Business Updates

  • Financial Results Highlight Revenue Growth and Margin Compression: In Q1 2025, Bitfarms Ltd. (Nasdaq/TSX: BITF) reported total revenue of USD 67 million, marking a 33% year-over-year increase. Despite the revenue growth, gross mining margin declined to 43% from 63% in Q1 2024, reflecting increased production costs. Adjusted EBITDA came in at USD 16 million, or 23% of revenue, compared to USD 23 million, or 46% of revenue, in the prior year period. The company recorded an operating loss of USD 32 million and a net loss of USD 36 million, or USD 0.07 per basic and diluted share, versus a net loss of USD 6 million, or USD 0.02 per share, in Q1 2024. General and administrative expenses rose to USD 20 million, including USD 2 million in non-recurring transaction-related costs.
  • Operational Efficiency and Mining Metrics Show Significant Improvement: Bitfarms’ mining performance improved markedly during the quarter, with its operating hashrate reaching 19.5 EH/s as of March 31, 2025—an increase of 200% from 6.5 EH/s a year earlier. Mining efficiency also improved to 19 watts per terahash (w/TH), a 44% increase from 34 w/TH. The company earned 693 BTC during the quarter at an average direct cost of USD 47,800 per BTC and a total cash cost of USD 72,300 per BTC. Operating capacity expanded to 461 MW, up from 240 MW in Q1 2024. These gains position the mining business as a low-capex, free cash flow-generating foundation for Bitfarms’ future expansion.
  • Strategic Shift to the U.S. and High-Performance Computing: Bitfarms executed key strategic moves in line with its shift toward the U.S. and high-performance computing (HPC). The company sold its 200 MW Yguazu data center in Paraguay to HIVE Digital Technologies and completed the acquisition of Stronghold Digital Mining, Inc., securing two high-potential Pennsylvania campuses. These actions significantly lowered Bitcoin mining capex and bolstered liquidity. Bitfarms also completed feasibility assessments for all U.S. sites, with development advancing through partnerships with ASG and World Wide Technology.
  • Macquarie Financing Validates HPC Strategy: In April 2025, Bitfarms announced a private debt facility of up to USD 300 million with a division of Macquarie Group to support the initial development of its Panther Creek HPC campus. CEO Ben Gagnon emphasized that Panther Creek offers ideal conditions for HPC operations, including favorable scale, power availability, and connectivity. The financing is intended to minimize shareholder dilution while enabling timely construction. CFO Jeff Lucas noted that Macquarie’s involvement brings significant expertise and affirms the company’s strategy to scale its HPC footprint in the U.S.
  • Liquidity Position and Bitcoin Market Operations: As of May 13, 2025, Bitfarms reported a liquidity position of approximately USD 150 million. During Q1 2025, the company sold 428 BTC for USD 37 million and, in April 2025, sold an additional 350 BTC, generating USD 30 million. These proceeds supported capital expenditures and operations under the company’s Bitcoin One market program. Bitfarms also raised USD 24 million through its at-the-market equity offering in January 2025 but did not issue additional shares through the program from late January to mid-May.
  • Leadership and Organizational Developments Strengthen HPC Ambitions: Bitfarms enhanced its leadership team to support the strategic pivot, appointing James Bond as SVP of HPC/AI and Craig Hibbard as SVP of Infrastructure. These internal and external hires, combined with ongoing infrastructure and feasibility planning, demonstrate the company's commitment to building a competitive HPC and AI data center business in North America. Bitfarms believes its transformed energy portfolio and strengthened financial foundation position it well to capitalize on growth opportunities in both Bitcoin mining and HPC development.
