NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except data relating to number of PPE, shares, warrants, options and digital assets - unaudited) |
NOTE 1: | NATURE OF OPERATIONS |
Bitfarms Ltd. was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on October 11, 2018 and continued under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on August 27, 2021. The consolidated financial statements of the corporation comprise the accounts of Bitfarms Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Company” or “Bitfarms”). The common shares of the Company are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market and the Toronto Stock Exchange (Nasdaq/TSX: BITF). Its registered office is located at 110 Yonge Street, Suite 1601, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5C 1T4.
The activities of the Company are mainly comprised of selling its computational power used for hashing calculations for the purpose of cryptocurrency mining in multiple jurisdictions as described in Note 23 “Geographical Information”. The Company’s operations are currently located in Canada, the United States, Paraguay, and Argentina. Volta, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, assists the Company in building and maintaining its data centers and provides electrician services to both commercial and residential customers in Quebec, Canada.
Bitfarms primarily owns and operates data centers housing computers (referred to as “Miners”) designed for the purpose of validating transactions on the Bitcoin Blockchain (referred to as “Mining”). Bitfarms generally operates its Miners 24 hours per day to produce computational power used for hashing calculations (measured by hashrate) that Bitfarms sells to Mining pool operators under a formula-driven rate commonly known in the industry as Full Pay Per Share (“FPPS”). Under FPPS, Mining pool operators compensate Mining companies for their computational power used for hashing calculations, measured by hashrate, based on what the Mining pool operator would expect to generate in revenue for a given time period if there was no randomness involved. The fee paid by a Mining pool operator to Bitfarms for its computational power used for hashing calculations may be in cryptocurrency, U.S. dollars, or another currency. However, the fees are paid to the Company on a daily basis in BTC (as defined below). Bitfarms accumulates the cryptocurrency fees it receives or exchanges them for U.S. dollars through reputable and established cryptocurrency trading platforms.
As described in Note 5, the Company acquired Stronghold Digital Mining, Inc. (“Stronghold”) on March 14, 2025 (the “Stronghold Transaction”). Through the acquisition of Stronghold, the Company now owns and operates two refuse power generation facilities. The Company’s primary fuel source at these facilities is waste which is provided by various third parties. Waste tax credits are earned by the Company by utilizing refuse to generate electricity. The Company either consumes the energy internally to support computational activities related to hashing calculations or sells the energy it produces to the open market (the “Grid”).

Terms and definitions
In these financial statements, the terms below have the following definitions:
Term | Definition | |
1 | Backbone | Backbone Hosting Solutions Inc. |
2 | Volta | 9159-9290 Quebec Inc. |
3 | Backbone Argentina | Backbone Hosting Solutions SAU |
4 | Backbone Paraguay | Backbone Hosting Solutions Paraguay SA |
5 | Backbone Mining | Backbone Mining Solutions LLC |
6 | Backbone Yguazu | Zunz SA |
7 | BTC | Bitcoin |
8 | BVVE | Blockchain Verification and Validation Equipment (primarily Miners and mining-related equipment) |
9 | MW | Megawatt |
10 | CAD | Canadian dollars |
11 | USD | U.S. dollars |
12 | ARS | Argentine pesos |
NOTE 2: | LIQUIDITY |
Bitfarms is primarily engaged in the Bitcoin Mining industry, a highly volatile industry subject to significant inherent risk. Declines in the market prices of cryptocurrencies, an increase in the difficulty of BTC mining, delays in the delivery of Mining equipment, changes in the regulatory environment and adverse changes in other inherent risks can significantly and negatively impact the Company’s operations and cash flows and its ability to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations. Adverse changes to the factors mentioned above can impact the recoverability of the Company’s digital assets and property, plant and equipment (“PPE”), resulting in impairment losses being recorded.
The Company’s operating cash flows are expected to remain negative until the Company has another significant revenue stream as the proceeds from the BTC sold from its mining operations are classified within investing activities. The Company’s current operating budget and future estimated cash flows indicate that the Company will generate positive cash flow in excess of the Company’s cash commitments, which includes proceeds from the sale of digital assets, within the twelve-month period following the date these interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance (the “twelve-month period”). These analyses are based on BTC market factors including price, difficulty and network hashrate for the twelve-month period.
At current BTC prices, the Company’s existing cash resources and the proceeds from sales of its BTC treasury and BTC earned may not be sufficient to fund capital investments to fully support its growth objectives. If the proceeds from the sale of BTC are not sufficient, the Company would be required to raise additional funds from external sources to meet these requirements. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such additional funds on acceptable terms, if at all.
If the Company raises additional funds by issuing securities, existing shareholders’ ownership in the Company may be diluted. If the Company is unable to obtain financing, including by issuing securities, or if funds from operations and proceeds from sales of the Company’s BTC holdings are negatively impacted by the BTC price, or if the Company is in breach of its covenants, the Company may have difficulty meeting its payment obligations. On April 1, 2025, the Company secured a credit facility for up to $300,000 with Macquarie Equipment Capital, Inc. Refer to Note 26 for more details.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except data relating to number of PPE, shares, warrants, options and digital assets - unaudited) |
NOTE 3: | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION |
a. | Basis of preparation and measurement |
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements (“Financial Statements”) of the Company comprise the accounts of Bitfarms Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) on May 13, 2025.
These Financial Statements do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments and digital assets recorded at fair value, and assets held for sale measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
These Financial Statements have been prepared under the same accounting policies used in the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, except for the material new accounting policies added during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the new accounting standards issued and adopted by the Company which are described below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently by the Company’s entities and to all periods presented in these Financial Statements, unless otherwise indicated.
b. | Material new accounting policy information |
Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date at fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses.
The Company determines that it has acquired a business when the acquired set of activities and assets include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs.

NOTE 3: | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (Continued) |
b. | Material new accounting policy information (Continued) |
Warrants
The Company issues warrants which entitle the holder to buy the Company’s common shares at a predetermined exercise price within a certain time frame. The warrants may include a cashless exercise clause which would result in a variable number of shares being issued for a fixed price due to the unknown future price of the shares. The Company does not expect the warrants to be exercised on a cashless basis. Referred to as warrant liability, the Company records these warrants as a financial liability. Upon exercise, the Company records the exercised warrants at fair value immediately before settlement and records the gain or loss through the consolidated statements of profit or loss and comprehensive profit or loss. The Company subsequently measures the outstanding warrants at fair value at each reporting date and records the gain or loss through the consolidated statements of profit or loss and comprehensive profit or loss. Warrants issued which do not include a cashless exercise feature, referred to as equity warrants, are classified as equity instruments. Consideration received on the sale of a share and share purchase warrant is allocated using the fair value method.
Revenue recognition
Cryptocurrency Hosting Revenue
The Company has entered hosting contracts where it operates mining equipment on behalf of third parties within its facilities. Revenue from hosting contracts is measured as the Company meets its obligation of operating the hosted equipment over time. The Company receives proceeds net of commissions. Revenues are recorded at the gross amount and the commission expense is included in infrastructure costs.
Energy Revenue
The Company operates as a market participant through the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland (“PJM”) Interconnection, a Regional Transmission Organization (“RTO”) that coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity. The Company sells energy from its Panther Creek and Scrubgrass generating plants in the open market in the PJM RTO in the real-time, location marginal pricing market. Revenues from the sale of energy are earned as the energy is delivered as a series of distinct units that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer over time and are, therefore, accounted for as a distinct performance obligation. Revenue from the sale of energy is recognized over time as energy volumes are generated and delivered to the RTO (which is contemporaneous with generation), using the output method based on megawatt hours for measuring progress. The Company applies the “right to invoice” practical expedient in recognizing revenue from the sale of energy. Under this practical expedient, revenue from the sale of energy is recognized based on the invoiced amount which corresponds directly with the value provided to the customer for the Company’s performance obligation completed to date.
Reactive energy power is provided to maintain a continuous voltage level. Revenue from reactive power is recognized ratably over time as the Company stands ready to provide it if called upon by the PJM RTO.

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 clarify that financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized and derecognized at settlement date except for regular way purchases or sales of financial assets and financial liabilities meeting conditions for the new exception. The new exception permits companies to elect to derecognize certain financial liabilities settled via electronic payment systems earlier than the settlement date.
These amendments also provide guidelines to assess contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets, which apply to all contingent cash flows, including those arising from environmental, social, and governance (ESG)-linked features.
In addition, the amendments for investments in equity instruments reported at fair value through other comprehensive income require separately disclosing the fair value gain or loss for investments derecognized in the period and investments held. The amendments added disclosure requirements for financial instruments with contingent features that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows that do not relate directly to basic lending risks and costs.
Furthermore, the amendments to IFRS 9 clarify: i) the requirements to account for an extinguishment of a lessee’s lease liability that results in a gain or loss recognized in net income; and ii) the definition of the term “transaction price”.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new standards on the Company’s Financial Statements.
The following new standard has been issued and is applicable to the Company for its annual period beginning on January 1, 2027, with an earlier application permitted:
IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”)
On April 9, 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board issued IFRS 18, the new standard on presentation and disclosure in financial statements, which will replace IAS 1, with a focus on updates to the statement of profit or loss. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to:
● | The structure of the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals; |
● | Required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity’s financial statements (i.e., Management-defined performance measures); and |
● | Enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general. |
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new standards on the Company’s Financial Statements.

Restatement of comparative figures of the statement of cash flows
During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company changed the presentation of the statements of cash flows and determined that the proceeds from sale of digital assets, which is accounted for as an intangible asset under IAS 38, should be classified as investing activities rather than operating activities. Accordingly, the Company has restated the statement of cash flows for three months ended March 31, 2024.

