“BitFuFu delivered another strong quarter, achieving a 70% year-over-year increase in total revenue.” said Leo Lu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

 

“We saw a substantial increase in our cloud-mining registered user base, surpassing 395,000 users as of June 30. This represents an 87% increase year-over-year and a 23% rise sequentially from the first quarter of 2024. Cloud-mining revenue contributed approximately 60% of BitFuFu’s second-quarter revenue. Our cloud-mining business enables us to effectively lock in the price of Bitcoin, serving as a hedge against Bitcoin price volatility—a strategy that has proven particularly valuable during the recent sharp decline in Bitcoin prices.”

 

Calla Zhao, Chief Financial Officer, said, “BitFuFu continues to maintain a healthy balance sheet with a net cash position of $52.5 million, including digital assets, as of the end of the second quarter, which provides a solid foundation to execute on our growth strategy.”

 

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

 

Revenue

 

Total revenue in the second quarter of 2024 was US$129.4 million, representing an increase of 69.7% from US$76.3 million in the same period of 2023, driven by growth in cloud-mining solutions and self-mining operations.

 

Revenue from cloud-mining solutions was US$77.0 million, representing an increase of 66.8% from US$46.2 million in the same period of 2023, primarily due to repeat purchases of cloud-mining services from existing customers and the addition of new customers. In the second quarter of 2024, recurring revenue from customers who were active in the same period of 2023 was US$47.4 million, representing 61.5% of cloud-mining revenue. Revenue from new customers acquired after June 30, 2023, totaled US$29.6 million, accounting for 38.5% of cloud-mining revenue. BitFuFu realized a net dollar retention rate of 103% for the second quarter of 2024, which was calculated by dividing the amount of recurring revenue in second quarter of 2024 by the amount of revenue in same period of 2023.

 

 

4The Company has early adopted the new FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-08, Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets on January 1, 2024. Under the new standard, the Company’s Bitcoin holdings are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s income statement.

Revenue from Bitcoin self-mining operations in the second quarter of 2024 was US$51.1 million, representing an increase of 81.0% from US$28.2 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by a US$38.2 million increase due to the 135.0% year-over-year increase in the average price of BTC, partially offset by a US$15.3 million decrease due to the decline in BTC production. In the second quarter of 2024, BitFuFu’s BTC production from self-mining operations decreased 23.1% to 780 BTCs, from 1,014 BTCs in the same period of 2023, as a result of the increase in blockchain difficulty for BTC mining and the halving event in April 2024.

 

Revenue from hosting services in the second quarter of 2024 was US$1.1 million, a decline of 40.7% from US$1.9 million in the same period of 2023. The decline was primarily due to temporary suspension or termination of hosted services by some customers who sought to limit losses from mining following the April 2024 halving.

 

In the second quarter of 2024, cloud-mining solutions accounted for 59.5% of total revenue, Bitcoin self-mining operations accounted for 39.5%, and hosting services and others accounted for 1.0%.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue in the second quarter of 2024 was US$118.4 million, representing an increase of 74.2% from US$68.0 million in the same period of 2023, primarily due to an increase in costs associated with the expansion of the Company’s cloud-mining solutions and self-mining operations, in line with the corresponding increase in revenue over the same period.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses in the second quarter of 2024 increased to US$0.6 million, compared to US$0.4 million in the same period of 2023, driven by an increase spending on advertising and promotional activities during the quarter. However, the sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total cloud-mining revenue remained stable at 0.8%, in-line with the second quarter of 2023 despite the significant year-over-year increase in cloud-mining revenue.

 

General and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2024 were US$1.4 million versus US$0.6 million in the same period of 2023. The year-over-year increase was driven by a US$0.5 million increase in legal and other consulting expenses associated with the expansion of the Company’s business development activities, a US$0.3 million increase in staff costs and other expenses attributable to being a public company following BitFuFu’s listing in March 2024.

 

Second quarter research and development expenses of US$0.3 million were flat compared to the same period of 2023.

 

There were no impairment losses on digital assets during the quarter, compared to US$2.2 million during the same period of 2023.

 

Beginning January 1, 2024, the Company implemented the early adoption of FASB fair value accounting rules, ASU No. 2023-08, Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. The Company recognized a non-cash fair value loss on BTC of US$16.4 million to be reflecting the unfavorable mark-to-market adjustment of BTC price in the second quarter of 2024.

 

Due to the increase in the volume of BTCs sold in the second quarter and a favorable spot rate when the BTCs were sold, the Company recognized a US$9.9 million gain on the sale of digital assets, compared to US$2.9 million during the second quarter of 2023. The remaining BTCs held by the Company is being retained for further potential capital appreciation, reflecting the Company’s careful and strategic management of its digital asset portfolio and ability to capitalize on favorable market conditions.

Net Income

 

Net income in the second quarter of 2024 was US$1.3 million, compared with US$5.1 million in the same period of 2023.

 

Earnings per Share

 

Earnings per basic and diluted ordinary share were US$0.01, compared to US$0.03 in the same period of 2023.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2024 was US$8.3 million, compared with US$13.8 million in the same period of 2023. The decline was primarily driven by US$16.4 million unrealized fair value loss on BTCs due to the ongoing measurement of crypto assets to fair value in the second quarter of 2024.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and digital assets of US$155.0 million, compared with US$76.0 million as of December 31, 2023. The increase was mainly due to the funds raised in connection with the Company’s business combination and listing on NASDAQ in March 2024 and BTCs mined and received from business operations in the first half of 2024. There were 1,721 BTCs held by the Company as of June 30, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

 

BitFuFu uses and considers Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplemental metrics in reviewing and evaluating its performance. BitFuFu defines Adjusted EBITDA as (1) GAAP net profit/loss, plus (2) adjustments to add back/(subtract) interest expense/(income), income tax expense/(benefit), depreciation and amortization; and (3) adjustments for non-recurring items, if any. BitFuFu believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the consolidated financial results in the same manner as its management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods. However, non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under GAAP and are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, which possibly do not reflect all items of expense that affect the Company’s operations. BitFuFu’s calculation of adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods of other companies, and therefore, the comparability of such measure may be limited. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure adjusts for the impact of items that BitFuFu does not consider indicative of the operational performance of its business and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net profit/loss or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of its future performance. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

 

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliation of Net Profit and Adjusted EBITDA” set forth at the end of this release. BitFuFu encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
