Welcome back to the Mining Pod! For this week’s stock show, Colin interviews Bitfarms CEO Ben Gagnon and Senior Vice President of Global Mining Operations Alex Brammer. Bitfarms made a name for itself as one of the first publicly traded bitcoin miners to expand into South America, first with its operations in Argentina and then in Paraguay. Now, Bitfarms is planning to house 50% of its future hashrate in Pennsylvania with its acquisition of Stronghold Digital. They discuss how their new portfolio in Pennsylvania gives Bitfarms the option to enter the energy trading business, and Bitfarms’s strategy for potentially breaking into the AI/HPC business by 2026.
