BITF Bitfarms Ltd

Bitfarms Ltd. (NASDAQ/ TSX: BITF), a global vertically integrated Bitcoin mining company, provides its monthly production report and update on its fleet upgrade and expansion.

In May, Bitfarms secured an additional 100 MW at its Yguazu site through an amendment to the existing 100 MW Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Paraguay state-owned utility, ANDE. This amendment doubles capacity at this site to 200 MW with scheduled deployment for the additional 100 MW in 2025. This sustainable hydropower will be provided at the same contractual low cost of approximately 3.9 cents per kWh, before VAT, with the added benefit of not being subject to annual inflationary adjustments. This expansion has the potential to add an additional 6 EHs in 2025 if filled with S21 Pro miners.

Damian Polla, General Manager of LATAM, stated, “Building upon our construction progress at our existing sites and track record in the country, this addition allows us to take further advantage of the cost efficiencies and rapid construction timelines we have in Paraguay. Importantly, these megawatts were secured directly though ANDE with no direct acquisition costs. With 270 MW of infrastructure expansion from our new Paso Pe and Yguazu farms, Paraguay is the fastest growing region in our portfolio.”

Jeff Lucas, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “In addition, we received $17 million of the $24 million VAT refund from Quebec, with the remaining $6 million expected in the next few weeks. This VAT refundability reduces our Canadian power costs by 15% and provides substantial funds to support our ongoing growth with sufficient liquidity to pay for all the miners needed to reach 21 EH/s this year.”

Fleet Upgrade Review

“Our fleet upgrade is progressing at a rapid pace. Year-to-date we have received 25,600 miners and installed 23,600 miners, with the remaining 16,200 miners in route. Together, these miners provide sufficient hashing power to achieve 12 EH/s in June,” said Ben Gagnon, Chief Mining Officer. “In May, we completed two farm upgrades at Cowansville and Bunker and filled three of five buildings in Paso Pe with new miners. This increased our installed hashrate to 9.5 EH/s, with approximately 7.5 EH/s currently operating, and improved our corporate energy efficiency by 31% year-over-year and 13% from last month, to 27 w/TH. Nearly 2 of 3 EH/s are installed at our Paso Pe site but not yet energized pending final testing by ANDE and substation engineering work which is scheduled to be completed in June. Upgrades at Leger are underway and are scheduled to be completed in June along with farm upgrades at St Hyacinthe and Baie Comeau.”

Mining Review

During May, in response to unusually cold temperatures in Argentina, Bitfarms curtailed operations for 8 days in Rio Cuarto amidst a temporary demand spike for natural gas during the harshest winter in 44 years. Mining operations at Rio Cuarto resumed on May 31st.

ANDE began their final Power up Protocol testing in Paso Pe, and we expect to have the full 70 MW energized in June.

May mining operations generated 156 BTC compared to 269 BTC in April, reflecting the first full month of reduced block rewards, the result of the April Halving event. Additionally, curtailment in Argentina and downtime, associated with upgrading miners, reduced total production which was partially offset by a 4.2% decrease in network difficulty compared to April.
