Shares of Bit Digital, Inc. (NASDAQ: BTBT) surged 20.40% in Tuesday's trading session, extending its impressive rally following the company's strategic shift to an all-Ethereum treasury. This latest jump comes after several days of significant gains, with the stock having risen nearly 75% over the past six trading sessions.

The cryptocurrency mining company recently announced a complete transition of its treasury from Bitcoin to Ethereum, leveraging a successful public equity raise of approximately $172 million. Bit Digital sold its entire Bitcoin holdings of 280 BTC and used the proceeds, along with the raised funds, to acquire a substantial position in Ethereum. As a result, Bit Digital now holds 100,603 ETH, valued at approximately $254.8 million, positioning itself as one of the largest Ethereum holders among public companies.

CEO Sam Tabar emphasized the company's conviction in Ethereum's long-term potential, stating, "Ethereum represents that next wave." He highlighted Ethereum's larger developer community compared to other blockchains and its role in driving real economic activity. "As stablecoin volume grows, as tokenization becomes a thing, the fees generated by that activity flows back to ETH holders," Tabar explained, underlining the potential for value creation that Bitcoin doesn't participate in.

The market's enthusiastic response to Bit Digital's strategic shift reflects growing investor confidence in Ethereum as a reserve asset for public companies. While other crypto-related stocks also saw gains in Tuesday's trading, Bit Digital's surge was particularly notable. As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, Bit Digital's move could potentially inspire other firms to consider similar strategies, further driving demand for Ethereum and related stocks in the sector.
