Despite a significant net loss of $284.5 million for the year 2025, shares of Bitfarms (BITF) surged by 6.6% on Tuesday, closing at 2.73 Canadian dollars (approximately $1.96). The company's revenue increased by 72% year-on-year, reaching $229 million, although this was overshadowed by a $248 million cost of revenue that led to a gross loss.
In the wake of declining Bitcoin prices, which have dropped 46% since last October, Bitfarms has made a strategic pivot away from Bitcoin mining. CEO Ben Gagnon announced the company's decision to exit this business in November, focusing instead on high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI). Bitfarms plans to rebrand as Keel Infrastructure and relocate its legal base to the United States, having received shareholder approval for this transition.
Gagnon emphasized that the infrastructure built in 2025 is designed to support the growing demands of HPC and AI, stating that the company aims to provide essential foundations for advanced AI applications. Currently, Bitfarms holds approximately $161 million in unencumbered Bitcoin, while navigating the challenges faced by Bitcoin miners in achieving profitability.
