Bitfarms Announces the Deployment of 1,000 Whatsminer Rigs and the Acquisition of 3,000 Additional Miners, in line with Increasing Bitcoin Demand; Grant of Stock Options<\/b><\/p>\n

BROSSARD, Qu\u00e9bec–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Bitfarms Ltd.<\/a> (\u201cBitfarms\u201d, or the \u201cCompany\u201d) (TSXV: BITF), one of the largest and most cost-effective public bitcoin mining operations in the world, recently deployed 1,000 new Whatsminer M31S mining rigs, and placed an order for an additional 3,000 Whatsminer M31S+ miners scheduled for delivery in late February 2021, to significantly boost computing power and drive the rapid growth of the global decentralized financial economy.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe 1,000 new M31S miners were deployed last week at one of Bitfarms\u2019 high-power data centres, adding 74 petahash (\u201cPH\u201d) of computing power, thus increasing Bitfarms\u2019 total operating hashrate to over 965 PH.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe addition of 3,000 new WhatsMiner M31S+ miners, when deployed, will increase Bitfarms\u2019 output to over 1.2 exahash (\u201cEH\u201d), a significant step towards Bitfarms\u2019 previously announced corporate target of 3 EH.\n<\/p>\n

\nDemand for Bitcoin has never been higher, with the price recently topping US$24,000. By providing the computing power needed to produce new Bitcoin, miners such as Bitfarms are providing an essential service to the global decentralized financial economy.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe Bitcoin mining sector has been tremendously exciting following the increase of Bitcoin prices since early October, and in particular thanks to the unprecedented peaks in price we\u2019ve seen over the last week. The role, we as bitcoin miners have to play in this industry, is completely essential, and it is with great excitement that we are able to announce this expansion to our computing power,\u201d said Emiliano Grodzki, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Bitfarms.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe addition of over 6,000 new generation miners over the past 6 months, combined with recent bitcoin price increase, has improved the Company\u2019s \u201cgross mining margin\u201d *<\/b> to approximately 68%.\n<\/p>\n

\nBy late February 2021, management forecasts computing power-to-electricity efficiency ratio to improve by 1.7%, from ~17.8 PH\/MW to ~18.1 PH\/MW. Bitfarms remains one of the largest and lowest cost producers of Bitcoin amongst publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies in the world.\n<\/p>\n

\nIn addition, Bitfarms announces the grant of 1,624,600 management incentive options to directors, officers, employees and consultants in accordance with the Company\u2019s Stock Option Plan. The options have a term of five years with an exercise price of $1.76 per share, and are subject to vesting requirements.\n<\/p>\n
