Bitfarms Ltd. (Nasdaq/TSX: BITF), a global vertically integrated
Bitcoin data center company, reported its financial results for the
third quarter ended September 30, 2024. All financial
references are in U.S. dollars.
During the quarter, Bitfarms continued to
execute its transformational fleet upgrade and executed upon its
strategic rebalancing and expansion of its operations in the
U.S.
To that end, Bitfarms announced its acquisition
of Stronghold Digital Mining, Inc. (Nasdaq: SDIG) ("Stronghold"),
which is expected to put Bitfarms on track to increase its energy
portfolio to over 950 MW by year-end 2025 with potential for
multi-year expansion capacity of up to 1.6 GW. This represents a
significant shift of Bitfarms' portfolio towards the U.S., which
will come to represent approximately 66% of the Company's total
portfolio, an eleven-fold increase from 6% operating power in the
U.S. today. Bitfarms has already begun maximizing the utility of
the Stronghold sites with two consecutive hosting agreements
totaling 20,000 miners, signed in September and October, supporting
approximately 4 EH/s. Upon close of the Stronghold acquisition,
these hosting agreements will revert to self-mining operations.
The Company continues to make progress on its
fleet upgrade program, deploying 5,400 additional miners during the
quarter and achieving its efficiency target of 21 w/TH three months
ahead of schedule. This efficiency represents a 40% improvement
year-to-date, reducing direct operating costs per terahash and
improving gross margins.
In addition, Bitfarms will be upgrading the
remaining 18,853 T21 miners to be delivered by Bitmain as part of
Bitfarms’ fleet upgrade program announced last year. Under the
agreement, Bitfarms will be installing more powerful and efficient
S21 Pro miners, operating at 234 TH/s and 15 w/TH, which represents
more than a 20% improvement from the T21 miners in both energy
efficiency and hashrate.
During the quarter, Bitfarms took significant
steps to strengthen its leadership team with new hires and a new
management structure, providing greater scalability and
accountability in data center development and operations, and
laying the foundation for the establishment of HPC/AI operations.
Bitfarms also strengthened its corporate governance with the
appointment of two new directors and the appointment of the former
Lead Director to Independent Chairman. The Bitfarms Board of
Directors now consists of five members, four of whom are
independent. The Company will hold a Special Meeting on November
20th to vote on an expansion of the Board from five to six members,
the nomination of Andrew J. Chang to the Board, and the
ratification of the Company’s Shareholder Rights Plan.
In line with its strategy to diversify beyond
Bitcoin mining and maximize the value of its power assets, Bitfarms
has selected two U.S. sites for a one to two MW HPC/AI pilot site.
While still early stages, the land and power are secured at both
sites, with active conversations taking place with potential
partners and suppliers to discuss potential accelerated deployment
in 2025. The Company is currently in the process of finalizing
terms, plans and budgets as the first step in executing a
comprehensive long-term HPC/AI strategy.
CFO Jeff Lucas concluded, “Despite third quarter
headwinds of record low hashprices for the Bitcoin mining industry,
a 62% year-over-year increase in network difficulty, and the first
full quarter following the April Halving Event, our mining
operations remained profitable and continued to drive free cash
flow. While we achieved our year-end efficiency target of 21 w/TH
in the third quarter, shipping delays and continued miner servicing
of our Bitmain T21s impacted our ability to reach 21 EH/s in 2024.
We are working closely with Bitmain on warranty servicing and miner
upgrades and expect to reach 21 EH/s in the first half of
2025.”
“As previously communicated, 2024 has been a
transformative year for Bitfarms,” stated CEO Ben Gagnon.
“Year-to-date, we’ve refreshed nearly our entire fleet of miners,
significantly improving our mining economics, acquired one new site
and entered agreements to acquire two additional new sites in the
U.S., and completely revamped our operational and Board structure,
strengthening our leadership and corporate governance. We are now
uniquely positioned with a strategic pipeline of over 950 MW in
2025 with nearly half a gigawatt of power infrastructure
unallocated with miners. This represents a massive, secured, and
cost-effective near-term growth opportunity with the flexibility
necessary to maximize shareholder value as we approach the
anticipated 2025 Bitcoin bull cycle.”

Non-IFRS Measures*As a Canadian
company, Bitfarms follows International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) which are issued by the International Accounting
Standard Board (IASB). Under IFRS rules, the Company does not
reflect the revaluation gains on the mark-to-market of its Bitcoin
holdings in its income statement. It also does not include the
revaluation losses on the mark-to-market of its Bitcoin holdings in
Adjusted EBITDA, which is a measure of the cash profitability of
its operations and does not reflect the change in value of its
assets and liabilities.
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure its
operating activities' financial performance and cash generating
capability.
2023 Restatement During the
preparation of the Company's financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2023, the Company reassessed the application of
IFRS Accounting Standards on the accounting for warrants issued in

year ended December 31, 2023, and Note 3d of the interim condensed
consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2024, available on SEDAR+ and EDGAR. As
described in the interim MD&A for three and nine months ended
September 30, 2024, available on SEDAR+ and EDGAR, the Company
is undertaking remediation efforts in light of the Restatement and
in order to improve the overall effectiveness of its internal
