Bitfarms Ltd. (“
Bitfarms”, or the
“
Company”) (TSXV:BITF // OTC:BFARF) today
announces Bitfarms’ application to list its common stock on the
Nasdaq Global Market® was approved by The Nasdaq Stock Market
(“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “BITF”.
Bitfarms will also retain its listing on the TSX
Venture Exchange under the symbol “BITF”. The ticker used for
Bitfarms’ securities traded over-the-counter (OTC) under the
current symbol “BFARF” will seamlessly transfer to the new ticker
symbol “BITF” on the first day of trading on The Nasdaq Stock
Market.
Furthermore, as of today, Bitfarms is the first
publicly traded Bitcoin miner to announce it will be trading on The
Nasdaq Global Market® tier. This tier is reserved for companies who
fulfill financial liquidity and requirements above and beyond what
it takes to list on The Nasdaq Capital Market®, the lower tier upon
which other Bitcoin miners trade. This represents a powerful
validation of our global focus that has been at the core of
Bitfarms since its founding in 2017.
Emiliano Grodzki, Bitfarms’ Chief Executive
Officer, said, "The approval for listing on The Nasdaq Global
Market® is an incredible achievement for Bitfarms and is the
fruition of multiple years of work and dedication. Over the last
four years we have managed to build and operate one of the largest
Bitcoin mining operations worldwide. It is fitting that we will be
listing on one of the most prestigious exchanges in the world and
significantly expand the market reach of our Company. We are very
proud to have reached this important milestone for the Company and
our shareholders. I would like to thank the team at Bitfarms, and
all our advisers and professionals whose tireless efforts made this
possible.”The last remaining requirement prior to listing and
trading on the Nasdaq is to confirm Bitfarms’ common shares are
eligible for electronic clearing and settlement through the
Depository Trust Company (DTC). The process to confirm DTC
eligibility is moving forward expeditiously. As we learn more about
the timing for the approval, we intend to provide a further update
to the market. When approval has been obtained, we will announce
the first date “BITF” will begin trading on Nasdaq.
