• 3168 Bitmine Antminer T21 in Garlock (Quebec);

In the II quarter of 2024, Bitfarms plans to connect more than 5000 T21 setups at three facilities, including Paso Pe in Paraguay.

“As we deployed an additional 30,000 miners this quarter, we expect rapid growth in both our hash rate and energy efficiency, while at the same time achieving our goals of 12 EH/s and 21 EH/s in 2024,” said mining director Ben Gagnon.

Currently, Bitfarms mines Bitcoin at 11 facilities in Canada, the USA, Paraguay, and Argentina. The company predominantly aims to use renewable energy sources.

In March, Bitfarms utilized an option to purchase 19,280 T21 setups at a price of $14 per TH/s. The order also included 3888 Antminer S21 and 740 units of S21 hydro at $17.5 per TH/s.

It is worth reminding that in November 2023, the company acquired a batch of 35,888 T21 setups for $95.5 million from Bitmain.
