Canadian bitcoin mining firm Bitfarms (BITF) has entered into a multi-million dollar agreement for a private placement of shares with institutional investors, marking the firm’s third financing sale in a month.
- According to a press release on Monday, the firm expects gross proceeds of around CAD$40 million (US$31.3 million) via the sale in the U.S. of 11,560,695 common shares, alongside the option to buy another tranche of the same amount of common shares, all at the price of CAD$3.46 (US$ 2.71) per share.
- The net proceeds of the private placement will be put towards the acquisition of additional miners, expanding infrastructure and growing working capital, according to the company.

- The private placement is expected to close on Wednesday pending approval by Calgary-based TSX Venture Exchange.
