Leading Bitcoin mining company, Bitfarms, has announced a significant increase in its Bitcoin production for June, following a comprehensive upgrade to its mining infrastructure. The company’s monthly production report revealed a 21% month-on-month rise in Bitcoin production, reaching 189 BTC in June, up from 156 BTC in May.
This boost in production comes despite temporary curtailments in Argentina and downtime associated with miner upgrades in Quebec. The company attributes the overall success to a combination of factors, including a slight decrease in network difficulty and the implementation of energy-efficient mining hardware.
Bitfarms also reported a substantial enhancement in its hashrate, increasing by 39% to 10.4 EH/s by the end of June. This improvement is a result of strategic upgrades to its facilities, aimed at expanding hashrate and optimizing energy efficiency.
In addition to production increases, Bitfarms is making strides in its strategic expansion efforts. The company recently secured a 120 MW site in Sharon, Pennsylvania, for High Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications.
Bitfarms continues to navigate ongoing discussions with competitor Riot Platforms, who currently hold approximately 15% of Bitfarms shares. Riot has proposed a special shareholder meeting to nominate new independent directors to Bitfarm’s board.
Overall, Bitfarms’ impressive production increase and strategic initiatives signal a positive trajectory for the company in the competitive Bitcoin mining landscape.
