Following the <strong>Bitcoin<\/strong> halved on April 19, the firm blamed lesser block rewards on the income drop. With miners now obtaining 3.125 BTC each mined block, down from the previous 6.25 BTC, this event cut mining payouts by 50%.<\/p>\n<p>The business also revealed running losses of $23.6 million, including $46 million in accelerated depreciation on outdated mining equipment. Bitfarms extracted 614 BTC in the second quarter, worth around $37 million at current market values. But from $27,900 in the first quarter, the whole cash cost of manufacturing climbed sharply to $47,300 per BTC.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strategic_Growth_and_Future_Outlook\"><\/span>Strategic Growth and Future Outlook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Investing over $240 million to improve its mining capacity and add 88,000 additional miners, <strong>Bitfarms<\/strong> has been aggressively modernizing its operations. Comparatively to 189 BTC ($11 million) in June, the business stated in July a 34% month-on- month growth in <strong>Bitcoin<\/strong> profits, producing 243 BTC ($14 million).<\/p>\n<p>From 6.5 EH\/s, the company&#8217;s hashrate also experienced a notable rise to 11.1 EH\/s. Gagnon pointed out that the new Sharon, PA Bitfarms location will assist to increase the hashrate in 2025 even further. \u201cThis site, in combination with our new megawatts in South America, positions Bitfarms to reach over 35 EH\/s in 2025, representing 67% growth from our year-end target of 21 EH\/s,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Looking forward, Gagnon underlined that <strong>Bitfarms<\/strong> would keep implementing its development plan with an eye on U.S. expansion and diversification outside of Bitcoin mining, therefore enabling ongoing success in the next years.<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also freely share your thoughts and comments about the topic in the comment section.
