NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except data relating to number of PPE, shares, warrants, options and digital assets - unaudited) |
NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Bitfarms Ltd. was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on October 11, 2018 and continued under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on August 27, 2021. The consolidated financial statements of the corporation comprise the accounts of Bitfarms Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Company” or “Bitfarms”). The common shares of the Company are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market and the Toronto Stock Exchange (Nasdaq/TSX: BITF). Its registered office is located at 110 Yonge Street, Suite 1601, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5C 1T4.
The activities of the Company are mainly comprised of selling its computational power used for hashing calculations for the purpose of cryptocurrency mining in multiple jurisdictions as described in Note 24 “Geographical Information”. The Company’s operations are currently located in Canada, the United States, Argentina and Paraguay. Volta, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, assists the Company in building and maintaining its data centers and provides electrician services to both commercial and residential customers in Quebec.
Bitfarms owns and operates data centers housing computers (referred to as “Miners”) designed for the purpose of validating transactions on the Bitcoin Blockchain (referred to as “Mining”). Bitfarms generally operates its Miners 24 hours per day to produce computational power used for hashing calculations (measured by hashrate) that Bitfarms sells to a Mining pool operator under a formula-driven rate commonly known in the industry as Full Pay Per Share (“FPPS”). Under FPPS, Mining pool operators compensate Mining companies for their computational power used for hashing calculations, measured through hashrate, based on what the Mining pool operator would expect to generate in revenue for a given time period if there was no randomness involved. The fee paid by a Mining pool operator to Bitfarms for its computational power used for hashing calculations may be in cryptocurrency, U.S. dollars, or another currency. However, the fees are generally paid to the Company on a daily basis in BTC (as defined below). Bitfarms accumulates the cryptocurrency fees it receives or exchanges them for U.S. dollars through reputable and established cryptocurrency trading platforms.

NOTE 2: LIQUIDITY
Bitfarms is primarily engaged in the Bitcoin Mining industry, a highly volatile industry subject to significant inherent risk. Declines in the market prices of cryptocurrencies, an increase in the difficulty of BTC mining, delays in the delivery of Mining equipment, changes in the regulatory environment and adverse changes in other inherent risks can significantly and negatively impact the Company’s operations and cash flows and its ability to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations. Adverse changes to the factors mentioned above have impacted the recoverability of the Company’s digital assets and property, plant and equipment (“PPE”), resulting in impairment losses being recorded.
The Company’s current operating budget and future estimated cash flows indicate that the Company will generate positive cash flow in excess of the Company’s cash commitments within the twelve-month period following the date these interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance (the “twelve-month period”). These analyses are based on BTC market factors including price, difficulty and network hashrate for the twelve-month period.
A BTC Halving event is scheduled to occur once every 210,000 blocks, or roughly every four years, until the total amount of BTC rewards issued reaches 21 million, which is expected to occur around 2140. The most recent BTC Halving event occurred on April 19, 2024, at which time BTC block rewards decreased from 6.25 BTC per block to 3.125 BTC per block. Once 21 million BTC are generated, the network will stop producing more BTC, and the industry will then need to rely on transaction fees and/or other sources of revenue. While BTC prices have had a history of significant fluctuations around BTC Halving events, there is no guarantee that the price change will be favorable or would compensate for the reduction in Mining rewards and the compensation from Mining Pools. Similar to past BTC Halvings events, the BTC price did not have an immediate favorable impact after the BTC Halving that occurred on April 19, 2024. It took approximately six months for the Company’s revenue per terahash to return to the level experienced prior to the May 2020 BTC Halving event. Since the BTC halving on April 19, 2024, revenue per terahash has not yet returned to pre-halving levels.
At current BTC prices, the Company’s existing cash resources and the proceeds from sales of its BTC treasury and BTC earned may not be sufficient to fund capital investments to fully support its growth objectives. If the proceeds from the sale of BTC are not sufficient, the Company would be required to raise additional funds from external sources to meet these requirements. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such additional funds on acceptable terms, if at all.
If the Company raises additional funds by issuing securities, existing shareholders’ ownership in the Company may be diluted. If the Company is unable to obtain financing, including by issuing securities, or if funds from operations and proceeds from sales of the Company’s BTC holdings are negatively impacted by the BTC price, the Company may have difficulty meeting its payment obligations.

