Full Year 2023 Results
- Earned 1,236 BTC in Q4 2023 and 4,928 BTC in 2023 -
- Improved Q4 2023 gross mining margin to 52%, up from 38% in Q3 2023 -
- Achieved debt-free goal in February 2024, enhancing financial flexibility -
- Executing towards targets of 12 EH/s and 25 w/TH

and 21 EH/s by end of 2024 -
Toronto, Ontario and Brossard, Québec (March 7, 2024) - Bitfarms Ltd. (Nasdaq/TSX: BITF), a global Bitcoin vertically integrated company, reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023. All financial references are in U.S. dollars.
“In 2023, we set the foundation to drive significant growth through our transformational fleet upgrade and mining facility expansion,” said Geoff Morphy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bitfarms. “To that end, we secured 35,888 ultra-efficient Bitmain T21 miners to be installed in the first half of 2024 and signed an option to purchase up to an additional 28,000 T21s for delivery in the second half 2024. Our 2024 plan targets tripling our hashrate to 21 EH/s, at least a 63% increase in operating capacity to 391 MW, and improving our fleet efficiency by 34% to 23 w/TH.”
“New farm development in Paraguay will drive much of this growth. In Yguazu, we purchased land for our 100 MW project in January 2024. In Paso Pe, the infrastructure and electrical equipment are nearly ready for us to begin installing Bitmain T21 and new hydro-miners at our 70 MW project, which we expect to begin energizing in March. In addition, we are actively evaluating the best use of capital to secure further low-cost production growth opportunities via miner redeployment, acquisitions, and farm development,” added Morphy.
Bitfarms’ Chief Financial Officer, Jeff Lucas, said, “In 2023, we strengthened our balance sheet and improved our liquidity, lowering our debt obligations from a peak of $165 million in June 2022 to fully debt free two weeks ago, except for our lease obligations. By further enhancing financial flexibility and liquidity, we can better support our aggressive growth plans for 2024.”

“Following a highly disciplined capital allocation strategy, we have locked in lower-cost electricity – fundamental to our long-term success – and eliminated debt to prepare for active business development in new and low-cost locations,” concluded Lucas.
Q4 2023 and Recent 2024 Operating Highlights
| ● | Increased hashrate by 7% to 6.5 EH/s at December 31, 2023, through the installation of 2,300 miners, compared to 6.1 EH/s at the end of Q3 2023. |
| ● | Installed 12 Bitmain T21 miners for testing in mid-February 2024 which outperformed the manufacturer’s specifications in both normal and high-energy modes. |
| ● | At Rio Cuarto, Argentina: |
| o | Installed ~ 600 MicroBT M50 WhatsMiners and 200 Bitmain S19j Pro+ Antminers, which increased capacity to 54 MW and added 0.1 EH/s, bringing the farm’s total hashrate to approximately 1.6 EH/s. |
| ● | At Paso Pe, Paraguay: |
| o | Amended the energy contract, adding 20 MW to the air-cooled warehouse portion of the project, increasing its operating capacity to 50 MW and the farm’s total capacity to 70 MW. |
| ● | At Yguazu, Paraguay: |
| o | In January, purchased land for development of an up to 100 MW hydro-powered facility. |
| o | In February, signed the engineering, procurement and construction contract for the substation and transmission line to energize the facility. |
| ● | At Baie-Comeau, Québec: |
| o | Cleared the site to house the 11 MW expansion planned for H2 2024 and poured the building’s concrete footings ahead of schedule. |

Q4 2023 Financial Highlights
(2022 comparisons as restated)
| ● | Total revenue was $46 million, an increase of 34% compared to $35 million in Q3 2023, as a 5% increase in BTC earned and 30% higher average BTC prices contributed to higher revenue. |
| ● | Gross mining profit* and gross mining margin* were $23 million and 52%, respectively, compared to $13 million and 38% in Q3 2023, respectively. |
| ● | General and administrative expenses were $13 million, up 12% from Q4 2022 and up 60% from Q3 2023. The increase from the third quarter reflects higher headcount to support the targeted infrastructure growth as well as one-time and recurring performance achievement payments, merit and market-based adjustments, and $4 million non-cash share-based payment expense. |
| ● | Operating loss of $13 million, which included a $1 million non-cash reversal of revaluation loss on digital assets and a $2 million non-cash impairment on impairment on PPE equipment. In Q4 2022, incurred a $20 million operating loss which included a $9 million non-cash impairment reversal, a $29 million realized loss on disposition of digital assets, and a $23 million non-cash reversal of revaluation loss on digital assets. |
| ● | Net loss of $57 million, or ($0.19) per basic and diluted share, which included a $38 million non-cash expense for revaluation of warrant liability issued in connection with 2021 and 2023 financing activities. This compares to a net loss of $13 million, or ($0.06) per basic and diluted share, in Q4 2022 which included $4 million of non-cash gain on revaluation of warrant liability. |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA* of $14 million, or 30% of revenue, compared to $2 million, or 7% of revenue, in Q4 2022, with the increase driven largely by the average BTC price approximately doubling the average BTC price in the prior year quarter. |
| ● | The Company earned 1,236 BTC at an average direct cost of production per BTC* of $16,200 compared to $16,900 in Q3 2023. |
| ● | Total cash cost of production per BTC* was $25,200 in Q4 2023, up from $22,700 in Q3 2023, reflecting one-time and non-recurring fixed operating expenses including infrastructure enhancement and compensation. |
Liquidity**
At December 31, 2023, the Company held $84 million in cash and 804 BTC valued at approximately $34 million based upon a BTC price at that time of approximately $42,300 for total liquidity** of $118 million.

Q4 2023 and Recent 2024 Financing Activities
| ● | Raised $41 million in net proceeds through a private placement in November 2023. |
| ● | Received $11 million in proceeds during December 2023 and $6 million in proceeds during 2024 from exercise of warrants issued in the November 2023 private placement. |
| ● | Eliminated debt as of February 29, 2024, paying down $6 million in equipment-related indebtedness in Q4 2023 and another $4 million in Q1 2024. |
| ● | Initiated the Synthetic HODL™ strategy with the purchase of 135 long-dated BTC call options held by the Company as of December 31, 2023. |

Non-IFRS Measures*
As a Canadian company, Bitfarms follows International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) which are issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB). Under IFRS rules, the Company does not reflect the revaluation gains on the mark-to-market of its Bitcoin holdings in its income statement. It also does not include the revaluation losses on the mark-to-market of its Bitcoin holdings in Adjusted EBITDA, which is a measure of the cash profitability of its operations and does not reflect the change in value of its assets and liabilities.
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure its operating activities’ financial performance and cash generating capability.
2022 Restatement
During the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company reassessed the application of IFRS Accounting Standards on the accounting for warrants issued in connection with private placement financings conducted in 2021 and, as such, restated (the “Restatement”) its consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022, its consolidated statements of profit or loss and comprehensive profit or loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 and its consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, which were previously filed on SEDAR+ and EDGAR. For further details, consult Note 3e of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, available on SEDAR+ and EDGAR. As described in the Annual MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2023, available on SEDAR+ and EDGAR, the Company is undertaking remediation efforts in light of the Restatement and in order to improve the overall effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting for the accounting of complex financial instruments.
