Leading crypto Bitcoin had a very tough May. This situation continues to push the miners. Bitcoin miner Bitfarms has divested most of its Bitcoins in May. Despite this, the crypto company stated that its cash flow remains positive.
Bitfarms sold 90% of the Bitcoin it mined in May
Bitcoin (BTC) miner Bitfarms sold 414 BTC in May, according to a statement on June 1. Meanwhile, the crypto miner announced that it had mined a total of 459 BTC in May. This means that Bitfarms disposed of 90.19% of the BTCs it issued. According to the statement, the miner earned $11.3 million in revenue from sold assets. Thus, he reduced his debt by $1.8 million.

BTC production performance of crypto miner
When Bitfarms BTC production is analyzed by monthly metrics, it is up 21% compared to the 379 BTC recorded in April. Looking at the criteria from the year to date, Bitcoin production has reached 2,135 BTC. Thus, it showed an increase of 18.74% compared to 1798 BTC recorded in the same period last year.
Speaking about the increased production, Ben Gagnon, the firm’s chief mining officer, stated that the increased production was “largely due to a temporary increase in BTC transaction fees.” As cryptokoin.com reported, in May, the transaction fees of the Bitcoin network increased sharply due to the launch of the Ordinals Protocol. In addition, Bitfarms added 45 BTC to its treasury in May, bringing it to 510 BTC, worth a total of $13.8 million.