NOTE 3: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
| a. | Basis of preparation and measurement |
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements (“Financial Statements”) of the Company comprise the accounts of Bitfarms Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) on November 12, 2024.
These Financial Statements do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023.
These Financial Statements have been prepared under the same accounting policies used in the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, except for new accounting standards issued and adopted by the Company which are described below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently by the Company’s entities and to all periods presented in these Financial Statements, unless otherwise indicated.
The Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments and digital assets recorded at fair value, and assets held for sale measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

NOTE 3: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (Continued)
| b. | New accounting amendments issued and adopted by the Company |
The following amendments to existing standards were adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2024:
Amendments to IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”)
Amendments to IFRS 16 require a seller-lessee to subsequently measure lease liabilities arising from a leaseback in a manner that does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right-of-use retained. The new requirements do not prevent a seller-lessee from recognizing in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of a lease.
Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of the Financial Statements (“IAS 1”)
Amendments to IAS 1 clarify how to classify debt and other liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments help to determine whether, in the interim consolidated statements of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current (due or potentially due to be settled within one year) or non-current. The amendments also include clarifying the classification requirements for debt that an entity might settle by converting into equity.
Amendments to IAS 1 specify that covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. Instead, the amendments require information about these covenants be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows (“IAS 7”) and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”)
Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 introduce disclosure requirements to enhance the transparency of supplier finance arrangements and their effects on an entity’s liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk.
The adoption by the Company of the amendments listed above did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.
| c. | New accounting amendments and standard issued to be adopted at a later date |
The following amendments to existing standards have been issued and are applicable to the Company for its annual period beginning on January 1, 2025, with an earlier application permitted:
Amendments to IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (“IAS 21”)
Amendments to IAS 21 require an entity to apply a consistent approach in assessing whether a currency can be exchanged into another currency and, when it cannot, in determining the exchange rate to use and the disclosures to provide.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the amendments on the Company’s Financial Statements.

| c. | New accounting amendments and standard issued to be adopted at a later date (Continued) |
The following amendments to existing standards have been issued and are applicable to the Company for its annual period beginning on January 1, 2026, with an earlier application permitted:
Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) and IFRS 7
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 clarify that financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized and derecognized at settlement date except for regular way purchases or sales of financial assets and financial liabilities meeting conditions for the new exception. The new exception permits companies to elect to derecognize certain financial liabilities settled via electronic payment systems earlier than the settlement date.
These amendments also provide guidelines to assess contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets, which apply to all contingent cash flows, including those arising from environmental, social, and governance (ESG)-linked features.
In addition, the amendments for investments in equity instruments reported at fair value through other comprehensive income require separately disclosing the fair value gain or loss for investments derecognized in the period and investments held. The amendments added disclosure requirements for financial instruments with contingent features that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows that do not relate directly to basic lending risks and costs.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the amendments on the Company’s Financial Statements.
The following new standard has been issued and is applicable to the Company for its annual period beginning on January 1, 2027, with an earlier application permitted:
IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”)
On April 9, 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board issued IFRS 18, the new standard on presentation and disclosure in financial statements, which will replace IAS 1, with a focus on updates to the statement of profit or loss. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to:
| ● | The structure of the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals; |
| ● | Required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity’s financial statements (i.e., management-defined performance measures); and |
| ● | Enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general. |
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new standard on the Company’s Financial Statements.

