Odaily News According to Bitfarms' latest financial report data, its revenue in Q4 2024 was US$56 million, a year-on-year increase of 21%; the managed computing power (EHuM) reached 18.6 EH/s, an increase of 186%; and the energy efficiency was increased to 19 w/TH, an improvement of 45%. The company completed the acquisition of Stronghold Digital Mining and sold the Yguazu 200 MW data center in Paraguay, with a total energy reserve of approximately 1.4 GW, 80% of which is located in the United States. CEO Ben Gagnon said: Bitfarms has transformed into a North American energy and computing power company. In the future, it will focus on HPC/AI business and continue to optimize asset allocation. CFO Jeff Lucas added: This acquisition and sale reduced the capital expenditure demand in 2025 by 20%, which will help improve cash flow and operating profit margins. As of March 26, 2025, the company held 1,093 BTC and total liquidity of approximately US$135 million.

Odaily News According to official news, B² Network announced the official launch of Mining Squared, a BTC mining pool and interest-earning platform, to promote the intelligent upgrade of the BTC ecosystem. Miners can access the mining pool with one click, subscribe to CeFi, DeFi or RWA interest-earning strategies, and conveniently open the BTC income growth path. Mining Squared will combine FPPS stable settlement and Layer2 + ZKP's secure asset management to break through the limitations of traditional mining pools such as single income and idle BTC assets, and provide miners with more efficient and flexible BTC value growth paths and financial products. B² Network believes that the core value of BTC lies not only in the security consensus built by computing power, but also in its long-term financial potential as a global asset. Mining Squared is an extension of this concept. By releasing BTC's profitability and liquidity value, it helps it transform from a passively held static asset into a financial instrument with stable output capabilities, accelerating BTC's evolution towards a new generation of financial infrastructure.