NOTE 4: | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES |
The preparation of the Financial Statements requires Bitfarms’ management team (“Management”) to undertake judgments, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. These estimates and judgments are based on Management’s best knowledge of the relevant events and circumstances and actions the Company may take in the future. The actual results may differ from these assumptions and estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to assumptions and estimates are recognized in the period in which the assumption or estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The significant judgements made by Management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the audited annual consolidated financial statements for year ended December 31, 2024, except for the following:
Business Combinations
Significant business combinations require judgements and estimates to be made at the date of acquisition in relation to determining the relative fair value of the allocation of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets. The information necessary to measure the fair values as at the acquisition date requires Management to make certain judgements and estimates about future events, including but not limited to forecasted revenues, operating costs and capital expenditures, future digital currency prices and income tax rates.
NOTE 5: | BUSINESS COMBINATION |
On March 14, 2025 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Stronghold in a stock-for-stock merger transaction.

* The purchase price allocation for the acquisition reflects fair value estimates which are subject to change within the measurement period. The primary areas of purchase price allocation that are subject to change relate to the fair values of certain tangible assets, based on their condition. Measurement period adjustments that the Company determines to be material will be applied retrospectively to the period of acquisition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and, depending on the nature of the adjustments, other periods subsequent to the period of acquisition could also be affected.
** The fair value of the 59,866,852 shares issued as part of the consideration paid for Stronghold was based on the published share price on March 14, 2025 of $1.11 per share. Issuance costs of $196, which were directly attributable to the issuance of the shares, were netted against the deemed proceeds.
Total acquisition-related costs that were not directly attributable to the issue of shares amounted to $7,081, of which $1,571 were incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $5,510 were incurred during the year end December 31, 2024. These amounts were included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and comprehensive profit or loss.

Management considers the prices quoted on Coinbase Prime to be a level 1 input under IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement.
** A portion of the realized gain on disposition of digital assets and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on revaluation of digital assets is presented in other comprehensive income after reversing previously recorded revaluation loss on digital assets in the statement of profit or loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, a loss of $13,421, net of $4,864 of deferred income tax recovery, was presented in other comprehensive income (three months ended March 31, 2024: a gain of $17,433, net of $6,285 of deferred income tax expense).
*** Restricted digital assets comprises of i) 293 BTC for the BTC payment (“BTC Pledged”) to a third party as a deposit of Miners presented as restricted digital assets. As the Company has the right to redeem the BTC Pledged, the ability of the third party to control the asset is limited, and the BTC Pledged does not meet the definition of a sale. Refer to Note 9, 13 and 19 for more details; and ii) 60 BTC held by a financial institution in connection with BTC selling contracts. Refer to Note 9 for more details.
BTC Redemption Options and redemption obligation
A redemption obligation was recorded for the remaining BTC Redemption Options for which Miners have been shipped, reflecting the Company’s obligation to either redeem the BTC Pledged for cash or use the BTC Pledged for the purchase of the Miners. As of March 31, 2025, the redemption obligation amounted to $20,073, which represented the value of Miners delivered, for which BTC payments were made, and reduced by the value of the BTC redeemed.
No redemption obligation was recorded as of December 31, 2024, as the Miners ordered, for which the deposit payment in BTC was made, had not yet been shipped.

NOTE 9: | DERIVATIVE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES |
BTC option and selling contracts
Starting in the first quarter of 2023, the Company purchased BTC option contracts that gave it the right, but not the obligation, to sell digital assets at a fixed price. Option contracts are used to reduce the risk of BTC price volatility and reduce the variability of cash flows resulting from future sales of digital assets. The Company also entered into contracts and earned premiums by agreeing to sell BTC if the price reached specific targets. The Company did not apply hedge accounting to these contracts.
BTC Redemption Option
Starting November 2024, the Company entered into purchase orders of Miners with a supplier which allows the Company to pay for the Miners in cash, BTC or a combination of both. In the event that the Company elects to pay using BTC (BTC Pledged, as defined in Note 7) either full or partial, the Company has the option to redeem the BTC Pledged at the price originally pledged in four quarterly installments (“BTC Installments”) within 12 months after the redemption period starts. The redemption period starts when the Miners are shipped. If the Company elects not to redeem one of the BTC Installments, the Company forfeits the right to redeem the remaining BTC Installments. The right to redeem the BTC (“BTC Redemption Option”) meets the definition of an embedded derivative.
In November 2024, the Company paid for the Miners ordered using 351 BTC valued at $33,200, i.e. 351 BTC Pledged. On initial recognition, the Company recorded derivative assets of $1,349 with a corresponding reduction in long-term deposit and equipment prepayments as the Miners were not yet shipped. On January 30, 2025, the Company exercised its option to redeem the first installment of the BTC Pledged and redeemed 87 BTC for $8,308.
On March 12, 2025, an exchange agreement (“2025 Miners Swap Order”) was entered into to return 4,160 Bitmain T21 Miners. In consideration for the returned products, Bitmain provided the Company with a $9,484 credit. Simultaneously, the Company placed another purchase order for 3,660 Bitmain S21+ Miners at a purchase price of $11,858. The Company has the option to pay the net amount of $2,374 in cash or in BTC. On March 13, 2025, the Company paid the net $2,374 in BTC which can be redeemed on a quarterly basis, i.e. 29 BTC Pledged. On initial recognition, the Company recorded derivative assets of $393 with a corresponding reduction in long-term deposit and equipment prepayments as the Miners had not yet been shipped.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, as a result of the decline of the Company’s market capitalization and BTC prices, the Company performed evaluations of the recoverable amount of the assets for operating cryptocurrency mining facilities in Canada, United States, Argentina and Paraguay separately. The Company also observed an increase in gas prices which affects the Company’s cost of energy in Argentina. The recoverable amount for the Argentina cash generating unit (“CGU”) was calculated using the value in use model, which was determined to be lower than its carrying amount. Based on its calculation, the Company determined that an impairment loss should be recorded on its Argentina CGU in the amount of $15,910 during the first quarter of 2025.
Changes in the following assumptions would result in further impairment on the Argentina CGU as follows:
Increase in impairment loss | ||||
A decrease of 5% of revenue | 2,922 | |||
An increase of 5% in the discount rate | 1,955 | |||
An increase of 5% in energy prices | 1,351 |

NOTE 11: | IMPAIRMENT (Continued) |
The key assumptions used in the value in use calculation for the Argentina CGU were as follows:
Revenues* | Two optimistic and two pessimistic scenarios and one status quo scenario, each with an estimated future revenue per Terahash, were used to project revenues and associated cash flows from cryptocurrency mining. Management assigned probabilities to each scenario to calculate weighted average expected outcomes. | The weighted average daily revenue per Terahash used in the value in use calculation was $0.05/Terahash |
Discount rate and period | The discount rate reflects Management’s assumptions regarding the unit’s specific risk. The pre-tax discount rate used was estimated with some of the risk already being implicitly reflected through management’s allocation of probabilities to the various scenarios included in the revenue calculation. | The value in use of the CGU was determined based on the present value of the expected cash flows over a four-year period discounted at an annual pre-tax rate of 30% in varying scenarios |
Energy prices | Management estimated that energy prices for the duration of the forecasted years will be approximately: | $0.05 per kilowatt hour |
Terminal values | Management estimated the terminal value of the Miners included in the CGU for the purposes of the impairment testing to be derived from the Miners direct margin applied to the ending hashrate for a period of: | Approximately 1 year |
* Changes in BTC price and BTC network difficulty that can lead to changes in expected revenues were considered in the various scenarios listed above.
Refer to the discussion in Note 26 - Subsequent events (Argentina Operations), the outcome of which may result in further impairment in subsequent periods.

The carrying amounts of cash, trade receivables, other receivables, security deposits for energy, Refundable Hosting Deposits, other refundable deposits, receivable from disposal of business, trade payables and accrued liabilities, redemption obligations and long-term debt presented in the table above are a reasonable approximation of their fair value due to their short-term maturity or they are valued using the income approach valuation technique.
Warrant liabilities
Warrant liabilities related to the 2023 private placements are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss with the change in fair value recorded to Net financial income. The fair value measurement is categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, is a recurring measurement and is calculated using a Black-Scholes pricing model at each reporting date. Refer to Note 16 for more details.

NOTE 19: | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) |
a. | Measurement categories and fair value (Continued) |
Derivatives
The fair value of derivatives is categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and is presented under derivative assets and liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position. Their fair values are a recurring measurement. Refer to Note 9 for more details.
i. | BTC option and selling contracts (derivatives) |
Fair value of derivative financial instruments generally reflects the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay, taking into consideration the counterparty credit risk or the Company’s credit risk at each reporting date. The Company uses market data such as BTC option futures to estimate the fair value of option contracts at each reporting date.
ii. | BTC Redemption Option (embedded derivative) |
The purchase order agreements explained in Note 9 provide the Company with the option to redeem the BTC Pledged at a market price determined when the BTC was first pledged (“Agreed BTC Price”). The right to redeem the BTC Pledged meets the definition of an embedded derivative as the derivative that is embedded in the non-financial contract is not closely related to the host contract. Its fair value is determined using a combination of the Monte Carlo simulation model to simulate the future price of BTC using probability factors and the Black-Scholes Model to estimate the value of each BTC Redemption Option. At each reporting date, the fair value is determined by multiplying the number of redeemable BTC pledged by the present value of the difference between the Agreed BTC Price and the simulated spot price of BTC while considering the likelihood of exercising the quarterly installments, with the change in fair value recorded to Net financial income.

a. | Measurement categories and fair value (Continued) |
Refundable deposits
The refundable deposits are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (“EIR”) method and are classified as Level 2 according to the Company’s fair value hierarchy. Their fair values are a recurring measurement. The valuation technique used is the income approach (discounted future cash flows). Refer to Note 14 for more details.
i. | Refundable Hosting Deposits |
The Refundable Hosting Deposits are accounted for as financial assets and recorded at fair value on initial recognition based on the contractual right to receive only each refundable hosting deposit plus interest at the end of the term. Following the acquisition of Stronghold on March 14, 2025, the Panther Creek and the Scrubgrass Hosting Agreements were terminated, settling the Refundable Hosting Deposits.
ii. | Security deposits for energy |
Its EIR is 6% over an approximately three-year period. Following the disposal of the Yguazu Mining site, the deposits related to this project were derecognized.

