platform is deployed on Microsoft Azure, leveraging its advanced security features and Azure OpenAI Service tools to deliver significant value in energy transitions. For more information, visit Context Labs on the Azure Marketplace.
