Bitfarms plans to acquire 48,000 new mining equipment in 2022, despite chip shortage
One of the world’s largest publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies, Bitfarms, has committed to buying 48,000 new miners in the next two years.

The Canadian mining company has acquired equipment from Chinese supplier MicroBT in an attempt to increase its hashing capacity by another 5 EH (exahashes), according to reports . Bitfarms was founded in 2017 and currently has a capacity of 1EH. Its goal is to increase by 200% by the end of 2021.

Hashing capacity is the amount of pure computing horsepower that can be devoted to mining Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies.

The company expects the initial hardware shipment to take place in January 2022 or earlier, and the final mining equipment to arrive in December 2022. This will increase its global hashing capacity over the next two years. Emiliano Grodzki, CEO of Bitfarms, stated that it is increasingly difficult to get mining equipment:

“Sourcing miners will be one of the biggest challenges for the foreseeable future due to the global shortage of wafers (wafers) used to create semiconductor chips, which is a vital component in mining rigs . ”
