Bitfarms completes land purchase for Paraguay facility

Mr. Geoff Morphy reports

BITFARMS PURCHASES LAND IN YGUAZU, PARAGUAY IN SUPPORT OF TRANSFORMATIVE FLEET UPGRADE & 2024 TARGET OF 21 EH/S

Bitfarms Ltd. has completed the purchase of land for its new 100-megawatt production facility in Yguazu, Paraguay.

"This transaction, an important step in our recently announced transformative fleet upgrade, expands our LATAM portfolio with low-cost renewable hydropower," said Geoff Morphy, president and chief executive officer of Bitfarms. "The newly acquired land is located in the heart of Paraguay near the Itaipu dam, the third-largest hydropower dam in the world with 14 gigawatts of installed capacity. Positioned to benefit from the region's abundant renewable energy resources, this new facility should be sustainable both economically and environmentally. Once Yguazu comes on-line, over 85 per cent of our portfolio will be powered by low-cost green energy that promotes environmentally sustainable bitcoin mining.

"We look forward to starting construction on the Yguazu farm and anticipate completing the facility's buildout in the second half of 2024. In conjunction with our miner redeployment strategy, the Yguazu project will be designed to help provide sufficient infrastructure to achieve a corporate hashrate of 21 exahashes/second by year-end 2024 should we exercise our recently announced miner purchase order option for additional Bitmain T21 miners.

"Bitfarms is dedicated to managing costs and driving returns for shareholders. This upgrade should deliver meaningful improvements in hashrate, energy efficiency and cost per bitcoin, positioning us well for the halving and to capture upside from rising bitcoin prices and mining economics," Mr. Morphy concluded.
