Bitcoin mining is making big moves again. Bitfarms recently finalized an asset transfer — selling its 70MW Bitcoin mining farm located in Paso Pe, Paraguay, to Sympatheia Power Fund under Singapore's Hawksburn Capital, with a transaction amount of up to $30 million.
What does this transaction mean? To put it simply, Bitfarms is saying goodbye to Latin America entirely. The deal is expected to close within two months, and once completed, their mining operations in Latin America will be reset to zero, with 100% of their energy assets shifting to North America.
What's more interesting is their subsequent plan — the money from the sale will not be used for dividends but will be fully invested in North American HPC and AI infrastructure development. This reflects a new mindset in the mining industry: the marginal returns from traditional Bitcoin mining are shrinking, while AI computing power infrastructure is becoming the new growth point. From a regional perspective, the stability and policy friendliness of the North American market are indeed more attractive than Latin America, and this adjustment aligns with the overall industry migration trend.

Traditional mining is indeed on the decline. Currently, mining companies are betting on AI infrastructure, which is the wise move.

Latin American mining farms say goodbye. Do you understand this trend? Mining companies are quietly shifting towards AI computing power. Traditional mining is really going to become obsolete...

Starting to cut vegetables again, Latin American mining farms say they will sell at will, then turn around and go all in on AI computing power... It sounds nice to call it a transformation, but actually it's just that BTC mining is no longer profitable.

70MW, 30 million USD... etc., what is the arbitrage space per watt based on this price? I'm curious to analyze where the liquidity gap is in Bitfarms' transaction.

Speaking of which, this move is quite clever—pulling out of Latin America and heading towards North America indeed reduces policy risks significantly. But I'm more curious—can investing 30 million into AI infrastructure really turn the tide? It seems that transitioning mining companies to AI is easier to talk about than to actually do.

Yet another mining company has moved to North America. Latin America has really become a ghost town, haha.
AI infrastructure is the future. The returns from Bitcoin are no longer interesting.
30 million to invest in HPC? Let’s see if they can catch this wave.
Bitfarms' move is decent; at least they didn't continue to stick to the old tactics.
Geographical location is becoming increasingly important. It all depends on whether North American policies will change again.
