Quick overview
- Bitfarms (BITF) stock surged 10% after announcing its exit from Paraguay to focus on U.S. facilities.

Shares of Bitfarms (BITF) stock shot up by 10% when they announced this week that they were leaving Paraguay behind to focus on American facilities.
The dust has settled on Bitfarms’ latest business decision, and their stock fell 3.3% on Wednesday, but investors should note that it is still elected from their 2026 beginning price of $2.60 per share to $2.76 per share. The company sold off their last Paraguayan facility and now only has facilities in the United States.
The result of that selloff to Sympatheia Power Fund is that the company’s stock prospects are now much higher, and investors are behind the move. The stock is nowhere near its October high, but still ahead of early 2025 values and showing promise as the company transitions to its new digital data market.
Bitfarms Consolidates and Refocuses for the New Year
Bitfarms has been shifting from global Bitcoin mining in recent months to offer digital infrastructure and data centers. The move paid off with a massive stock spike in October, but the price of shares fell dramatically since then. The company posted earnings reports that showed significant cash outflows to cover development and infrastructure costs and little in the way of profits.
Those reports concerned investors, but it looks like the risks the company took to move into a different tech sector are paying off. 2026 has been a great year for Bitfarms so far, and while they have certainly come down from late 2025 stock price highs, the company is consolidating its assets to minimize expenses. That is excellent news for shareholders who have been worried that the company was hemorrhaging money on diversified assets. With all their property now in the United States, Bitfarms should be able to save significant resources moving forward.
Having only U.S. holdings as opposed to also having Latin American ones means that the company will have more reliable energy and internet access all year long. This also means that they do not have to spread themselves so thin, and they can focus on the aspects of their business that are truly profitable.
Bitfarms may be moving out of Latin America at the right time, as leaders in Colombia have spoken this week about taking up arms against the United States. The Trump administration has also expressed interest in setting its sights on Cuba and other Latin American countries to ensure that they have cooperative and friendly allies. That could lead to political unrest in the region for the coming months and years, and Bitfarms may be pulling out before the conflict truly starts.
The data center sector has grown in recent years, accompanying AI progress as a supporting market. Data centers as an industry are expected to grow around 14% through 2030, according to a report from real estate firm JLL. They say AI demand and cloud expansion will drive growth in this sector, and Bitfarms is positioned to benefit.