The subsequent disposition of those marketable securities in exchange for ARS gave rise to a gain as the amount received in ARS exceeded the amount of ARS the Company would have received from a direct foreign currency exchange.

Contingent liability
In 2021, the Company imported Miners into Washington State, United States, that the vendor located in China claimed originated in Malaysia. In early 2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection challenged the origination of the Miners, asserting that the Miners were manufactured in China, and notified the Company of a potential assessment of a U.S. importation duty of 25%.
During the third quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2025, the Company submitted supporting documentation to U.S. Customs and Border Protection in defense of its position that the Miners were manufactured outside China and the associated custom duties in the amount of $9,424 do not apply. While the final outcome of this matter is uncertain at this time, Management has determined it is not probable that it will result in a future cash outflow for the Company and, as such, no provision was recorded as of March 31, 2025.

Lawsuits (Continued)
i. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) Matters
On November 19, 2021, Scrubgrass received a notice of breach from PJM Interconnection, LLC alleging that Scrubgrass breached Interconnection Service Agreement – No. 1795 (the “ISA”) by failing to provide advance notice to PJM Interconnection, LLC and Mid-Atlantic Interstate Transmission, LLC pursuant to ISA, Appendix 2, section 3, of modifications made to the Scrubgrass Plant. On May 11, 2022, the Division of Investigations of the FERC Office of Enforcement (“OE”) informed the Company that the OE was conducting a non-public preliminary investigation concerning Scrubgrass’ compliance with various aspects of the PJM tariff.
On January 30, 2025, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (the “Commission”) approved a Stipulation and Settlement Agreement between the OE and Scrubgrass (the “Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Scrubgrass agreed to: (a) disgorge to PJM $679 in capacity revenues received during the relevant period; (b) pay a civil penalty of $741 for a total, including (a), of $1,420 to the United States Treasury; and (c) provide compliance training to relevant personnel and compliance monitoring reports. Scrubgrass is to pay the settlement amount over a period of three years. In the first year, Scrubgrass is to pay a lump sum of $355, which Scrubgrass paid in February of 2025. In the second and third years, Scrubgrass shall make 8 payments of $133 on a calendar quarter basis. For a period of five years following the effective date of the Settlement Agreement, Scrubgrass is to provide annual compliance training focused primarily on the applicable tariff and related rules, regulations, and requirements applicable to operating generators, to all personnel whose job responsibilities relate to the generators’ participation in Commission jurisdictional markets. As of March 31, 2025, the settlement accrual was $1,065 and represents the 8 installment payments.
ii. Shareholder Securities Lawsuit
On April 14, 2022, Stronghold, and certain of its former directors, officers and underwriters were named in a putative class action complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Winter v. Stronghold Digital Mining, Case No. 1:22-cv-3088). On October 18, 2022, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, alleging that the Company made misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material facts in violation of Section 11 of the Securities Act, 15 U.S.C. §77k and Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 related to its initial public offering, and when subsequent disclosures were made regarding these operational issues when the Company announced its fourth quarter and full year 2021 financial results, the Company’s stock price fell, causing significant losses and damages.
On December 16, 2024, the District Court issued an Order granting Preliminary Approval of the Class Action Settlement, Approving Form and Manner of Notice, and Setting Date for Hearing on Final Approval of Settlement. The Company agreed to pay $4,750 in cash and 25 BTC. On January 15, 2025, $2,500 was covered by the Company’s insurance providers and Stronghold paid the remaining $2,250 into escrow. One BTC will be paid monthly for two years. The cash value of each Bitcoin is expected to be calculated monthly according to a price set by the Nasdaq Bitcoin reference price index. As of March 31, 2025, the settlement accrual was $1,816 and represents the value of the remaining 22 BTC to paid.

NOTE 26: | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
Credit Facility
On April 1, 2025, the Company signed a credit facility for up to $300,000 (the “Credit Facility”) with Macquarie Equipment Capital, Inc. (“Macquarie”). The initial draw for $50,000 (“Initial Tranche”) will be used for project development soft costs of the Panther Creek data center and other general corporate purposes. The remaining $250,000 (“Second Tranche”) will be drawable as the Company achieves specific development milestones at the Panther Creek location and secured at the project level at which time the Initial Tranche will be rolled into the project facility. The facility expires two years from the closing date and incurs an annual interest rate of 8%.
In connection with the Initial Tranche, Macquarie received warrants for the purchase of $5,000 in shares of the Company. Under the loan agreement, up to $125,000 having been drawn under the Second Tranche for the Panther Creek development, Macquarie will receive additional warrants equal to 10% of the amount drawn under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility for the Initial Tranche includes various covenants for the Company and its subsidiaries including restrictions on dispositions, dividends, the incurrence of debt and liens, material changes in the nature of its business, related party transactions and investments.
The Company is subject to financial and non-financial covenants. As of May 13, 2025, the Company was not in breach of any of its Credit Facility covenants.
Redemption options of BTC
On April 30, 2025, the Company exercised its option to redeem the second installment of the BTC Pledged in relation to the purchase of Miners under the March 2024 purchase order. The Company redeemed 87 BTC for $8,308. See Note 7 for more details.

Argentina Operations
On April 30 2025, the Company was informed that its electricity supplier at Rio Cuarto, Argentina, Generación Mediterránea S.A. (“GMSA”), appointed local and international financial advisors to conduct a process with their creditors regarding the restructuring of all its financial debt, but confirmed that the Company would be able to continue consuming power at the Rio Cuarto site. GMSA is currently negotiating with its commercial suppliers. On May 12, 2025, the Company was informed by GMSA that, effective immediately, they were halting the supply of electricity to the Company’s Rio Cuarto, Argentina facility until further notice. At this stage, there is uncertainty around the potential resumption of the supply of electricity and the timing thereof. This event has necessitated a pause in the Company’s cryptocurrency Mining activities in Argentina and, unless resolved, may significantly impact the operations in that country. The Company is evaluating all of its options for its Argentina operations. The impact of this subsequent event is considered a non-adjusting subsequent event and not factored into the Company’s impairment analysis discussed in Note 11.
Class Action Lawsuit
On May 9, 2025, a purported shareholder filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, in a case titled Olympio v. Bitfarms Ltd., Benjamin Gagnon, Jeffrey Lucas, and Geoff Morphy, case no 1:25-cv-02630, alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5, promulgated thereunder. The lawsuit alleges that the Company, its current CEO, its CFO and its former CEO made materially false and/or misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations and internal controls over financial reporting. The Plaintiff seeks class certification, unspecified damages plus interest and attorney and expert witness fees and other costs on behalf of a purported class consisting of all persons and entities (subject to specified exceptions) that purchased or otherwise acquired Company common stock from March 21, 2023 and December 9, 2024. The Company cannot predict the duration or outcome of this lawsuit at this time. As a result, the Company is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of reasonably possible loss arising from this lawsuit. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis |
(In U.S. dollars, except where otherwise indicated) |
Founded in 2017, Bitfarms (Nasdaq/TSX: BITF) is a global, publicly traded energy and compute infrastructure company. Bitfarms primarily operates vertically integrated Bitcoin data centers with primarily in-house management and company-owned electrical engineering, installation service, and multiple onsite technical repair centers.
Bitfarms primarily owns and operates data centers housing computers (referred to as “Miners”) designed for the purpose of validating transactions on the Bitcoin Blockchain (referred to as “Mining”). Bitfarms generally operates its Miners 24 hours per day to produce computational power used for hashing calculations (measured by hashrate) that Bitfarms sells to Mining pool operators under a formula-driven rate commonly known in the industry as Full Pay Per Share (“FPPS”). Under FPPS, Mining pool operators compensate Mining companies for their computational power used for hashing calculations, measured by hashrate, based on what the Mining pool operator would expect to generate in revenue for a given time period if there was no randomness involved. The fee paid by a Mining pool operator to Bitfarms for its computational power used for hashing calculations may be in cryptocurrency, U.S. dollars, or another currency. However, the fees are paid to the Company on a daily basis in Bitcoin (“BTC”). Bitfarms accumulates the cryptocurrency fees it receives or exchanges them for U.S. dollars through reputable and established cryptocurrency trading platforms.
As described in Note 5 to the Financial Statements, the Company acquired Stronghold Digital Mining, Inc. (“Stronghold”) on March 14, 2025 (the “Stronghold Transaction”). Through the acquisition of Stronghold, the Company now owns and operates two refuse power generation facilities. Both facilities qualify as an “Alternative Energy System” under Pennsylvania, United States law because refuse is classified as a Tier II Alternative Energy Source (large-scale hydropower is also classified in this tier). The Company sells its electricity into the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland (“PJM”) Interconnection Merchant Market under a professional services agreement with Customized Energy Solutions, Ltd. The Company’s primary fuel source at these facilities is waste which is provided by various third parties. Waste tax credits are earned by the Company by utilizing refuse to generate electricity. The Company either consumes the energy internally to support computational activities related to hashing calculations or sells the energy it produces to the open market (the “Grid”).

