Bitfarms Ltd. (BITF), the Canadian cryptocurrency mining company, is seeing a quiet trading day on Monday, June 10th, 2024. As of this writing (10:25 PM PST), the stock price sits at CA$3.30, unchanged from the opening price.This follows a week of positive momentum for Bitfarms. The stock price has climbed 6.45% compared to last week and a significant 33.06% increase over the past month. Looking at the year-to-date performance, Bitfarms boasts an impressive 118.54% gain.
However, the recent news of a rejected acquisition offer from competitor Riot Platforms seems to be tempering any major price swings today. On May 29th, Riot proposed a $950 million buyout of Bitfarms, which the latter deemed "significantly undervalued".
While the acquisition is off the table for now, Riot did acquire a 9.25% stake in Bitfarms, becoming its largest shareholder. This move suggests Riot's continued interest in Bitfarms, and some investors might be watching the situation closely for further developments.
Overall, Bitfarms appears to be in a period of consolidation after its recent gains. It will be interesting to see how the company's stock price reacts in the coming days, especially considering the ongoing influence of the broader cryptocurrency market and any potential future actions from Riot Platforms.
