Bitfarms Ltd. has refinanced a $300 million debt financing with Macquarie Group to fund its Panther Creek data center, shifting from Bitcoin mining to high-performance computing and artificial intelligence infrastructure. This strategic transformation, especially evident in the context of a 680% surge in stock price over six months, has created a rare overlapping effect for thematic ETFs, allowing blockchain funds to indirectly invest in artificial intelligence, while artificial intelligence ETFs can benefit from repurposed crypto infrastructure. CEO Ben Gagnon emphasized that this transformation will accelerate capital acquisition, while Macquarie pointed out the potential of Pennsylvania's emerging artificial intelligence hub.