Management’s Discussion & Analysis |
(In U.S. dollars, except where otherwise indicated) |
The Company describes its expansion plans below under the sections entitled “United States Expansion”, “Paraguay Expansion”, and “Canada Expansion”. These expansion projects do not include updates from 2024 or earlier.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company operated 19.5 EH/s under Management across its facilities, an increase of 6.7 EH/s, or 52%, compared to December 31, 2024. The increase is attributed to the installation of additional Miners mainly in the United States, the acquisition of the operations of Stronghold in Pennsylvania, United States (which included assumption of Stronghold’s existing hosting agreement with a third party); and the Company upgrading its overall fleet with more efficient Miners.
Through its expansion projects and the investment in its fleet upgrade, the Company achieved its first 2025 targets of 18 EH/s operational and 19 w/TH installed and is executing towards its target of 21 EH/s by June 30, 2025.
The Company continues to prudently explore further opportunities to expand its infrastructure and improve its Mining hardware to increase the Company’s Hashrate and Miner efficiency and to monetize the Company’s infrastructure to create long-term value for shareholders.
Cautionary statements
The estimated costs and timelines to achieve these expansion plans may change based on, among other factors, the cost and supply of Bitcoin Mining equipment, the ability to import equipment into countries where it operates in a cost-effective and timely manner, the supply of electrical and other supporting infrastructure equipment, the availability of construction materials, currency exchange rates and the impact of geopolitical events on the supply chains described above. The Company’s expansion plans rely on a consistent supply of electricity at cost-effective rates; refer to Section 19 - Risk Factors (Section Economic Dependence on Regulated Terms of Service and Electricity Rates Risks) of the MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2024, dated March 26, 2025 for further details, including a description of these and other factors.
Fleet Upgrade
The fleet upgrade plan described below underpinned the Company’s 2024 expansion strategy. Securing additional Miners was anticipated to benefit the Company by capitalizing on elevated Bitcoin prices and drive rapid and meaningful improvements across three key operating metrics: Hashrate, energy efficiency and operating costs per TH.

2 | The Hashrate is based on the average Miner specifications stated in the purchase agreements and the Company’s actual realized Hashrate may differ. |
On March 12, 2025, in connection with the Purchase Order, an exchange agreement was signed to return 4,160 Bitmain T21 Miners. In consideration for the returned Miners, Bitmain will refund the Company with a $9.5 million credit. Simultaneously, the Company placed another purchase order (’’2025 Miners Swap’’) for 3,660 Bitmain S21+ Miners at a purchase price of $11.9 million. On March 13, 2025, the net $2.4 million obligation was paid in BTC that can be repurchased in four quarterly installments at a predetermined price.
The March 2024 Purchase Order, combined with the Purchase Order and Purchase Option, enabled the Company to reach 19.5 EH/s operating capacity and 19 w/TH efficiency in Q1 2025. The Company intends to continue liquidating older Miners to offset the cost of the capital expenditure. During Q1 2025, the Company sold 11,177 older generation Miners to third parties for approximately $1.6 million. Refer to Note 10 to the Financial Statements.
Stronghold and Yguazu data centers
The Stronghold Transaction and the Yguazu Sale (as defined below) enabled the Company to rebalance its portfolio of MW to approximately 70% in North America and 30% outside of North America and is expected to reduce the Company’s average energy costs per kWh by up to 10%. Proceeds from the transaction will be reinvested towards its 1.1 GW growth pipeline as part of the Company’s planned United States expansion for BTC and HPC/AI infrastructure, which marks a significant milestone in the Company’s transition from an international Bitcoin miner to a North American energy and compute infrastructure company.

6. EXPANSION PROJECTS (Continued)
Development of HPC/AI Business
In January 2025, the Company engaged two separate consultants in HPC/AI, Appleby Strategy Group (“ASG”) and World Wide Technology (“WWT”), to conduct formal evaluations of the Company’s data centers and energy assets for potential partial or total conversion to HPC/AI. In parallel, ASG and WWT will conduct feasibility assessments, data center engineering, site map planning, construction budgeting, and help build accelerated sales and development strategies. Combined, they will support the building of the Company’s operational capabilities and market the Company’s sites to potential HPC/AI customers.
In April 2025, phase 1 feasibility assessments from WWT were provided to the Company and confirmed the suitability of all US sites and most Canadian sites for potential conversion to HPC/AI.
United States Expansion
Acquisition of Stronghold
On March 14, 2025, the Company acquired Stronghold in a stock-for-stock merger transaction (the “Transaction”). The Transaction was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of both companies and was approved by shareholders representing a majority of the outstanding shares of Stronghold on February 27, 2025.
Stronghold shareholders received 2.52 shares of Bitfarms for each share of Stronghold they own. The Company issued 59,866,852 common shares and 12,893,650 warrants in connection with the consummation of the Merger. In addition, the Company paid $51.1 million on closing to retire Stronghold’s outstanding loans and other closing costs.
The Stronghold Transaction added up to 307 MW of power capacity, with an additional 648 MW of incremental potential power capacity, for a total of 955 MW of potential power capacity, to the Company’s operations and is aligned with the Company’s strategic objectives to diversify its operations and expand its presence in the United States through vertical integration of power generation and energy arbitrage capabilities. This transaction solidifies Bitfarms’ standing in the Bitcoin Mining sector and positions it well for expansion into the HPC/AI sector with two strategically located facilities with energy infrastructure and expansion capacity.
During the first quarter of 2025, approximately 14,500 S21 Pro Bitmain Miners were installed at the Scrubgrass and Panther Creek facilities. Following the closing of the Stronghold Transaction on March 14, 2025, the Panther Creek Hosting Agreement and Scrubgrass Hosting Agreement were terminated, settling the $15.6 million Refundable Hosting Deposits to the Company.
Sharon 2025 update
In January 2025, the Company energized 12 MW at the Sharon data center located in Sharon, Pennsylvania, United States, after installing 3,300 Miners. The Company is in the registration process for participation in Economic Demand Response and other grid support programs offered in the deregulated PJM market. Participation in these programs includes both demand response and energy arbitrage strategies that the Company plans to develop in the coming months across its PJM portfolio under Bitfarms’ energy program. This program will be critical to maximizing the value of its PJM assets through more effective control of energy prices.

6. EXPANSION PROJECTS (Continued)
United States Expansion (Continued)
Sharon 2025 update (Continued)
Through profit sharing plans from future hosting agreements and/or through proprietary compute power dedicated to BTC, the Mining operations are expected to increase the online Hashrate under management up to 1.6 EH/s. Fully energized for computing power dedicated to Bitcoin Mining, the site could support over 7.0 EH/s with current generation Miners. The cost of developing the 110 MW Bitcoin data center for computational power and the installation of the high voltage lines is estimated to range from $50.0 million to $60.0 million. A concurrent evaluation of developing all or a portion of the site for HPC/AI is in exploratory stages and may impact estimated capital expenditures and the increase in online Hashrate.
Sharon Position as of March 31, 2025
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had placed deposits of $2.2 million with suppliers for construction costs and for electrical components. As of March 31, 2025, property, plant and equipment (“PPE”) included $12.8 million related to the Sharon data center for facility construction and infrastructure equipment costs.
Washington State 2025 update
The Company completed the upgrade of a portion of its current fleet of Miners in Washington during February 2025 with new T21 Miners. The Washington location is also being evaluated for potential conversion to HPC/AI due to its strategic location near a data center cluster.
B. | Paraguay Expansion |
Paso Pe position as of March 31, 2025
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had placed deposits of $0.1 million with suppliers for construction costs and for electrical components. As of March 31, 2025, PPE included $28.2 million related to the Paso Pe data center for warehouse construction and infrastructure equipment costs.

Revenues were $66.8 million in Q1 2025 compared to $50.3 million in Q1 2024, an increase of $16.5 million, or 33%.
The most significant factors impacting the increase in Bitfarms’ revenues in Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024 are presented in the table below. Revenues increased mostly due to an increase in the Company’s average BTC Hashrate and average BTC price, partially offset by the increase in Network Difficulty and lower BTC earned resulting from lower Block Rewards following the BTC halving event that occurred on April 19, 2024.

*Average operational hashrate reflects the hashrate of the Miners that the Company owns and operates.
Bitfarms earned most of its revenues during Q1 2025 from its Canadian operations, which accounted for 45% of total revenues, compared to 64% in Q1 2024. The Company’s operations in United States, Paraguay, and Argentina accounted for 27%, 18%, and 10% of total revenues in Q1 2025, respectively, compared to 10%, 3%, and 23% in Q1 2024, respectively.
In Q1 2025, revenues from the Company’s operations in United States and Paraguay increased by $13.2 million and $10.3 million, respectively, compared to Q1 2024. The increases are mainly due to the average Hashrate increase of the United States and Paraguay operations of 3.4 EH/s and 2.2 EH/s, respectively, and the increase in average BTC price, partially offset by the decrease in BTC Block Rewards following the BTC halving event that occurred on April 19, 2024 and the increase in Network Difficulty. The Company’s acquisition of Stronghold’s facilities as part of the Stronghold Transaction contributed to 1.4 EH/s, or 18% of the Hashrate increase. Revenues from the Company’s operations in Argentina and Canada decreased by $4.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively, in Q1 2025, as compared to Q1 2024 due to the factors mentioned above, partially offset by the average Hashrate increase in Canada.

