Company business model (related to cryptocurrency) Bitfarms' core business revolves around Bitcoin mining, while exploring diversified development: Bitcoin Mining: Efficient mining using self-built mining farms (such as in Quebec, Canada, and Pennsylvania, USA) and project acquisitions (such as Stronghold Digital Mining), leveraging low-cost hydroelectric resources. As of January 2025, its operational hash rate reaches 15.2 EH/s, with an average daily output of approximately 6.5 BTC. Energy and Infrastructure: With a power engineering team, we build our own transmission lines and substations to ensure stable power supply for the mines. Some mines have begun to transition to high-performance computing (HPC/AI), such as the Panther Creek data center developed in collaboration with Macquarie Group (with a potential capacity of nearly 500 MW). Asset optimization: By selling high-cost assets (such as the 200 MW Yguazu mine in Paraguay) to recoup funds, focus on the North American market to reduce operating costs.

Company Profit Model (Cryptocurrency Related) Bitcoin Sales: The main source of income comes from selling mined bitcoins in the market for profit. In January 2025, selling 75 BTC generated 6.5 million dollars, and after selling part of the reserves in February, the holdings increased to 1,260 BTC (worth approximately 105.8 million dollars). Computing power services: Renting out mining machine computing power to mining pools, sharing profits based on the FPPS (Full Pay Per Share) model. In Q3 2024, the revenue from this business increased by 36.55% year-on-year to 137 million USD. Asset trading: Optimize financial structure and reduce capital expenditure by selling mining assets (such as the Yguazu project valued at 85 million USD) and debt restructuring (such as debt relief with BlockFi).

The role and significance of the profit model Bitcoin sales: Directly rely on BTC price fluctuations, but hedge short-term price risks by holding a portion of reserves for the long term (such as a reserve of 1,260 BTC in February 2025), while reducing production costs through power optimization (the direct cost per BTC in Q2 2025 is approximately $30,600). Computing power services: Provide stable cash flow, reduce reliance on Bitcoin price, and the data authorization revenue in 2024 increased by 547% year-on-year. Asset optimization: By selling non-core assets and restructuring debt, reduce the debt ratio and focus on high-growth areas (such as the US PJM energy market) to reserve funds for HPC/AI transformation.

Affected cryptocurrencies and methods Bitcoin ( BTC ): As the main mining target, Bitfarms' hash power investment directly affects the block production speed and network security of BTC. An increase in its hash power share may intensify mining competition, indirectly raising the overall network difficulty. For example, in January 2025, hash power grew 19% to 15.2 EH/s, resulting in a 5% decrease in BTC production for that month. Other cryptocurrencies: Currently, we have not ventured into mining other cryptocurrencies, and our business focus remains on the BTC ecosystem.
