Bitfarms has announced the sale of its Paso Pe site in Paraguay for up to $30 million, marking its complete exit from Latin America to focus on HPC/AI infrastructure in North America.
Bitfarms Ltd. (NASDAQ/TSX: BITF), a prominent North American energy and digital infrastructure company, has announced its strategic decision to exit the Latin American market by selling its 70 MW Paso Pe site in Paraguay. This move is part of Bitfarms’ broader strategy to focus its efforts and resources on expanding its high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure in North America, according to GlobeNewswire.
Strategic Sale and Reinvestment
The sale agreement, which involves the Sympatheia Power Fund (SPF), a Singapore-based crypto infrastructure fund managed by Hawksburn Capital, values the Paso Pe site at up to $30 million. Bitfarms is set to receive $9 million in cash at the closing of the transaction, expected in the first quarter of 2026, alongside up to $21 million over the following 10 months, contingent on certain milestones.
Bitfarms CEO Ben Gagnon expressed satisfaction with the sale, highlighting its role in rebalancing the company’s energy portfolio to be 100% North American. “This transaction accelerates our plans to reinvest capital into our North American HPC/AI energy infrastructure in 2026, where we anticipate stronger returns,” Gagnon stated.
Impact on Bitfarms’ Operations
With this sale, Bitfarms aims to enhance its liquidity profile and expedite the monetization of its operations, which will now be concentrated entirely in North America. The company’s updated energy portfolio will include a 341 MW energized capacity, 430 MW under active development, and a 2.1 GW multi-year pipeline, predominantly based in the United States.
The transition is expected to enable Bitfarms to focus more on its core capabilities in digital infrastructure for HPC/AI, a sector where the company expects to see significant growth and profitability.
