Bit Digital, Inc. (BTBT) Reports Q2 Loss, Beats Revenue Estimates
A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post a loss of $0.05 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.05, delivering no surprise.
Over the last four quarters, the company has not been able to surpass consensus EPS estimates.
Bit Digital, which belongs to the Zacks Technology Services industry, posted revenues of $25.7 million for the quarter ended June 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.38%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $28.95 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Bit Digital shares have added about 8.2% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 10%.
What's Next for Bit Digital?
While Bit Digital has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Bit Digital was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

GOP Rep. Blasts Trump in Newspaper the President Is Suing for $10 Billion
A Republican congressman has broken party ranks to very publicly criticize Donald Trump in an opinion piece for the same newspaper the president seems to hate more than any other media outlet right now. John Moolenaar, a GOP House Representative for Michigan who enthusiastically backed Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' as a piece of 'vital legislation' earlier in July, offered a near-surgical dissection of the MAGA leader's recent deal with a U.S. tech giant in a letter to the Wall Street Journal—titled 'Trump Takes a Wrong Turn on Nvidia's Chips.' Trump is suing the WSJ for a cool $10 billion, claiming the newspaper's July article about a bizarre and sexually suggestive birthday card he's alleged to have once sent convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was 'false, malicious, and defamatory.' Moolenaar's letter took a scalpel to the president's decision last week to permit AI computer chip manufacturer Nvidia to sell advanced hardware to China, in exchange for the tech giant paying 15 percent tariffs to the White House on sales to the authoritarian Asian country. The arrangement followed after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, whom Trump has described as 'my friend,' begged the MAGA leader to overturn a Commerce Department policy, implemented in April, that had otherwise restricted those exports, costing Nvidia an estimated $5.5 billion in the process. Trump personally owns at least half a million dollars' worth of Nvidia stock, the Washington Post reported this week. Moolenaar described allowing U.S. companies to sell 'export-controlled technologies to China, while paying the government a percentage of the sales,' as a worrying 'departure from precedent' given such technologies are 'controlled because of their potential to harm national security should they fall into nefarious hands.' To win in the budding AI arms race, as well as triumph in 'our broader rivalry with China,' the Michigan representative suggested it is imperative to 'treat advanced chips as strategic assets, not ordinary trade goods.' He went on to say 'the president's proposal also raises constitutional concerns,' given he is of the view 'Congress, not the executive branch, has the authority to tax, raise revenue and appropriate funds,' adding that legislation Trump has himself signed into law, namely the 2018 Export Control Reform Act, 'explicitly forbids charging fees for export licenses.' 'Taking a percentage of sales revenue in exchange for a license violates that—regardless of whether it is labelled 'license condition' or 'revenue sharing,'' he concluded.

We still aren't sure what's going on with tariffs and inflation — or what will happen next
Recent economic data continue to give mixed signals on how much tariffs are affecting prices, leaving Wall Street conflicted on who is paying for what. While companies may be absorbing much of the tariff costs for now, it's not clear how much longer they can keep it up and how much consumers will be able to shoulder later. Months after President Donald Trump launched his trade war, economic data continue to give mixed signals on how much tariffs are affecting prices in the U.S. While the consumer price index has ticked higher, it has also consistently come in below forecasts, though the latest reading on producer prices surprised to the upside. Certain sectors heavily exposed to tariffs have seen spikes, but July data showed less upward price pressure on some goods prices and more pressure on some services. 'Despite this firmness, the tariff pass-through effect on consumer prices arguably has been less bad than expected so far,' JPMorgan economists led by Michael Feroli said in a note on Friday. According to the bank, one potential explanation for the muted inflation numbers is that firms are eating the tariff cost at the expense of their profit margins, which are currently wide by historical standards and can accommodate the added costs without harming capital or operating budgets. Other explanations include the delayed effects of duties on prices as companies draw down pre-tariff inventories, the seasonality of prices as inflation during the summer tends to be softer than in the winter, and tariff costs being passed though more via services rather than goods, JPMorgan added. Yet another explanation could be that the tariff rates importers are actually paying are far below the headline numbers. A recent Barclays report found that the weighted-average levy in May was just 9% versus the bank's estimate for 12%. That's because demand shifted away from countries with higher tariffs while more than half of U.S. imports that month were duty-free. Despite higher rates on Canada, for example, they don't apply to goods covered under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement. 'The real surprise in the U.S. economy's resilience lies not in its reaction to tariffs but that the rise in the effective tariff rate has been more modest than commonly thought,' the report said. To be sure, Barclays said the weighted-average rate has edged up to 10% today and predicted it will eventually settle at around 15%, as more products like pharmaceuticals are expected to get hit with levies and as loopholes close. Businesses vs. consumers Citi Research still doesn't see much evidence of broad-based price pressure from tariffs and attributed the recent uptick in services to one-time anomalies, such as the 5.8% jump in portfolio management fees due to the rally in asset prices. Citi also doesn't expect consumers to get hit with big price hikes in the future, even as more levies are expected to roll out. 'Softer demand means firms will have difficulty passing tariff costs on to consumers,' chief US economist Andrew Hollenhorst said in a note. 'While some firms might still attempt to slowly increase prices in coming months, the experience so far suggests these increases will be modest in size. This should reduce concerns about upside risk to inflation and increase concerns that decreased profit margins will cause firms to pullback on hiring.' By contrast, Goldman Sachs predicted consumers will pay most of the tariff costs. As of June, they had absorbed 22%, but that figure should jump to 67% by October if the pattern seen in early rounds of Trump's trade actions continues. For businesses, the burden will shrink from 64% down to 8%, while foreign suppliers will see an uptick from 14% to 25% of the tariff impact. Unraveling the mystery over what tariffs are doing—or not doing—to inflation has major implications for the Federal Reserve, which is trying to balance both sides of its dual mandate. Tariffs have kept inflation stubbornly above the Fed's 2% target, causing policymakers to hold off on rate cuts. But weakness in jobs data have raised alarms on employment, fueling demands for easing. 'The evidence so far is that almost all of the costs of tariffs are being born by domestic firms,' Citi's Hollenhorst wrote. 'The lack of pass-through should reduce lingering Fed official inflation concerns and allow for a series of rate cuts beginning in September. If anything markets are underpricing the potential for faster and/or deeper cuts.'
