Canadian cryptocurrency mining firm Bitfarms has reported a net loss of $142 million in Q2, up $138 million y/o/y, citing the decline in the market price of BTC during the quarter. The firm said in its earnings report that as of June 30, 2022, it held $46 million in cash and 3,144 BTC.

During the second quarter, Bitfarms also sold 3,357 BTC for aggregate proceeds of $69 million (to pay down $62 million of its loan facility) and closed a $37 million new equipment financing agreement.
The Quebec-headquartered firm added it had installed over 10,300 miners, adding more than 900 PH/s, which helped it surpass 3.9 EH/s corporate hashrate. By the end of 2022, Bitfarms plans to raise its mining power to 6.0 EH/s.
As iHodl earlier reported, Bitfarms abandoned its "hodling strategy" due to "extreme volatility in the markets." As part of business reorganization, Bitfarms previously had sold a total of 3,000 BTC for about $62 million and closed on its previously announced $37 million in new equipment financing with NYDIG.
