Bitcoin Earnings Decline and Market Adaptation

In May, Bitfarms recorded a significant 42% decrease in Bitcoin earnings in comparison to April, acquiring 156 BTC. This decline aligns with the company's adjustment phase following the halving event, which also led to a 45% reduction in BTC per average EH/s.

The initial month post-Bitcoin halving presented challenges, resulting in a drop in daily earnings to around $340,000 from cryptocurrency mining.

Response to Market Dynamics

Despite the impact on revenue, Bitfarms remains focused on strengthening its operational capacities. Ben Gagnon, the Chief Mining Officer, announced the integration of 25,600 miners this year, with 23,600 already operational.

This expansion aims to raise their hashing power to 12 EH/s by June, highlighting the company's dedication to expansion amidst market uncertainties.

Furthermore, Bitfarms recently declined an acquisition proposition from Riot Platforms, valued close to $1 billion. This move follows Bitfarms' shares experiencing a 4% rise to $2.33, despite an 18% decline year-to-date.

Riot Platforms has now secured a 9.25% ownership stake, becoming the primary shareholder of Bitfarms. The mining industry closely observes this development, anticipating potential industry consolidation.

The sector remains attentive to these advancements as they could influence financial and operational approaches across the broader mining field.