Q1 2025 v. Q1 2024
Bitfarms’ cost of revenues for Q1 2025 was $67.4 million, compared to $61.0 million for Q1 2024. The increase in cost of revenues was mainly attributable to:
● | A $6.1 million, or 31%, increase in energy expenses, mainly due to: |
◦ | The Company adding new and more efficient Miners, which increased energy utilization to an average of 279 MW during Q1 2025 versus 214 MW for the same period in 2024, partially offset by Canadian sales taxes on its energy and infrastructure expenses that were refundable in Q1 2025 compared to being expensed in Q1 2024, resulting in a net increase in total electricity costs of $3.9 million. Refer to Note 29b - Additional Details to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Comprehensive Profit or Loss (Canadian sales tax refund) to the 2024 Annual Financial Statements; and |
◦ | A $2.2 million increase due to fuel expenses from its power plants to generate revenues following the acquisition of Stronghold in Q1 2025. |
● | A $7.7 million, or 100%, increase in hosting expenses, mainly due to: |
◦ | A non-recurring increase of $3.3 million in hosting expenses as the Company had its Miners hosted at Stronghold’s Panther Creek and Scrubgrass facilities in the United States in Q1 2025, prior to the acquisition of Stronghold; and |
◦ | A $4.4 million increase in electricity costs incurred for hosting at the Panther Creek and Scrubgrass facilities in the United States. |
● | A $1.7 million, or 87%, increase in infrastructure expenses, mainly due to: |
◦ | The ongoing work at the Panther Creek, Scrubgrass and Sharon facilities in the United States to increase operational capacity; and |
◦ | The site preparation cost for hydro Miners in Baie-Comeau, Canada and the higher repairs and maintenance costs related to the Miner installation. |
The increase was partially offset by:
● | A $9.3 million decrease in non-cash depreciation and amortization expense due to the accelerated depreciation recorded in Q1 2024 related to the upgrade program, which decreased the anticipated useful life of older miners. Refer to Note 12 - Property, Plant and Equipment to the 2024 Annual Financial Statements. |

Q1 2025 v. Q1 2024
Bitfarms’ general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $20.2 million in Q1 2025, compared to $13.2 million for Q1 2024. The increase of $7.0 million, or 53%, was largely due to:
● | A $4.0 million increase in professional services related to legal and accounting fees associated with non-recurring activities including the Stronghold Transaction and related filing fees. |
● | A $1.3 million increase in share-based payment due to higher outstanding stock options and restricted stock units (“RSU”) during Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024. |
● | A $1.1 million increase in insurance, duties and other due to increases in property and liability insurance expense as a result of expanded infrastructure and a larger number of Miners deployed as well as increases in property taxes, other taxes, permits and software licenses to support the global expansion. |

Q1 2025 v. Q1 2024
Bitfarms’ net financial income was $2.1 million for Q1 2025, compared to $11.4 million for Q1 2024. The $9.3 million decrease was primarily related to:
● | A $3.4 million decrease in gain on revaluation of warrants due to the fair value of the warrant liabilities for the 2023 private placement in Q1 2025 decreasing less than the fair value decrease of the warrant liabilities for the 2021 and 2023 private placements in Q1 2024. |
● | A $6.2 million unfavorable change in (loss) gain on derivative assets and liabilities mainly due to: |
◦ | Net loss of $2.2 million in Q1 2025 from the BTC Redemption Option. Refer to Note 9 to the Financial Statements. |
◦ | Net loss of $1.5 million in Q1 2025 from the Bitcoin One Program, which includes an unrealized loss of $6.3 million on open positions, partially offset by realized gain of $4.8 million on closed positions. Refer to Section 10b - Capital Resources (Bitcoin One program for digital assets management). |
◦ | Net gain of $2.5 million in Q1 2024, mainly from the unrealized gain on the change in fair value of open Synthetic HODLTM positions. Refer to Note 9 to the Financial Statements for more details. |

7. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE (Continued)
E. | Impairment |
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, as a result of the decline of the Company’s market capitalization and BTC prices, the Company performed evaluations of the recoverable amount of the assets for operating cryptocurrency mining facilities in Canada, United States, Argentina and Paraguay separately. The Company also observed an increase in gas prices which affects the Company’s cost of energy in Argentina. The recoverable amount for the Argentina cash generating unit (“CGU”) was calculated using the value in use model, which was determined to be lower than its carrying amount. Based on its calculation, the Company determined that an impairment loss should be recorded on its Argentina CGU.
The impairment loss on the Company’s Argentina CGU recorded in Q1 2025 amounted to $15.9 million, of which $15.6 million was allocated to PPE, $0.2 million to equipment and construction prepayments and $0.1 million to ROU. The impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss under Impairment on non-financial assets, compared to an impairment loss of nil in Q1 2024.
The majority of assets included in the Argentina CGU are funded through a funding mechanism facilitating the favorable conversion of U.S. dollars to Argentine Pesos, which generated a gain on disposition of marketable securities. The gain on disposition of marketable securities is reflected in the value of the assets before any impairment charge is incurred. The combined impact of the cumulative impairment charges on the operating Argentina CGU and the cumulative gain on disposition of marketable securities from Argentina is reflected as an expense of $35.9 million in profit or loss.
In addition, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1.3 million on its Miners held for sale in Q1 2025, compared to nil in Q1 2024.
For more details of the key assumptions used in the calculations, refer to Note 11 - Impairment to the Financial Statements.

8. SELECTED QUARTERLY INFORMATION (Continued)
Although the BTC Mining industry experiences volatility, it is not generally subject to seasonality or seasonal effects. Seasonal fluctuations in energy supply, however, may impact the Company’s operations. The majority of the Company’s operations during the above periods were in Quebec, Canada, where power was sourced directly from Hydro-Québec, Hydro-Magog, Hydro-Sherbrooke and the City of Baie-Comeau. The Company also had operations in Washington State, United States, that were powered by the Grant County Power Utility District; operations in Pennsylvania, United States, that were powered by Stronghold and the PJM Interconnection Merchant Market; as well as operations in Paraguay that were powered by ANDE and Compañía de Luz y Fuerza S.A (“CLYFSA”). Energy rates in Argentina increase during the winter months of May through September. Among other phenomena, changing weather in Quebec (Canada), Washington State (United States), Paraguay and Argentina may impact seasonal electricity needs and costs. Periods of extreme cold or extreme hot weather may contribute to service interruptions in cryptocurrency Mining operations. Changes to supply and/or demand of electricity may result in curtailment of electricity to the Company’s cryptocurrency Mining operations. The Company’s geographical diversification may reduce the risk and extent of extreme weather and other external factors unduly affecting the Company’s overall performance.
For Q1 2025 details, refer to Section 7A - Financial Performance (Revenues); Section 10A - Liquidity and Capital Resources (Cash Flows); and Section 6 - Expansion Projects (United States Expansion, Paraguay Expansion, and Canada Expansion) of this MD&A.

10. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As discussed below, the Company’s current financing strategy involves (a) strategically selling the BTC it earns and the BTC it holds in treasury and (b) utilizing short-term debt, long-term debt and equity instruments (including the 2024 ATM Program) to fund its expansion activities, operating expenses and debt service requirements. The Company may require additional funds to complete its 2025 and 2026 growth plans discussed in Section 6 - Expansion Projects of this MD&A.
Although the Company operates through its subsidiaries, there are no material legal restrictions and generally no practical restrictions on the ability of the subsidiaries to transfer funds to the Company, except that the Company may be subject to practical limitations on transferring funds from its Argentinian subsidiary. Beginning in the second half of 2019, the Argentine government instituted certain foreign currency exchange controls that could restrict the Company’s Argentinian subsidiary’s access to foreign currency, including the U.S. dollar, for making payments abroad or transferring funds to its parent without prior authorization from the Argentine Central Bank. These regulations have continued to evolve and may become more stringent depending on the Argentine government´s perception of the availability of sufficient national foreign currency reserves. Further, recent changes, as well as any future changes, in national and provincial leadership may result in changing governmental perceptions and actions surrounding importation policies and the availability of foreign currency reserves for commerce. In late 2023, Argentina held a presidential election resulting in the election of a new president, Javier Milei. Many of the foreign exchange restrictions implemented in 2019 are still in place, particularly for imports and dividend payments related to transactions before December 13, 2023.
On April 11, 2025, the International Monetary Fund approved a new $20.0 billion Extended Fund Facility program for Argentina with a term of 48 months. Concurrently, the Central Bank of Argentina (“BCRA”) announced a new floating exchange rate regime with a range of 1,000 and 1,400 Argentine Pesos per U.S. dollar, which will widen at a 1% monthly crawl. The official exchange rate was 1,078 Argentine Peso per U.S. dollar on the day of the announcement. The BCRA will intervene in the foreign exchange market when the exchange rate falls outside the range. Interventions will not be sterilized. The tight capital and exchange rate controls were also significantly relaxed, allowing individuals unrestricted access to the official exchange rate market and significantly liberalizing conditions for businesses and importers. To deal with the stock of dividends accrued before 2025, the BCRA will work on the issuance of BOPREAL bonds. Businesses, in turn, will be able to access the official market for their flow needs and the payment of dividends to foreign shareholders for fiscal year 2025 and onwards. The conditions and timing to access dollars were also considerably relaxed for importers. The ongoing implications for economic and monetary policy, and its impact on Bitfarms, cannot be ascertained as of the date of this MD&A.
The Company sends funds periodically to its Argentinian subsidiary to fund its expansion and operations based on supplier invoices that are paid by the Argentinian subsidiary. The Argentinian subsidiary provides Hashrate services for a market-based fee to its Canadian parent which, in turn, purchases that Hashrate to consolidate and sell to a third-party Mining Pool for which the Canadian parent is compensated in BTC. Accordingly, the Argentinian subsidiary is not structured or contemplated to generate substantial cash flows above its internal requirements.

Cash Flows used in Operating Activities
Cash flows used in operating activities decreased by $12.7 million during Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024.
The decrease in cash flow used in operating activities is driven primarily by:
● | An increase in working capital of $28.1 million as explained in Section 11 - Financial Position of this MD&A. |
The decrease was partially offset by:
● | Higher cash G&A expenses, net of sales tax refund, of $5.6 million as explained in Section 7C - Financial Performance - General & Administrative expenses of this MD&A; and |
● | Higher cash energy cost of $6.1 million and hosting expenses of $7.7 million , as explained in Section 7B - Financial Performance - Cost of Revenues of this MD&A. |
Cash Flows used in Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities decreased by $1.3 million during Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024.