NOTE 3: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (Continued)
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company identified errors in its accounting for warrants issued in connection with certain private placement financings in 2021. The warrants and broker warrants are convertible for a fixed number of common shares of the Company but have a contingent cashless exercise clause which results in a classification of the warrants and broker warrants as a financial liability and measurement of such warrants at fair value through profit or loss, not equity.
The effects of the restatement on the affected financial statement line items for the prior period are as follows:

NOTE 4: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Financial Statements requires Bitfarms’ management team (“Management”) to undertake judgments, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. These estimates and judgments are based on Management’s best knowledge of the events or circumstances and actions the Company may take in the future. The actual results may differ from these assumptions and estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to assumptions and estimates are recognized in the period in which the assumption or estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The significant judgements made by Management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the audited annual consolidated financial statements for year ended December 31, 2023, except for the following:
Property, plant and equipment
Estimates of useful lives, residual values and methods of depreciation are reviewed annually. Any changes based on additional available information are accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.
During the first quarter of 2024, in connection with the replacement of older Miners following the Company’s transformative fleet upgrade as described in Note 10 - Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company reviewed and adjusted the useful lives, residual values and method of depreciation of older Miners that will be replaced by the new fleet in 2024.
For these Miners, the depreciation was accelerated to bring the book value to the estimated recoverable value at the time they are expected to be replaced. The residual values were adjusted to reflect the expected proceeds from the eventual sale and the depreciation method was modified from sum-of-years to straight-line method.

NOTE 9: IMPAIRMENT
2024 impairment loss
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $3,628 of impairment on assets held for sale. Refer to Note 8 for more details.
2023 impairment loss
Impairment on short-term prepaid deposits during the second quarter of 2023
In 2022, the Company entered into agreements with external import brokers to be able to proceed with the importation of its miners into Argentina. Under the agreements, the Company was required to make advance deposits to the external import brokers, which were classified as short-term prepaid deposits on the consolidated statements of financial position. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company decided to terminate the importation agreements with the external import brokers as of June 30, 2023.
The Company assumed the cost of terminating the importation agreements with the brokers in order to execute its new importation strategy, resulting in the Company forgoing a deposits balance of $6,982. Accordingly, during the second quarter of 2023, the Company impaired $6,982 of short-term prepaid deposits. This impairment is presented in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and comprehensive profit or loss under Impairment on short-term prepaid deposits, equipment and construction prepayments, property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets.
Impairment on mineral assets during the second quarter of 2023
The Suni mineral asset was acquired in connection with the reverse acquisition of Bitfarms Ltd (Israel) on April 12, 2018, and its value at the time was estimated at $9,000 based on an independent appraiser’s valuation. Suni is an iron ore deposit located in Canada that was held by the acquiree. Since its acquisition, following the presence of impairment indicators, the Suni mineral asset was written down to a net book value of $3,000 as of December 31, 2022.
During the second quarter of 2023, in connection with the planned disposal of the Suni mineral asset, Management tested the cash-generating unit for impairment, resulting in a further impairment charge of $3,000 and reducing the carrying amount to nil. This impairment charge is presented in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and comprehensive profit or loss under Impairment on short-term prepaid deposits, equipment and construction prepayments, property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets. On July 27, 2023, the Company sold the Suni mineral asset for a nominal amount to a third party.

NOTE 10: PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (Continued)
Changes in the useful life, residual value and depreciation method of certain BVVE
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company exercised its purchase option for 28,000 Bitmain T21 Miners and entered into purchase agreements to acquire 19,280 Bitmain T21 Miners, 3,888 Bitmain S21 Miners and 740 Bitmain S21 hydro Miners. Refer to Note 12 for more details. The Company intends to liquidate its older Miners that are expected to be replaced with the Bitmain T21 Miners, Bitmain S21 Miners, Bitmain S21 hydro Miners and other hydro Miners. Refer to Note 8 for more details about the Miners held for sale.
| ii. | Accelerated depreciation |
The older Miners will remain in service until the new Miners are installed to replace them. The Company has changed the usage and the retention strategy of the older Miners and, accordingly, revised their specific useful life, residual value and depreciation method.
The changes are summarized as follows:
| ● | decreasing the specific useful life of the older Miners from five years to two years to reflect their eventual disposal in 2024; |
| ● | decreasing the residual values to reflect the expected proceeds from the eventual disposals; and |
| ● | accelerating the depreciation method from sum-of-years over five years to straight-line method over two years to represent the change in pattern in which their future economic benefits are expected to be consumed by the Company. |
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded accelerated depreciation of $9,921 and $74,579, respectively, on its older Miners. These assets are expected to be depreciated to their residual values by the end of 2024.
The decision to replace the older Miners, as well as a review of the useful life, residual value and depreciation method were indicators for impairment testing during the first quarter of 2024. As a result, the Company performed evaluations of the recoverable amount of the assets for operating the data centers separately in Quebec, Washington State, Argentina and Paraguay. Based on its calculations, which were based on discounted cash flow models, the Company determined that no impairment loss should be recorded.

