BlockBeats News, July 26th. According to SEC filings, the U.S. publicly traded company Bit Digital (BTBT) disclosed that a significant shareholder meeting is scheduled for September 10, 2025, at 9:00 AM at the company's main office address (11th floor, 31 Hudson Yards, New York, New York, USA), with an option for online streaming. Shareholders can attend the meeting in person or participate via online streaming to exercise their voting rights and submit questions during the meeting.
