Foolish Take

What matters for long-term investors here is not exactly the near-term price performance but where conviction is being concentrated across the portfolio. This position dwarfs the fund’s other crypto-linked holdings, signaling that this is viewed less as a tactical trade and more as the core expression of a broader infrastructure thesis. With the vast majority of reported assets spread across bitcoin miners and digital infrastructure names, the strategy is clearly betting that scale, power access, and balance sheet flexibility will matter more than short-term volatility.

In the third quarter, Bitfarms generated $69 million in revenue from continuing operations, up 156% year over year, and delivered adjusted EBITDA of $20 million, or 28% of revenue. While net losses persist, the balance sheet has been materially strengthened. Bitfarms closed a $588 million convertible note offering and reported total liquidity of about $814 million as of mid-November, including both cash and bitcoin holdings. Management is redeploying that capital toward higher-value infrastructure, including converting its Washington site for high-performance computing and AI workloads and advancing multiple North American projects designed to support next-generation GPUs. If Bitfarms successfully pivots from pure mining toward digital infrastructure, the upside from today’s discounted levels could be meaningful.
