Why Bit Digital Sold Its Bitcoin to Bet on Ethereum & AI

The first generation of crypto treasury companies was all about accumulating digital assets. But according to Bit Digital CEO Sam Tabar, that's already becoming outdated. After transforming Bit Digital from a Bitcoin miner into one of the largest publicly traded Ethereum treasury companies, Tabar says the real opportunity isn't simply holding ETH—it's owning the AI infrastructure that could power the next wave of blockchain adoption. In this exclusive Coinage interview, Tabar explains why Bit Digital sold all of its Bitcoin, why it believes Ethereum is the foundation for the coming AI economy, and why today's digital asset treasury companies may eventually need to acquire real operating businesses to survive.