Additions related to access rights to electricity
In April 2023, the Company received approval from the power supplier in Washington State for a 6 MW expansion. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company began constructing an additional data center on Company-owned land and paid $912 to the power supplier for establishing the connection, which was capitalized as long-term deposits, equipment, prepayments and other. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the power supplier established the electricity connection, allowing the Company to access the 6 MW of hydro power capacity. As a result, the balance of $912 was reclassified from long-term deposits, equipment, prepayments and other to intangible assets.

In December 2022, the Company renegotiated its previous purchase agreements for 48,000 Miners by extinguishing the outstanding commitments of $45,350 without penalty and establishing a $22,376 credit for deposits previously made. The Company received $3,279 of Miners, reducing the outstanding credit balance to $19,097 at December 31, 2022, which was fully utilized during 2023 for the acquisition of hydro Miners and hydro containers. These items were received during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the long-term deposit balance was reduced to nil upon the transfer to property, plant and equipment.
| ii. | Bitmain T21 Miners Purchase Order and Purchase Option |
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company placed a firm purchase order for approximately 35,888 Bitmain T21 Miners (the “Purchase Order’’) totaling $95,462 with deliveries scheduled from March 2024 to June 2024 and made a non-refundable deposit of $9,464. In addition, the Company secured a purchase option for approximately an additional 28,000 Bitmain T21 Miners (the “Purchase Option’’) totaling $74,480 and made a non-refundable deposit of $7,448. This Purchase Option gives the Company the right, exercisable until December 31, 2024, but not the obligation, to purchase up to 28,000 additional Bitmain T21 Miners. The total hashrate from the Miners received should correspond to the total hashrate specified in the initial agreements. The quantity of Miners received may vary based on the individual specifications of each Miner.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company fully exercised the Purchase Option with deliveries scheduled for September and October 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company made additional deposits of $145,050 towards the Purchase Order, of which approximately 44,600 Bitmain T21 Miners with a book value of $118,386 were received or in transit. As of September 30, 2024, the deposit balance for the Purchase Order and the Purchase Option was $43,576.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company purchased approximately an additional 19,280 Bitmain T21 Miners, 3,888 Bitmain S21 Miners and 740 Bitmain S21 Hydro Miners (collectively defined as the “March 2024 Purchase Order’’) for $51,285, $13,608 and $4,338, respectively, with deliveries scheduled from April 2024 to November 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company made deposits of $44,649 towards the March 2024 Purchase Order, of which approximately 4,000 Bitmain S21 Miners with a book value of $13,608 were received. As of September 30, 2024, the deposit balance for the March 2024 Purchase Order was $31,041. The total hashrate from the Miners received should correspond to the total hashrate specified in the initial agreements. The quantity of Miners received may vary based on the individual specifications of each Miner.
| iv. | Other BVVE and electrical components |
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had deposits for other BVVE and electrical components in the amount of $15,149.
| v. | Construction work and materials |
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had deposits for construction work and materials in the amount of $13,137, mainly for the Paraguay and USA expansions.
On September 13, 2024, the Company entered into a Miner hosting agreement (the "Hosting Agreement") with Stronghold Digital Mining Hosting, LLC, a subsidiary of Stronghold Digital Mining, Inc. ("Stronghold") In connection with the execution of the Hosting Agreement, the Company deposited $7,800 with Stronghold (“Refundable deposit”), equal to the estimated cost of power for three months of operations of the Company's Miners, which will be paid in full to the Company within one business day from the end of the initial term expiring on December 31, 2025. This Refundable deposit bears an annual interest rate at Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") + 1% (the "annual interest rate"). The Refundable deposit is recorded as a financial asset and recorded at fair value on initial recognition based on the contractual right to receive only the Refundable deposit plus interest at the end of the term. The annual interest rate is lower than the rate used in determining the fair value, resulting in the deposit being recorded at a fair value of $7,125 upon initial recognition. Subsequently, the Refundable deposit is recorded at amortized cost. Refer to Note 19 for more details.

