Bitfarms (BITF) has doubled its hashrate to over 2 exahash/second over the last eight months.

The milestone comes after installing 1,500 Bitmain S19j Pro miners earlier this month.

Miner update

Emiliano Grodzki, Bitfarms’ Founder and CEO, stated,

“Bitfarms reached the important milestone of 2 EH/s in a mere eight months compared to the 3 years and 10 months that it took us to attain 1 EH/s. Doubling our corporate hashrate in a matter of months is a tremendous accomplishment. This is a testament to the incredible operations teams Bitfarms and our wholly-owned electrical engineering subsidiary, Volta Électrique, have developed over the last four years of continuous operation. Doing so at the same time that the Bitcoin network has only grown approximately 12 per cent means that Bitfarms has accumulated a larger share of the network hashrate and Bitcoin mining rewards.

In 2022, we expect to ramp our hashrate even faster. Bitfarms is already one of the largest Bitcoin miners, not just in North America, but globally. As we continue to execute on our expansion plans, we expect to continue to outpace Bitcoin network growth to drive even higher Bitcoin production numbers throughout 2022.”

Bitfarms is a vertically integrated global Bitcoin mining company.

Bitfarms (BITF) is up by 3.73 per cent and is currently trading at $11.13 per share as of 9:30 am ET.
