Bitfarms Ltd. (NASDAQ/TSX: BITF), a global vertically integrated
Bitcoin mining company, exercised its previously announced purchase
option for 28,000 Bitmain T21 miners and also purchased an
additional 19,280 Bitmain T21 miners for US$14/TH, 3,888 Bitmain
S21 miners and 740 Bitmain S21 hydro miners for
US$17.50/TH.
“With Bitcoin achieving new all-time high prices
and having already confirmed the tremendous performance from our
T21 miners currently running, Bitfarms acted quickly to secure
additional T21 and S21 miners before anticipated hardware price
increases. These miners are scheduled to be delivered in 2024, we
believe they are sufficient to reach 21 EH/s in 2024 without a
redeployment of our older miners, which we intend to liquidate to
help offset the cost of new miners,” said Geoff Morphy, President
and CEO of Bitfarms.
“These orders solidify our expansion plan for
2024 and provide the pathway to operating one of the newest and
potentially most powerful mining fleets in the industry leading
into what looks to be a promising bull market. Securing these
miners now is a key part of our strategy to drive rapid and
meaningful improvements across our three key operating metrics of
hashrate, energy efficiency and operating costs per terahash with a
plan to capture greater upside from rising Bitcoin prices with
rapidly expanding mining margins,” Morphy concludes.
