of Form&nbsp;20-F</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">BIT Mining Limited (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;)
reports that it has filed a Form&nbsp;12b-25 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April&nbsp;30, 2024 for late filing of
its annual report on Form&nbsp;20-F for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2023 (the &ldquo;2023 Annual Report&rdquo;). Absent the
Form&nbsp;12b-25, the 2023 Annual Report was due to be filed by April&nbsp;30, 2024.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">On December&nbsp;31, 2019, the Company announced
the formation of a special investigation committee, consisting of the independent members of the Company&rsquo;s board of directors, to
internally investigate (i)&nbsp;alleged illegal money transfers made in connection with the potential development of an integrated casino
resort project in Japan and (ii)&nbsp;the previous arrests that were made by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office. The prosecutions
resulted in the conviction of government officials and former intermediaries, including an external consultant of the Company who also
formerly served as a director of our subsidiary in Japan. The Company has been cooperating with the U.S. Department of Justice (the &ldquo;DOJ&rdquo;)
and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the &ldquo;SEC&rdquo;) in connection with their investigations into the Company. The
Company has been in separate discussions with the Staff of the SEC&rsquo;s Division of Enforcement and the DOJ regarding potential resolutions
to settle these matters. Any potential resolution of these matters would involve payment of monetary penalties (the &ldquo;Penalty Amounts&rdquo;)
in amounts that are likely to be significant and would be subject to approval by the SEC Commissioners for any proposed SEC settlement
and the DOJ for any proposed DOJ resolution.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">As of today, the combined Penalty Amounts are still
in the process of being finalized considering the Company&rsquo;s ability to pay those combined Penalty Amounts under its current financial
condition. Accordingly, the Company currently is unable to conclude what impact the combined Penalty Amounts may have on the Company&rsquo;s
financial statements for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2023 (the &ldquo;2023 Financial Statements&rdquo;) to be included in its 2023
Annual Report.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The Company expects to file the 2023 Annual Report
once (i)&nbsp;a reasonable assessment has been made about the impact of the combined Penalty Amounts on the 2023 Financial Statements,
(ii)&nbsp;an appropriate amount for the combined Penalty Amounts has been accrued for on the 2023 Financial Statements, (iii)&nbsp;the
2023 Financial Statements have been finalized, and (iv)&nbsp;MaloneBailey, LLP, the Company&rsquo;s independent registered public accounting
firm, has completed its audit of the 2023 Financial Statements.</P>

statements within the meaning of Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, both as amended by the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words &ldquo;expects&rdquo; and &ldquo;intends&rdquo;

Company&rsquo;s forward-looking statements include, among other things, the time needed for the Company to finalize and file its 2023
Annual Report. Unless required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.</P>
