One of the largest Canadian Bitcoin miners, Bitfarms mines Bitcoin using state-of-the-art data centers powered in part by hydroelectricity and locally sourced natural gas. With 12 operating data centers and a hash rate of 11.3 EH/s, it produces an average of 8.2 bitcoin per day.

Bitfarm's Q2 financial report released on August 8 highlights revenues of C$42 million, down 16 percent over the previous quarter and up 17 percent year-over-year. The company has "made significant progress expanding its geographically diversified portfolio, adding 220 MW of capacity in Paraguay and Pennsylvania," according to the press release. Later in August, Bitfarms announced a definitive merger agreement to acquire crypto asset management firm Stronghold Digital Mining (NASDAQ:SDIG).

In May 2024, after acquiring shares in Bitfarms, Bitcoin miner Riot Platforms submitted an unsolicited proposal to acquire all outstanding Bitfarms shares, which was rejected by the company’s board of directors. Riot then went public with its offer and launched a proxy fight, criticizing Bitfarm’s management and strategy. A shareholders meeting has been scheduled for November 6, 2024, to vote on Riot’s proposal.

However, on September 23, the two companies announced a settlement agreement. Under the terms of the settlement, former investment banker Amy Freedman was appointed to Bitfarm’s board of directors and Riot Platforms agreed to withdraw its requisition. The shareholders meeting may be delayed due to this event, but according to a press release it will take place no later than November 20.