● | $4.5 million in advance payments Q1 2025, compared to $74.0 million in advanced payments during Q1 2024, mainly for the fleet upgrade. |
The decrease was partially offset by:
● | $41.2 million of net additions of PPE during Q1 2025, compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2024, primarily due to the acquisition of Miners and infrastructure build-out; |
● | $1.6 million of net payments from disposition of derivative assets and liabilities in Q1 2025, as described in Note 9 - Derivative Assets and Liabilities to the Financial Statements, compared to nil in Q1 2024; |
● | A decrease in proceeds from sale of digital assets earned of $12.3 million as a result of selling 428 BTC in Q1 2025 compared to 941 BTC in Q1 2024; and |
● | The acquisition of Stronghold for $48.1 million in Q1 2025, as described in Note 5 - Business Combination to the Financial Statements, compared to nil in Q1 2024. |

B. | Capital Resources |
Bitfarms’ capital management objective is to provide financial resources that will enable the Company to maximize the return to its shareholders while optimizing its cost of capital and ensuring the Company has sufficient liquidity to fund its operating and growth activities. In order to achieve this objective, the Company monitors its capital structure and makes adjustments as required in light of the Company’s funding requirements, changes in economic conditions, the cost of providing and availability of financing, and the risks to which the Company is exposed. The Company’s financing strategy is to maintain a flexible capital structure that optimizes the cost of capital at an acceptable level of risk, to preserve its ability to meet financial obligations as they come due, and to ensure the Company has sufficient financial resources to fund its organic and acquisitive growth.

B. | Capital Resources (Continued) |
Based on the current capital budget and BTC prices, the Company currently anticipates that additional financing will be required to fund its 2025 and 2026 expansion plans and to complete construction of additional data centers, if the Company elects to do so. In order to achieve its business objectives, the Company may sell or borrow against the BTC that are held in treasury as of the date hereof as well as BTC received from its ongoing operations, which may or may not be possible on commercially attractive terms. Bitfarms intends to continue to manage its capital structure by striving to reduce operating expenses and unnecessary capital spending, disposing of inefficient or underutilized assets, obtaining short-term and long-term debt financing and issuing equity.
Digital Asset Management Program
In early January 2021, the Company implemented a digital asset management program under which it holds BTC for its intrinsic value and as a source of liquidity. The Company has internal controls over the management of its digital assets which it evaluates and, as appropriate, enhances on a quarterly basis. On August 1, 2022, Management received approval from the Board to sell daily production, in addition to any sale of up to 1,000 BTC from treasury, should market conditions and the Company’s projected financing requirements justify such sales in Management’s discretion.
Presented below are the total BTC sold and proceeds in Q1 2025, which was used to fund operations and expansion plans:
Three months ended | ||||
(U.S. $ in thousands except where indicated) | March 31, 2025 | |||

Total proceeds | 37,263 |
The sale of BTC as described above, while the Company continued to earn BTC, resulted in total holdings of 1,492 BTC as of March 31, 2025, of which 353 BTC are restricted, valued at approximately $123.2 million based on a BTC price of approximately $82,400, as of March 31, 2025.

Custody of digital assets
The Company’s BTC received from the Mining pool operators for its computational power used for hashing calculations is delivered to multi-signature wallets that the Company controls or directs to external third-party custodians. On a regular basis, the Company transfers BTC from its multi-signature wallets to external third-party custodians, Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC (“Coinbase Custody”), a subsidiary of Coinbase Global, Inc. (“Coinbase”) and Anchorage Digital Bank National Association (“Anchorage Digital”). Coinbase Custody provides custody and related services for clients’ digital assets as a fiduciary pursuant to the New York State Department of Financial Services under Section 100 of the New York Banking Law. Anchorage Digital is the only federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S., serves as a custodian for digital assets, and is licensed and regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Currently, Coinbase Custody and Anchorage Digital provide only custodial services to the Company and do not use a sub-custodian. Coinbase Custody and Anchorage Digital are not related parties to the Company.
The Company has internal controls in place to evaluate its custodians on a quarterly basis. If the Company was to face challenges with one of its custodians, the Company could transfer digital assets between custodians and has its own multi-signature wallets as a contingency plan that would have a minimal impact on the Company’s operations.
As of May 13, 2025, the Company has 1,166 BTC, valued at $121.4 million on its balance sheet, based on a price of $104,100 per BTC. As of the date of this MD&A, 65% of the Company’s BTC are held in custody with Coinbase Custody and Anchorage Digital with the remaining 35% held by third parties and classified as restricted digital assets in the statement of financial position.
Coinbase Custody maintains an insurance policy of $100.0 million for its cold storage and Anchorage Digital maintains an insurance policy of $100.0 million for its cold and hot storage; however, the Company cannot ensure that the full limits of those policies would be available to the Company or, if available, would be sufficient to make the Company whole for any BTC that are lost or stolen. The Company is unaware of: (i) any security breaches involving Coinbase Custody or Anchorage Digital which have resulted in the Company’s crypto assets being lost or stolen, or (ii) anything with regards to Coinbase Custody’s or Anchorage Digital’s operations that would adversely affect the Company’s ability to obtain an unqualified audit opinion on its audited financial statements. The Company’s crypto assets held in custody with Coinbase or Anchorage Digital may not be recoverable in the event of bankruptcy by Coinbase, Anchorage Digital or their affiliates. In Coinbase’s quarterly report, on Form 10-Q, filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission on May 8, 2025, Coinbase disclosed that, in the event of a bankruptcy, custodially held crypto assets could be considered to be the property of the bankruptcy estate and that the crypto assets held in custody could be subject to bankruptcy proceedings with Coinbase Custody’s customers being treated as general unsecured creditors. Further, regardless of efforts made by the Company to securely store and safeguard assets, there can be no assurance that the Company’s cryptocurrency assets will not be defalcated through hacking or other forms of theft.

Bitcoin One program for digital assets management
In February 2025, the Board approved the launch of the Bitcoin One initiative as the successor to the Company’s retired hedging program and Synthetic HODLTM program for digital assets management, which was deployed during February 2025. Bitcoin One is a quantitative investment multi-strategy program that employs a disciplined approach to accelerate BTC accumulation through diversification, strategic leverage, and market timing. The Board authorized the risk management committee to deploy up to (i) 100% of the Company’s BTC in treasury, plus (ii) three months of expected forward production calculated on a rolling basis, plus (iii) $10.0 million under Bitcoin One to be actively managed and participate in volatility-targeting strategies.
Bitcoin One focuses on active BTC treasury management through discretionary and rules-based trading algorithms and an active managed volatility targeting program that trades crypto volatility as an asset class and harvests the risk premium that arises from that volatility.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of $1.5 million from the Bitcoin One program, which consisted of an unrealized loss of $6.3 million on open positions, partially offset by realized gain of $4.8 million on closed positions.

i. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) Matters
On November 19, 2021, Scrubgrass received a notice of breach from PJM Interconnection, LLC alleging that Scrubgrass breached Interconnection Service Agreement – No. 1795 (the “ISA”) by failing to provide advance notice to PJM Interconnection, LLC and Mid-Atlantic Interstate Transmission, LLC pursuant to ISA, Appendix 2, section 3, of modifications made to the Scrubgrass Plant. On May 11, 2022, the Division of Investigations of the FERC Office of Enforcement (“OE”) informed the Company that the OE was conducting a non-public preliminary investigation concerning Scrubgrass’ compliance with various aspects of the PJM tariff.
On January 30, 2025, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (the “Commission”) approved a Stipulation and Settlement Agreement between the OE and Scrubgrass (the “Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Scrubgrass agreed to: (a) disgorge to PJM $0.7 million in capacity revenues received during the relevant period; (b) pay a civil penalty of $0.7 million for a total, including (a), of $1.4 million to the United States Treasury; and (c) provide compliance training to relevant personnel and compliance monitoring reports. Scrubgrass is to pay the settlement amount over a period of three years. In the first year, Scrubgrass is to pay a lump sum of $0.4 million, which Scrubgrass paid in February of 2025. In the second and third years, Scrubgrass shall make 8 payments of $0.1 million on a calendar quarter basis. For a period of five years following the effective date of the Settlement Agreement, Scrubgrass is to provide annual compliance training focused primarily on the applicable tariff and related rules, regulations, and requirements applicable to operating generators, to all personnel whose job responsibilities relate to the generators’ participation in Commission jurisdictional markets. As of March 31, 2025, the settlement accrual was $1.1 million and represents the 8 installment payments.
ii. Shareholder Securities Lawsuit
On April 14, 2022, Stronghold, and certain of its former directors, officers and underwriters were named in a putative class action complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Winter v. Stronghold Digital Mining, Case No. 1:22-cv-3088). On October 18, 2022, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, alleging that the Company made misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material facts in violation of Section 11 of the Securities Act, 15 U.S.C. §77k and Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 related to its initial public offering, and when subsequent disclosures were made regarding these operational issues when the Company announced its fourth quarter and full year 2021 financial results, the Company’s stock price fell, causing significant losses and damages.

ii. Shareholder Securities Lawsuit (Continued)
On December 16, 2024, the District Court issued an Order granting Preliminary Approval of the Class Action Settlement, Approving Form and Manner of Notice, and Setting Date for Hearing on Final Approval of Settlement. The Company agreed to pay $4.8 million in cash and 25 BTC. On January 15, 2025, $2.5 million was covered by the Company’s insurance providers and Stronghold paid the remaining $2.3 million into escrow. One BTC will be paid monthly for two years. The cash value of each Bitcoin is expected to be calculated monthly according to a price set by the Nasdaq Bitcoin reference price index. As of March 31, 2025, the settlement accrual was $1.8 million and represents the value of the remaining 22 BTC to paid.
E. | Contingent liability |
In 2021, the Company imported Miners into Washington State, United States, that the vendor located in China claimed originated in Malaysia. In early 2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection challenged the origination of the Miners, asserting that the Miners were manufactured in China, and notified the Company of a potential assessment of a U.S. importation duty of 25%. Since the request for information by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Company has been working with the vendor to validate their origination outside of China by visiting contract manufacturer sites and by examining and documenting the manufacture and assembly of the Miners by the vendor and its third-party contractors.
During the third quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2025, the Company submitted supporting documentation to U.S. Customs and Border Protection in defense of its position that the Miners were manufactured outside China and the associated custom duties in the amount of $9.4 million do not apply. While the final outcome of this matter is uncertain at this time, Management has determined it is not probable that it will result in a future cash outflow for the Company and, as such, no provision was recorded as of March 31, 2025.

