Shares of Big Digital Energy Inc. surged 23.45% to $7.37 on Monday following the announcement of a major colocation agreement.[1][2] The Nasdaq-listed company, which operates digital infrastructure for high-performance computing and mining, will provide about 75 megawatts of capacity for roughly 25,000 mining computers. This related-party transaction underscores management’s push to activate underused assets without new capital outlays.
Key Elements of the Agreement
The pact involves an affiliate of the Endeavor Group, linked to company executives who hold 29% of Big Digital’s common stock.[1] Endeavor will supply the mining hardware, while Big Digital hosts it across its existing sites. Deployment begins soon, tapping into the firm’s current infrastructure footprint of 129 megawatts already online.
Under the terms, the parties share profits 50-50. Big Digital collects all cash proceeds from the miners, with Endeavor receiving compensation through shares and warrants valued at the equipment’s market price and a volume-weighted stock average.[3] Independent audit committee members approved the deal unanimously, after interested directors recused themselves.
No-Cost Revenue Boost for Big Digital
Executives highlighted the arrangement’s efficiency. “This agreement demonstrates how the new management team at Big Digital is aggressively working to unearth new revenue streams and maximize the utility of our assets,” said CEO Phil Stanley.[1] The structure requires no upfront investment or added liabilities from Big Digital, positioning it to generate immediate free cash flow.
Joshua Kilgore, executive chairman, added that the deal enhances cash flows rapidly while offering Endeavor upside only if shares rise substantially. Proceeds will fund asset improvements and expansion. This fits the company’s shift toward AI, high-performance computing, and digital assets, powered largely by carbon-free sources like nuclear energy.[1]
Preliminary 2025 figures showed $39.8 million in revenue against a $23.8 million net loss, with recent lawsuit settlements trimming $19 million in liabilities.
Recent Rebranding and Corporate Overhaul
Big Digital Energy emerged from a rebrand of Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc., effective April 24, with its ticker shifting to BGDE on April 30.[1] The change followed a cooperation pact with Endeavor investors, leading to a reconstituted board and new leadership, including Stanley as CEO and Kilgore as chairman.
The firm designs and runs platforms for compute-intensive applications. It self-mines Bitcoin and hosts clients, emphasizing sustainable energy. Amid Nasdaq listing concerns, the company affirmed compliance in key areas and plans a hearing to address issues.[2]

Investor Response Signals Optimism
The stock reaction marked a strong endorsement. Volume reached 333,522 shares, below the 20-day average but enough to drive the gain from $5.97.[1] Year-to-date, shares climbed 75%, reflecting turnaround momentum from board changes and prior updates.
Trading below the 200-day moving average of $8.40, the stock remains well off its 52-week high but far above the low. Peers showed mixed results, highlighting Big Digital’s standout performance on the news.[3]
As deployment ramps up, the deal could stabilize cash flows and pave the way for further partnerships. Investors now watch how this capital-light strategy accelerates growth in a competitive digital infrastructure landscape.
