According to the stated data, the transaction amount will be about $95.5 million. Equipment delivery is expected in March-May 2024.
Bitfarms also received an option to purchase an additional 28,000 Antminer T21.
After deploying the purchased installations, the company expects to increase the hashrate to 12 EH/s with an installed capacity of 310 MW in the first half of 2024. By the end of the year, the figures should reach 17 EH/s and 391 MW, respectively.
According to Bitfarms President and CEO Jeff Morphy, “the most attractive prices for equipment since 2020” allowed the company to launch a comprehensive program to modernize the company’s miner fleet. The average energy efficiency of the firm’s equipment should rise to 23 W/TH as a result, he added.
Bitmain introduced Antminer T21 in October. The installation is slightly inferior in hashrate and energy consumption to the flagship S21 announced in August.
To partially finance the purchase of equipment, Bitfarms will use 60 million Canadian dollars ($44.1 million at the time of writing), raised as a result of an additional private placement of shares.