F. | Commitments |
As of March 31, 2025, in relation to the March 2024 Purchase Order, the Company is committed to purchase 1,075 S21 Pro Miners yet to be delivered, for which BTC was pledged.
In addition, in relation to the 2025 Miners Swap Order, the Company is committed to return 4,160 Bitmain T21 Miners and to purchase 3,660 Bitmain S21+ Miners. In consideration for the returned products, the Company will receive a $9.5 million credit refund that will be applied against the purchase price of $11.9 million. On March 13, 2025, the Company paid the net $2.4 million in BTC.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s total remaining payment exposure obligations in connection with the Miner purchase orders were $27.3 million for 293 BTC Pledged that can be redeemed in installments. Of the potential obligation of $27.3 million, $20.1 million was recorded as redemption obligation in the consolidated statements of financial position as the Miners were shipped.
The Company is not obligated to redeem all or any of the BTC installments. If the Company elects not to redeem one of the BTC Installments, the Company forfeits the right to redeem the remaining BTC Installments. In January 2025 and April 2025, the Company exercised the first and second BTC Installment relating to the March 2024 Purchase Order, respectively.

With the BTC Halving event that occurred on April 19, 2024, the Company continues to place importance on maintaining sufficient liquidity to manage uncertainty and capitalize upon suitable opportunities the BTC Halving may present. The Company also anticipates requiring additional funds to complete its 2025 growth plans discussed in Section 6 - Expansion Projects of this MD&A. As of March 31, 2025, Bitfarms had working capital of $139.2 million, compared to $177.4 million as of December 31, 2024.
The decrease in working capital was mostly due to:
● | A $32.0 million increase in trade payables and accrued liabilities mainly due to $20.8 million attributable to the acquisition of Stronghold as explained in Note 5 to the Financial Statements.. |
● | A $21.0 million decrease in cash as explained by the cash flows. Refer to Section 10A - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Cash flows of this MD&A. |
● | A $20.1 million increase in redemption obligation, which represented the remaining BTC Redemption Options for which Miners have been shipped, reflecting the Company’s obligation to either redeem the BTC Pledged for cash or use the BTC Pledged for the purchase of the Miners. No redemption obligation was recorded as of December 31, 2024, as the Miners ordered, for which a deposit payment in BTC was made, had not yet been shipped. |
The decrease is partially offset by:
● | A $30.2 million increase in receivable from disposal of Yguazu Mining site as explained in Section 6b - Expansion Projects (Paraguay Expansion). |
● | A $5.6 million decrease in warrant liabilities due to the subsequent decrease in fair value revaluation of the warrants from the 2023 private placements as a result of the decrease in the Company’s share price. |
● | A $3.7 million increase in inventories mainly attributable to the acquisition of Stronghold as explained in Note 5 to the Financial Statements. |
● | A $3.1 million increase in digital assets resulting from the increase of the Company’s balance by 207 BTC and partially offset by the decrease in the BTC price during Q1 2025. |

● | The $228.7 million increase in United States PPE mainly due to the $158.3 million increase from the acquisition of Stronghold as explained in Note 5 to the Financial Statements as well as ongoing expansion investments in the United States. Refer to section 6b - Expansion Projects (United States Expansion). |
The increase was partially offset by:
● | The $39.2 million decrease in Paraguay PPE primarily due to the sale of the Yguazu Mining Site. Refer to section 6b - Expansion Projects (Paraguay Expansion); and |
● | The $12.7 million and $18.2 million decreases in Canada and Argentina PPE, respectively, mainly due to regular depreciation, which exceeded Miners fleet upgrade and the $15.6 million impairment on Argentina PPE. Refer to Note 11 - Impairment to the Financial Statements. |

15. INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
A. | Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
Management, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the Company, has designed or caused to be designed under their supervision disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”) to provide reasonable assurance that:
i) material information relating to the Company is made known to them by others, particularly during the period in which the annual filings are being prepared; and
ii) information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by the Company under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation.
B. | Management’s quarterly report on internal control over financial reporting |
Management, under the supervision of the CEO and CFO, is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”). Management, under the supervision of the CEO and CFO, has designed ICFR, or caused them to be designed under their supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
Identified material weakness
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In 2023, Management identified that the warrants issued in 2021 should have been classified as a financial liability and accounted for at fair value through profit and loss, and not as equity instruments. The restatement to correct the classification and subsequent accounting for those warrants impacted the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was reflected in the comparative period for the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed on December 9, 2024.

15. INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING (Continued)
B. | Management’s quarterly report on internal control over financial reporting (Continued) |
Identified material weakness (Continued)
In the fourth quarter of 2024, Management also identified a material error in the statements of cash flows, resulting in a reclassification of sales of digital assets from cash flows from operations to cash flows from investing activities. These errors, which impacted the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, were corrected with the filing of Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 40-F for fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
Management concluded that the control over accounting for complex transactions did not operate effectively in these instances, which constitutes a material weakness in ICFR as of December 31, 2024. Management concluded that the Company’s ICFR as of December 31, 2024 was not effective because of the material weakness.
Status of remediation plan
Remediation efforts to date comprise expanding the finance team to include more Chartered Professional Accountants (CPAs) with technical expertise and experience in evaluating more complex areas of IFRS Accounting Standards, involving the Company’s legal counsel on evaluating complex agreements involving financial instruments and engaging third-party consultants to assist with assessing the accounting for complex transactions and review of financial statements. Management’s efforts to hire more CPAs and involving the Company’s legal counsel and third-party consultants to assist with complex transactions were in place at the end of 2024, and its remediation plan is expected to be completed after review and testing of controls during 2025.
If these remedial measures are insufficient to address the material weakness described above, or are not implemented timely, or additional deficiencies arise in the future, material misstatements in our interim or annual financial statements may occur in the future and could have the effects described in Risk Factors of the Company’s MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2024, dated March 26, 2025.
C. | Changes in internal control over financial reporting |
There have been no changes in the Company’s ICFR that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s ICFR during the period beginning on January 1, 2025 and ended March 31, 2025.
D. | Limitation of DC&P and ICFR |
All control systems contain inherent limitations, regardless of how well they are designed. As a result, Management acknowledges that its internal control over financial reporting will not prevent or detect all misstatements due to error or fraud. In addition, Management’s evaluation of controls can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that all control issues that may result in material misstatements, if any, have been detected.
In March 2025, the Company acquired Stronghold in the Stronghold Transaction. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating and integrating Stronghold’s controls over financial reporting, which may result in changes or additions to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Under guidelines established by the SEC and in accordance with National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings, companies are permitted to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of internal control over financial reporting during the first year of an acquisition while integrating the acquired company. In the Company’s assessment of the scope of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, the Company has excluded the controls, policies and procedures of Stronghold from the assessment of internal control over financial reporting at March 31, 2025. The Company will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting as the Company completes the integration of Stronghold.
From March 15, 2025 (the first day following the acquisition) to March 31, 2025, Stronghold generated revenue of $1.1 million and net loss of $3.8 million. As of March 31, 2025, Stronghold’s current assets and current liabilities represented approximately 0.01% and 26.1% of the Company’s consolidated current assets and current liabilities, respectively.

16. RECENT AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
A. | Credit Facility |
On April 1, 2025, the Company signed a credit facility for up to $300.0 million (the ’‘Credit Facility’’) with Macquarie Equipment Capital, Inc. (’‘Macquarie’’). The initial draw for $50.0 million (’‘Initial Tranche’’) will be used for project development soft costs of the Panther Creek data center and other general corporate purposes. The remaining $250.0 million (’’Second Tranche’’) will be drawable as the Company achieves specific development milestones at the Panther Creek location and secured at the project level at which time the Initial Tranche will be rolled into the project facility. The facility expires two years from the closing date and incurs an annual interest rate of 8%.
In connection with the Initial Tranche, Macquarie received warrants for the purchase of $5.0 million in shares of the Company. Under the loan agreement, up to $125.0 million having been drawn under the Second Tranche for the Panther Creek development, Macquarie will receive additional warrants equal to 10% of the amount drawn under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility for the Initial Tranche includes various covenants for the Company and its subsidiaries including restrictions on dispositions, dividends, the incurrence of debt and liens, material changes in the nature of its business, related party transactions and investments.
The Company is subject to financial and non-financial covenants. As of May 13, 2025, the Company was not in breach of any of its Credit Facility covenants.
B. | Redemption options of BTC |
On April 30, 2025, the Company exercised its option to redeem the second installment of the BTC Pledged in relation to the purchase of Miners under the March 2024 purchase order. The Company redeemed 87 BTC for $8.3 million. See Note 7 to the Financial Statements for more details.
C. | Argentina Operations |
On April 30 2025, the Company was informed that its electricity supplier at Rio Cuarto, Argentina, Generación Mediterránea S.A. (“GMSA”), appointed local and international financial advisors to conduct a process with their creditors regarding the restructuring of all its financial debt, but confirmed that the Company would be able to continue consuming power at the Rio Cuarto site. GMSA is currently negotiating with its commercial suppliers. On May 12, 2025, the Company was informed by GMSA that, effective immediately, they were halting the supply of electricity to the Company’s Rio Cuarto, Argentina facility until further notice. At this stage, there is uncertainty around the potential resumption of the supply of electricity and the timing thereof. This event has necessitated a pause in the Company’s cryptocurrency Mining activities in Argentina and, unless resolved, may significantly impact the operations in that country. The Company is evaluating all of its options for its Argentina operations. The impact of this subsequent event is considered a non-adjusting subsequent event and not factored into the Company’s impairment analysis discussed in Note 11 to the Financial Statements.
D. | Class Action Lawsuit |
On May 9, 2025, a purported shareholder filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, in a case titled Olympio v. Bitfarms Ltd., Benjamin Gagnon, Jeffrey Lucas, and Geoff Morphy, case no 1:25-cv-02630, alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5, promulgated thereunder. The lawsuit alleges that the Company, its current CEO, its CFO and its former CEO made materially false and/or misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations and internal controls over financial reporting. The Plaintiff seeks class certification, unspecified damages plus interest and attorney and expert witness fees and other costs on behalf of a purported class consisting of all persons and entities (subject to specified exceptions) that purchased or otherwise acquired Company common stock from March 21, 2023 and December 9, 2024. The Company cannot predict the duration or outcome of this lawsuit at this time. As a result, the Company is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of reasonably possible loss arising from this lawsuit. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

18. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE (Continued)
Argentina
The Company operates one 58 MW data center located in Cordoba, Argentina.
There are no material restrictions in Argentina on the business of operating a server farm or conducting the business of the Company as described herein and, as of the date of this MD&A, the Company has not received any material notices or statements from regulatory authorities in Argentina that would negatively impact its operations in Argentina. The Company is not relying on any registrations, exemptions, or “no action” letters to conduct its business in Argentina.
The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and is affected by several factors that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results, and/or future prospects. These risks should be considered when evaluating an investment in the Company and may, among other things, cause a decline in the price of the Corporation’s shares.
The risks and uncertainties that Management considers as the most material to the Company’s business are described in the section entitled Risk Factors of the Company’s MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2024, dated March 26, 2025 and Section 18 - Risk Factor in the 2024 AIF. These risks and uncertainties have not materially changed during the three months ended March 31, 2025, other than the risks as described below, and are hereby incorporated by reference.
The Company is currently subject to securities class action litigation and may be subject to similar or other litigation in the future, which may divert management’s attention.
On May 9, 2025, a purported shareholder filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, in a case titled Olympio v. Bitfarms Ltd., Benjamin Gagnon, Jeffrey Lucas, and Geoff Morphy, case no 1:25-cv-02630, alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5, promulgated thereunder. The lawsuit alleges that the Company, its current Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer and its former Chief Executive Officer made materially false and/or misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations and internal controls over financial reporting (refer to Section 16. Recent and Subsequent Events).
There may be additional suits or proceedings brought in the future. Monitoring and defending against legal actions, whether or not meritorious, is time-consuming for the Company’s Management and detracts from the Company’s ability to fully focus its internal resources on its business activities, and the Company cannot predict how long it may take to resolve these matters. In addition, the Company may incur substantial legal fees and costs in connection with litigation. The Company is not currently able to estimate the possible cost to it from these lawsuits, and the Company cannot be certain how long it may take to resolve these lawsuits or the possible amount of any damages that the Company may be required to pay. The Company has not at this time established any reserves for any potential liability relating to these lawsuits. It is possible that the Company could, in the future, incur judgment or enter into settlement of claims for monetary damages. A decision adverse to the Company’s interests in this lawsuit could result in the payment of substantial damages and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the uncertainty of the currently pending lawsuit could lead to volatility in the price of the Company’s common shares.
The Company’s operations in Rio Cuarto have been suspended due to a halt in its supply of electrical power.
The Company’s data center in Rio Cuarto, Argentina, receives electricity pursuant to a power contract with Generacion Mediterranea S.A (“GMSA”), a subsidiary of Grupo Albanesi. Grupo Albanesi is an Argentine private corporate group focused on the energy market, which provides natural gas and electrical energy to its clients from its multiple data centers.
However, on April 30, 2025, the Company was informed that GMSA appointed local and international financial advisors to conduct a process with their creditors regarding the restructuring of all its financial debt. GMSA is currently negotiating with its commercial suppliers. On May 12, 2025, the Company was informed by GMSA that it will be halting until further notice the supply of electricity to the Company’s Rio Cuarto, Argentina facility. At this stage, the Company does not have certainty of the timing for when normal supply of electricity will resume, or whether it will resume at all, and the Company is evaluating all of its options for the Argentina operations including, but not limited to, discontinuing operations at Rio Cuarto if normal operations cannot resume in the near term. If operations at Rio Cuarto remain suspended or are discontinued, the Company’s operational Hashrate may decrease, and its results of operations and financial condition, as well as the trading price of the Company’s common shares, could be materially and adversely affected.

23. CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING NON-IFRS AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RATIOS
This MD&A makes reference to certain measures that are not recognized under IFRS Accounting Standards and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards. They are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company uses non-IFRS and other financial measures and ratios including “EBITDA,” “EBITDA margin,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA margin,” “Gross Mining profit,” “Gross Mining margin,” “Gross margin”, “Operating margin”, “Direct Cost”, “Direct Cost per BTC”, “Total Cash Cost” and “Total Cash Cost per BTC” as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company’s results of operations from Management’s perspective. Refer to Section 9 - Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures and Ratios of the MD&A for more details.
These measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company’s results of operations from Management’s perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial information reported under IFRS. Reconciliations from IFRS measures to non-IFRS measures are included throughout this MD&A.
Additional information and other publicly filed documents relating to the Company are available through the internet on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.

Terms | Definition |
Artificial Intelligence (AI) | A branch of technology enabling computers and machines to replicate human-like abilities, including learning, understanding, problem-solving, decision-making, creativity, and autonomous action. |
ASIC | ASIC stands for Application Specific Integrated Circuit and refers primarily to specific computer devices designed to solve the SHA-256 algorithm. |
Bitcoin (BTC) | BTC is a decentralized digital currency that is not controlled by any centralized authority (e.g., a government, financial institution or regulatory organization) that can be sent from user to user on the Bitcoin network without the need for intermediaries to clear transactions. Transactions are verified through the process of Mining and recorded in a public ledger known as the Blockchain. BTC is created when the Bitcoin network issues Block Rewards through the Mining process. |
Bitcoin One | Bitcoin One is a quantitative investment multi-strategy program that employs a disciplined approach to accelerate BTC accumulation through diversification, strategic leverage, and market timing. |
Block Reward | A Bitcoin Block Reward refers to the new BTC that are awarded by the Blockchain network to eligible cryptocurrency Miners for each block they successfully mine. The current block reward is 3.125 BTC per block. |
Blockchain | A Blockchain is a cloud-based public ledger that exists on computers that participate on the network globally. The Blockchain grows as new sets of data, or ‘blocks’, are added to it through Mining. Each block contains a timestamp and a link to the previous block, such that the series of blocks form a continuous chain. Given that each block has a separate hash and each hash requires information from the previous block, altering information an established block would require recalculating all the hashes on the Blockchain which would require an enormous and impracticable amount of computing power. As a result, once a block is added to the Blockchain it is very difficult to edit and impossible to delete. |
Exahash or EH/s | One quintillion (1,000,000,000,000,000,000) hashes or one million Terahash per second. |
Gigawatt or GW | A gigawatt is 1,000 megawatts of electricity and, in the industry of cryptocurrency Mining, can be a reference to the number of gigawatts of electricity per hour that is available for use. |
Hash | A hash is a function that converts or maps an input of letters and numbers into an encrypted output of a fixed length, which outputs are often referred to as hashes. A hash is created using an algorithm. The algorithm used in the validation of Bitcoin transactions is the SHA-256 algorithm. |
Hashrate | Hashrate refers to the number of hash operations performed per second and is a measure of computing power in Mining cryptocurrency. |
Hashrate Under Management | Hashrate from the Miners the Company owns and from Miners hosted and managed by the Company. |
High Performance Computing (HPC) | Advanced computing capability that allows for rapid data processing and complex calculations at exceptionally high speeds, essential for handling large datasets and complex computational tasks. |
Hosting | A service in which a company provides infrastructure, power, and cooling solutions to house and operate cryptocurrency mining equipment owned by clients. |

25. GLOSSARY OF TERMS (Continued)
Terms | Definition |
Megawatt or MW | A megawatt is 1,000 kilowatts of electricity and, in the industry of cryptocurrency Mining, is typically a reference to the number of megawatts of electricity per hour that is available for use. |
Miners | ASICs used by the Company and third parties to perform Mining. |
Mining | Mining refers to the process of using specialized computer hardware, and in the case of the Company, ASICs, to perform mathematical calculations to confirm transactions and increase security for the BTC Blockchain. As a reward for their services, Bitcoin Miners collect transaction fees for the transactions they confirm, along with newly created BTC as Block Rewards. |
Mining Pool | A Mining Pool is a group of cryptocurrency Miners who pool their computational resources, or Hashrate, in order to increase the probability of finding a block on the BTC Blockchain. Mining Pools administer regular payouts to mitigate the risk of Miners operating for a prolonged period of time without finding a block. |
Network Difficulty | Network Difficulty is a unitless measure of how difficult it is to find a hash below a given target. The Bitcoin network protocol automatically adjusts Network Difficulty by changing the target every 2,016 blocks hashed based on the time it took for the total computing power used in Bitcoin Mining to solve the previous 2,016 blocks such that the average time to solve each block is ten minutes. |
Network Hashrate | Network Hashrate refers to the total global hashrate (and related computing power) used in Mining for a given cryptocurrency. |
Petahash or PH/s | One quadrillion (1,000,000,000,000,000) hashes or one thousand Terahash per second. |
SHA-256 | SHA stands for Secure Hash Algorithm. The SHA-256 algorithm was designed by the US National Security Agency and is the cryptographic hash function used within the Bitcoin network to validate transactions on the Bitcoin Blockchain. |
Terahash or TH/s | One trillion (1,000,000,000,000) hashes or one Terahash per second. |
