【ChainNews】Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin mining company Bitfarms has new developments. Recently, they reached a final purchase agreement with Sympatheia Power Fund, a crypto infrastructure fund under Hawksburn Capital in Singapore, to sell their Paso Pe mining farm for $30 million.

The transaction is conducted in two steps: $9 million will be paid upfront in the first quarter of this year, and the remaining $21 million will be paid gradually within 10 months after the closing. This deal marks Bitfarms’ official exit from the Latin American market and a shift towards adjusting its global mining layout. For the mining industry landscape, such asset transfer events reflect proactive adjustments by leading mining companies in response to market changes—not passive exit, but strategic reallocation.

Selling in the marketplace and still paying in installments? Feels not so satisfying... --- Latin American mining farms have been dropped, is this a preparation to withdraw or a real adjustment? --- $30 million paid over 10 months, cash flow pressure is still quite significant --- Strategic rebalancing sounds good, but honestly it’s just a run and restructuring --- Bitfarms’ recent moves seem like they’re making room for a bear market --- Huh, is Singapore taking over? Feels like Asian mining companies are bottom-fishing? --- Paying in installments over such a long period... Is the buyer really short on money or not optimistic about this mining farm? --- Top mining companies are taking action, retail investors are still bottom-fishing, the gap...

Speaking of this thing, I just want to laugh about Bitfarms selling the mining farm. $30 million paid in two steps... What kind of strategic adjustment is this? Isn't it just being forced to stop bleeding? Are Latin American mining farms so hot? Just sell it then, but $21 million paid over 10 months... Brother, does this buyer not have that much money either? It's another "strategic reallocation," just hearing this phrase tells you what's going on—breaking the cauldrons and sinking the boats. Selling Latin American mining farms for only $30 million bundled together? Feels a bit cheap, or maybe the mining farms aren't that valuable after all. I've never heard of this Singaporean fund, what is Hawksburn Capital up to? Bitfarms' move doesn't seem painful, but actually... you know what I mean.

This is a typical self-rescue script for mining companies, cutting off Latin America's hot potato... --- Uh, not good news, Latin America's mining cost advantage is gone. --- Strategic reallocation? Basically, it's cleaning up assets before fleeing. --- 90 million in cash is in place, but the rest will take another 10 months... This transaction logic is a bit confusing. --- Bitfarms' reaction to this move was too slow; why didn't they act earlier? --- Offshore funds taking over Latin American mines truly benefits both sides. --- Another mining company is adjusting... It seems the entire industry is undergoing a reshuffle.

Selling the mining farm for cashing out, a typical head and shoulders top pattern... claiming it's a strategic adjustment, but I see clearly it's a run at high levels.

$30 million to sell the mine, with a 10-month installment plan. This pace is a bit... strange. Selling the South American mine and shifting to a global reallocation sounds pretty high-end, but honestly, isn't it just escaping their electricity costs over there? Bitfarms' move seems to be well-calculated. By the way, is the Singapore fund reliable? Mining industry is like this—wherever costs are lower, that's where they go. Mining companies have no homeland, only electricity prices. Strategic reallocation? I think it looks more like being forced to cut losses, but it's still better than bankruptcy. Regarding the interest on this deal, $21 million over 10 months—how much does that make per month... has anyone calculated it? The era of selling mines has really arrived. It feels like big mining companies are all slimming down.

Oops, Bitfarms' move is quite deliberate Paso Pe mine was sold, but the key is the installment payment method... it takes 10 months to receive the full amount, familiar with this kind of tactic The Latin American market is quick to release, shifting focus back to global deployment, the mining companies are still clear-headed Compared to passive clearing, what is this? Strategic stop-loss or shifting focus? 30 million USD for a new layout, let's see if they can turn it around later

It's the old trick of sacrificing land to survive again. The nice way to put it is "strategic reallocation," but I think it's just a prelude to a run. A 30 million transfer of Latin American mines, paid off in ten months... this pace is really 😅. Bitfarms is probably forced out by electricity costs; they can't find cheap power in Latin America anymore. Another "proactive adjustment," just listen and pretend to understand. Who doesn't know the real reason? Mining companies are moving locations one after another, all seem to be fighting for cheap electricity, but in the end, even the cheap options are gone. This deal isn't very pleasant for anyone, but it's definitely better than having the mining rigs confiscated. Basically, they can't get electricity anymore, so they hurriedly sell off. 21 million in installments, Sympatheia is basically giving Bitfarms a blood transfusion. The mining industry is getting more and more competitive...
