Bitfarms, one of the largest publicly traded Bitcoin miners, has decided to abandon its roots and pivot to the HPC market, abandoning its Latin American base and becoming a company with a fully North American energy footprint. Will this move work for the company?
Bitfarms: From Bitcoin mining to AI HPC
Bitfarms, one of the top publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies in the US, is now shifting its focus to becoming a provider of high performance computing (HPC) services for AI (artificial intelligence) companies.
After reporting disastrous losses amounting to up to $46 million in the third quarter of 2025, the company announced that it would pivot to these new activities in order to seek a new path towards stability and shift all efforts to achieve this task as soon as possible.
In the same earnings call, Bitfarms CEO Ben Gagnos said he expects this pivot to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2026, as Nvidia’s latest AI GPU (codenamed Vera Rubin) is scheduled to ship around the same time.
To achieve this objective, BitFarms has allocated over $588 million in war chest from a convertible note issue and $300 million in debt facilities to begin the work necessary to adapt its infrastructure to these new workloads.
Additionally, Bitfarms recently arranged the sale of its last Latin American site in Paraguay for $30 million, transforming it into a company focused on markets with demand for AI workloads and fully leveraging North American energy.

That’s in contrast to other companies that are betting on adapting their equipment to the current generation of Nvidia GPUs, code-named Blackwell, which most companies in the AI industry, including OpenAI, are using.
Bitfarms has decided to focus all its efforts on Vera Rubin (VR), a new infrastructure that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced at the recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES) as already in production.
During Bitfarm’s Q3 2025 earnings call, Gagnon pointed out that simply having this infrastructure ready at the right time will be a huge advantage as it will attract companies looking to quickly deploy these chips.
“A lot of the infrastructure that’s being built today is not going to be compatible with the next generation, and with companies allocating all this money to these Vera Rubin GPUs, there’s going to be a lot of economic incentive to deploy them,” he said.
Whether Gagnon’s predictions are accurate remains to be seen, but Bitfarms will be one of the first companies to provide data center support to Vera Rubin, and its services are gaining demand.