NOTE 12: LONG-TERM DEPOSITS, EQUIPMENT PREPAYMENTS, COMMITMENTS AND OTHER (Continued)
As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s total remaining payment obligations in connection with the Purchase Option and the March 2024 Purchase Order was $31,912 and was fully paid in October 2024.
As described in Note 26, the Company amended the Purchase Option and March 2024 Purchase Order on November 12, 2024 and has payment obligations of $33,200, which is due during the fourth quarter of 2024.
If the Company is unable to meet its payment obligations, it could result in the loss of equipment prepayments and deposits paid by the Company under the Purchase Order and remedial legal measures against the Company. This may result in damages payable by the Company and forced continuance of the contractual arrangement. Under such circumstances, the Company’s growth plans and ongoing operations could be adversely impacted.
In 2021, the Company imported Miners into Washington State that the vendor located in China claimed originated in Malaysia. In early 2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection challenged the origination of the Miners, asserting that the Miners were manufactured in China, and notified the Company of a potential assessment of a U.S. importation duty of 25%.
During the third quarter of 2023, the Company submitted supporting documentation to U.S. Customs and Border Protection in defense of its position that the Miners were manufactured outside China and the associated custom duties in the amount of $9,424 do not apply. While the final outcome of this matter is uncertain at this time, Management has determined it is not probable that it will result in a future cash outflow for the Company and, as such, no provision was recorded as of September 30, 2024.

NOTE 15: LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)
In March 2024, the Company sold its Garlock building in Sherbrooke, Quebec for $1,695 and immediately leased it back for 10 years. Since the lease agreement included a substantive repurchase option of the building in a form of a call option, the Company has not transferred the control of the asset to the buyer, and the transaction does not qualify as a sale. Accordingly, it is accounted for as a financing arrangement for the proceeds received from the buyer, and the building continues to be recognized as property, plant and equipment of the Company.
| b. | Equipment financing activity |
Repayment of NYDIG Loan
In June 2022, Backbone entered into an equipment financing agreement, referred to as the “NYDIG Loan”, for gross proceeds of $36,860 collateralized by 10,395 WhatsMiner M30S Miners. The net proceeds received by the Company were $36,123, net of origination and closing fees of $737. As part of the agreement, the Company was required to maintain in a segregated wallet an approximate quantity of BTC whose value equates to at least one month of interest and principal payments on the outstanding loan. The pledged BTC was held in a segregated Coinbase Custody account and owned by the Company unless there was an event of default under the NYDIG Loan.
During the first quarter of 2024, the NYDIG Loan balance was fully repaid, and the Company’s Miners collateralizing the loan and BTC pledged as collateral became unencumbered.
Repayment of Foundry Loans #2, #3 and #4
In April and May 2021, the Company entered into four loan agreements for the acquisition of 2,465 WhatsMiner Miners referred to as “Foundry Loans #1, #2, #3 and #4.” During 2022, Foundry Loan #1 matured and was fully repaid. In January 2023, the principal amounts of the remaining Foundry Loans #2, #3 and #4 were fully repaid before their maturity date with forgiveness of prepayment penalties totaling $829.
Settlement of the loan with BlockFi Lending LLC (“BlockFi”)
In February 2022, Backbone Mining entered into an equipment financing agreement for gross proceeds of $32,000 collateralized by 6,100 Bitmain S19j Pro Miners referred to as the “BlockFi Loan”. The net proceeds received by the Company were $30,994 after capitalizing origination, closing and other transaction fees of $1,006.
In December 2022, Backbone Mining ceased making installment payments, which constituted a default under the loan agreement, and the BlockFi Loan was classified as current.
On February 8, 2023, BlockFi and the Company negotiated a settlement of the loan in its entirety with a then- outstanding debt balance of $20,330 for cash consideration of $7,750, discharging Backbone Mining of all further obligations and resulting in a gain on extinguishment of long-term debt of $12,580 recognized in Net financial (expenses) income in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and comprehensive profit or loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Upon settlement, all of Backbone Mining’s assets, including the 6,100 Miners collateralizing the loan, were unencumbered.

