Related-party transactions

WhiteFiber AI’s subsidiary, WhiteFiber Iceland ehf, appointed Daniel Jonsson as its part-time Chief Executive Officer starting November 7, 2023, for a six-month term with a three-month probation. After the initial period, the employment shall be automatically renewed for successive period(s) of 6 months each, unless agreed otherwise in writing or unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the employment agreement. His compensation includes a monthly salary of $8 thousand, a $6 thousand signing bonus, and eligibility for performance-based RSUs. Prior to February 2026, Daniel Jonsson is part of the management team at GreenBlocks ehf which not only provided bitcoin mining hosting services, but also benefited from a facility loan agreement extended by Bit Digital USA Inc., an affiliate of WhiteFiber Iceland ehf. In February 2026, the commercial relationship between Bit Digital USA Inc. and GreenBlocks ehf was terminated. Nonetheless, WhiteFiber Iceland ehf continues to engage GreenBlocks ehf under contract for consulting services pertaining to our high performance computing services in Iceland.

Bit Digital made a payment of $1 million on behalf of WhiteFiber Iceland ehf, when WhiteFiber Iceland ehf entered into a simple agreement for future equity (“SAFE”) agreement for an initial investment amount of $1 million in exchange for a right to participate in a future equity financing of preferred stock to be issued by Canopy Wave Inc. (“Canopy”). By the end of the third quarter of 2024, we had settled this outstanding amount with Bit Digital.

In August 2025, the Company entered into a Professional Services Agreement (“PSA”) with Pruitt Hall, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, pursuant to which he provides consulting services in connection with the construction of the NC-1 facility. Under the PSA, the Company pays consulting fees ranging from $162 to $312 per hour, depending on the level of consultant involved, subject to a minimum of four hours, plus travel expenses, for the time spent on-site. The PSA may be terminated by either party upon thirty days prior written notice. There were consulting services provided under the PSA during the six months ended June 30, 2026 totaling $0.1 million. On July 30, 2026, the PSA was terminated.

Corporate Restructuring and Capital Contributions

Prior to the consummation of the Offering, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with Bit Digital, pursuant to which Bit Digital contributed its HPC business through the transfer of 100% of the capital shares of its cloud services subsidiary, WhiteFiber AI, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries WhiteFiber HPC, Inc., WhiteFiber Canada, Inc., WhiteFiber Japan G.K. and WhiteFiber Iceland, ehf, to WhiteFiber in exchange for 27,043,749 ordinary shares of WhiteFiber. The Contribution became effective on August 6, 2025, when the Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC.

On August 8, 2025, WhiteFiber completed its initial public offering (the “Offering”) of 9,375,000 ordinary shares, at a public offering price of $17.00 per share. The initial gross proceeds to WhiteFiber from the Offering were $159.4 million before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by WhiteFiber. Prior to the consummation of the Offering, Bit Digital held all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of WhiteFiber. On September 2, 2025, the Underwriters fully exercised their option to purchase an additional 1,406,250 ordinary shares, resulting in additional gross proceeds to WhiteFiber of $23.9 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by WhiteFiber. After giving effect to the Offering, and the Underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, Bit Digital held approximately 71.5% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of WhiteFiber. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, Bit Digital owns approximately 69.6% of WhiteFiber.

Transition Services Agreement post-IPO

In addition, prior to the consummation of the Offering, Bit Digital entered into the Transition Services Agreement with WhiteFiber, pursuant to which Bit Digital will provide certain services to WhiteFiber, on a transitional basis which will generally be up to 24 months following the effective date of the Registration Statement. The Transition Services Agreement provides for the performance of certain services by Bit Digital for the benefit of WhiteFiber, or in some cases certain services provided by WhiteFiber for the benefit of Bit Digital, for a limited period of time after the Offering, including certain services provided by Sam Tabar, our Chief Executive Officer, and Erke Huang, our Chief Financial Officer and a Director. During such transition period, Messrs. Tabar and Huang will continue to hold the same position with Bit Digital as well as WhiteFiber. Messrs. Tabar and Huang have committed to provide the requisite time and effort to fulfill their responsibilities as a full-time officer of WhiteFiber, supervising a full staff and are expected to provide certain services, representing not more than approximately 30% of their working time, in respect of Bit Digital’s operations. As of August 1, 2026, Mr. Zhu was named as the Chief Financial Officer of WhiteFiber as Mr. Huang has relinquished his position and is only serving as Chief Financial Officer of Bit Digital. The services to be provided will include financial reporting, tax, legal, human resources, information technology and other general and administrative functions. All services are to be provided at cost, except if otherwise agreed to. Following the IPO, related intercompany balances are expected to be settled in cash or reflected as payable arrangement, rather than the historical parent investment treatment used before the IPO. For the three and six months ended June, 30, 2026, the fees for these services were $0.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, the fees payable by WhiteFiber to Bit Digital are $5.5 million.

Allocation of pre-IPO corporate expenses

Prior to the IPO, Bit Digital provided certain corporate support services to WhiteFiber, including finance, tax, investor relations, and marketing, but did not historically charge the WhiteFiber entities for those services. Bit Digital allocated a portion of Bit Digital’s general corporate expenses to WhiteFiber to reflect the costs of services that benefited WhiteFiber during the periods presented in the financial statements up to the date of the IPO. For the six months ended June, 30, 2025, the Company was allocated $2.8 million for these corporate services. These expenses were allocated to the Company on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of percent of revenue or other allocation methodologies that are considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of the services provided relative to the benefits received. Management does not believe, however, that it is practicable to estimate what these expenses would have been had the Company operated as an independent entity, including any expenses associated with obtaining any of these services from unaffiliated entities. The pre-IPO allocated expenses were not expected to be settled in cash and were therefore treated as forgiven by Bit Digital and recorded within Parent company net investment.

Following the IPO, WhiteFiber became a separate public company, and certain services continued to be provided by Bit Digital only on a temporary basis under the Transition Services Agreement. Accordingly, the post-IPO treatment should reflect the actual services provided under that agreement. For further details, refer to “Transition Services Agreement post-IPO”.
