Following its recent expansion into Argentina, Bitfarms (NASDAQ/TSX: BITF), a global, award-winning, vertically integrated Bitcoin mining operation, is proud to celebrate the Company’s five-year anniversary.

“We feel that the launch of Bitfarms was a remarkable inflection point for the industry,” said Emiliano Grodzki, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Bitfarms. “Built on a vision that the rapid growth of global crypto asset demand would require a more thoughtful and sustainable mining partner. Five years into our mission, we see the shape of things to come and know the road ahead is very bright.”

Since beginning operations in 2017, Bitfarms has quickly emerged as one of the world’s most productive Bitcoin miners, exiting September 2022 at 17 BTC per day. During the past five years, the Company has grown from operating two farms in Canada with 14 megawatts (MW) of capacity to ten mining facilities across four countries: Argentina, Canada, Paraguay, and the United States. As of September 30, 2022, Bitfarms achieved operating capacity of 176MW, a hashrate of 4.2 exahash/second (EH/s), and approximately 2% market share of the Bitcoin network.

“The bitcoin mining industry has faced so much change and uncertainty during the past five years, but at the same time, it has created so much opportunity for Bitfarms. We are delighted at just how much we have been able to achieve,” said Geoff Morphy, President and COO of Bitfarms. “We have built a world class team – from the engineers and electricians who service our sites to the innovative leaders and global operations professionals who manage our business. Ours is a team of talented and committed professionals whose hard work and dedication will drive us toward an even more successful future.”

An Eye Toward the Future