NOTE 17: INCOME TAXES
Deferred taxes
Deferred taxes are computed at a tax rate of 26.5% based on tax rates expected to apply at the time of realization. Deferred taxes relate primarily to the timing differences on recognition of expenses relating to the depreciation of fixed assets, loss carryforwards and professional fees relating to the Company’s equity activity that are recorded as a reduction of equity.
As at September 30, 2024, the Company has analyzed the recoverability of its deferred tax assets and has concluded that it is not more likely than not that sufficient taxable profit is expected to utilize these deferred tax assets.

| iv. | Shareholder rights plan |
On June 10, 2024, the Board approved a shareholder rights plan (the “June 2024 Rights Plan”). On July 24, 2024, the Capital Markets Tribunal of the Ontario Securities Commission issued an order to cease trading any securities issued, or that may be issued, in connection with or pursuant to the June 2024 Rights plan. Also on July 24, 2024, the Board approved the adoption of a new shareholder rights plan (the “July 2024 Rights Plan”), pursuant to which one right (a “Right”) will be issued and attached to each common share outstanding as at August 6, 2024 (the “Record Time”). A Right will also be attached to each common share issued after the Record Time. Subject to the terms of the July 2024 Rights Plan, the Rights become exercisable if a person (the “Acquiring Person”), along with certain related persons (including persons “acting jointly or in concert” as defined in the July 2024 Rights Plan), acquires or announces its intention to acquire 20% or more of the common shares without complying with the “Permitted Bid” provisions of the July 2024 Rights Plan. Following a transaction that results in a person becoming an Acquiring Person, the Rights entitle the holder thereof to purchase common shares at a significant discount to the market price. The July 2024 Rights Plan is subject to the acceptance of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) and shareholder ratification within six months of its adoption. The TSX has notified the Company that the TSX will defer its consideration of the acceptance of the July 2024 Rights Plan until (a) such time as it is satisfied that the appropriate securities commission will not intervene pursuant to National Policy 62-202 and (b) the July 2024 Rights Plan is ratified by the shareholders of the Company by no later than January 24, 2025. A deferral of acceptance of the July 2024 Rights Plan by the TSX will not affect the adoption or operation of the July 2024 Rights Plan. The Board has recommended that shareholders of the Company ratify the July 2024 Rights Plan at the Company’s upcoming special meeting of shareholders to be held on November 20, 2024.
On August 27, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to lease an industrialized site in Sharon, Pennsylvania and issued 1,532,745 common shares with a total value of $3,000 as a non-refundable deposit. Refer to Note 16 for more details.

| | | | | | | | | | |
Net carrying amount and fair value | | | | | 41,411 | | | | 33,197 | |
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, other receivables, Refundable deposit, trade payables and accrued liabilities, and long-term debt presented in the table above are a reasonable approximation of their fair value.
BTC option contracts
The fair value of option contracts is categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and is presented under derivative assets and liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position when there is an outstanding contract at period end. Their fair values are a recurring measurement. Fair value of derivative financial instruments generally reflects the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay, taking into consideration the counterparty credit risk or the Company’s credit risk at each reporting date. The Company uses market data such as BTC option futures to estimate the fair value of option contracts at each reporting date.
Warrant liabilities
Warrant liabilities related to the 2021 and 2023 private placements are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss with the change in fair value recorded to Net financial income. The fair value measurement is categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, is a recurring measurement and is calculated using a Black-Scholes pricing model at each reporting date. Refer to Note 14 for more details.

NOTE 19: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Refundable deposit
The Refundable deposit is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. It is classified as Level 2 according to the Company’s fair value hierarchy. The valuation technique used is the income approach (discounted future cash flows) with an effective interest rate of 12% over a 16-month period, which is greater than the SOFR + 1% rate in the Hosting Agreement, resulting in the deposit being issued at a fair value of $7,125 which is lower than the $7,800 principal amount. Upon initial recognition, the difference between the fair value and principal of $675 was recognized as a loss in Net financial income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Refer to Note 12 for more details.

