Bitfarms BTC Holdings Increase to Over 4,300 With Newest Purchase
The digital asset mining company now holds over 4,300 bitcoin as of January 10, 2022, which is a 30% increase on its previous holdings.
Bitfarms Founder Emiliano Grodzki commented on the purchase, explaining that “Our guiding company strategy at Bitfarms is to accumulate the most Bitcoin for the lowest cost and in the fastest amount of time for the benefit of our shareholders. To that end, we continually optimize our capital allocation. With the dip in BTC while mining hardware prices remain high, we seized the opportunity to move cash into BTC. We continue to be committed to executing our operational growth strategy and delivering our goal of 8 Exahash/second by the end of 2022.”
Bitfarms’ Previous Year

In 2021, Bitfarms mined a little over 3,000 BTC in total, of which 339 were produced in November and 363 in December.
Bitfarms Ltd. also added a $100 million bitcoin-backed credit facility at the end of 2021 with the help of a six-month term loan with an interest rate of 10.75%.
This purchase was made in collaboration with Galaxy Digital LLC.
