In order to bolster its working cash and develop its infrastructure for mining Bitcoin, Bitfarms has announced a $44 million private placement with American investors.
In an effort to raise about $44 million ($60 million CAD), Canadian Bitcoin mining business Bitfarms Ltd. has entered into a private placement agreement with institutional investors in the United States.
This strategic agreement, scheduled to close around November 28, involves the issuance of warrants to purchase additional shares in addition to more than 44 million common shares for 99 cents apiece.
As stated by Bitfarms, the money raised from this private placement will be used to support the company’s operating capital and important expansion plans, including buying new mining equipment and building out infrastructure.
Bitfarms, established in 2017, provides processing power to different mining pools. The company prioritizes environmentally friendly and sustainable operations while operating 11 mining farms in Argentina, Paraguay, the United States, and Canada.
Long-term power contracts and hydroelectric energy provide the majority of the energy for their operations. The company is dedicated to utilizing locally generated, sustainable, and frequently underutilized energy resources.
The recent months have seen a rise in bitcoin mining activity, mainly because of the impending halving event in 2024. Recently, several miners have closed significant investment and collaboration agreements. Earlier this week, the difficulty of mining Bitcoin reached all-time highs, and the hash price dropped below $80.7 per day.