NOTE 23: ADDITIONAL DETAILS TO THE STATEMENT OF PROFIT OR LOSS AND COMPREHENSIVE PROFIT OR LOSS (Continued)
| a. | Electrical component inventory |
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the cost of electrical component inventory recognized as an expense and included in cost of revenues was $1,085 and $2,060, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2023: $681 and $1,521, respectively).
| b. | Canadian sales tax refund |
In April 2024, the Company received confirmation from the provincial tax authorities that Canadian sales taxes paid by the Company from February 5, 2022 onwards are refundable. Between February 5, 2022, the date on which the new crypto currency sales tax legislation came into effect, and April 2024, the Company filed monthly sales tax refund claims totaling approximately $24,400 (CAD$33,000) that were not paid to the Company, pending the finalization of the aforementioned legislation. The refund of sales taxes relates to sales taxes charged on various expenditures including, but not limited to, electricity costs, cost of property, plant and equipment, professional services, etc. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the $24,400 sales tax claims were refunded by the Canadian tax authorities.
In addition to not receiving its Canadian sales tax refund claims, the Company was self-assessing sales taxes payable when appropriate. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company reversed $9,560 of government remittances previously included in PPE and accrued in trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities, as disclosed in Note 13. Of this amount, $5,360 was recorded as a decrease to cost of revenues, $520 was recorded as a decrease to general and administrative expense and $3,680 was recorded as a decrease to PPE.
During the second quarter of 2024, sales tax recoveries of $22,200 for previous years (i.e., 2022 and 2023) and $2,200 for the period of January to April 2024 were recognized and presented as direct adjustments in their respective expense and asset categories.
| c. | Gain on disposition of marketable securities |
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company funded its expansion in Argentina through the acquisition of marketable securities and the in-kind contribution of those securities to the Company’s subsidiary in Argentina. The subsequent disposition of those marketable securities in exchange for ARS gave rise to a gain as the amount received in ARS exceeded the amount of ARS the Company would have received from a direct foreign currency exchange.
| d. | Provision income (expense) on VAT receivable |
Due to the political and economic uncertainties in Argentina, the Company is uncertain when, or if at all, the Argentine VAT receivable will be settled. As a result, the Company recorded a provision to reduce the Argentine VAT receivable to nil starting in the fourth quarter of 2023. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the provision expense is classified within the respective expense and asset categories. Prior to October 1, 2023, the Argentine VAT not expected to be settled within the next 12 months was classified as a long-term receivable in Note 12 with the short-term portion included in sales tax receivable in Note 5.

Scrubgrass Hosting Agreement
In October 2024, the Company entered into a second hosting agreement with Stronghold (“Scrubgrass Hosting Agreement”). The Company will accelerate the deployment of 10,000 Bitmain S21 Pro Miners at Stronghold’s Scrubgrass site.
The Scrubgrass Hosting Agreement commenced on November 1, 2024, and continues for an initial term expiring on December 31, 2025, after which it will automatically renew for additional one-year periods unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal. Pursuant to the Scrubgrass Hosting Agreement, Bitfarms will pay Stronghold a monthly fee equal to fifty percent of the profit generated by the Bitfarms miners, subject to certain monthly adjustments between the parties to account for the upfront monthly payment due from Bitfarms to Stronghold and for taxes and the net cost of power associated with the operation of the Bitfarms Miners.
In connection with the execution of the Scrubgrass Hosting Agreement, Bitfarms also deposited with Stronghold $7,800, equal to the estimated cost of power for three months of operations of the Bitfarms miners, which will be refundable in full to Bitfarms within one business day of the end of the initial term expiring on December 31, 2025.
Bitmain Contract Amendment
On November 12, 2024, the Company amended the Purchase Option and the March 2024 Purchase Order and upgraded 18,853 Bitmain T21 Miners to 18,853 Bitmain S21 Pro Miners for an additional amount of $33,200. The Miners are expected to be delivered in December 2024 and January 2025.
