Transition to U.S. HPC and AI infrastructure is on track, with strong liquidity and active commercial negotiations across three priority sites. Q2 revenue declined due to Bitcoin exit, but permitting and expansion progress positions the company for 2027 data center launches.
-
The discussion highlighted a strategic shift from Bitcoin mining to AI/HPC data centers, emphasizing the value of secured power in high-demand locations and a deliberate approach to de-risking before leasing. The company is fully funded through 2028 and expects major catalysts as sites come online and industry demand shifts to AI inference.
-
The company has completed a strategic pivot to the US, focusing on large-scale HPC and AI campuses with a 2.2 GW pipeline. Key sites in Pennsylvania and Washington are advancing, with first revenues expected in 2027. Lease execution and future-proofed infrastructure are central to driving shareholder value.
-
Q1 2026 saw a strategic transformation to North American digital infrastructure, with $37M revenue and a $98M operating loss. Three major sites are advancing toward lease execution, backed by $533M liquidity, amid strong demand for AI and HPC capacity in power-constrained markets.
-
The company has fully pivoted from Bitcoin mining to North American HPC and AI infrastructure, rebranding as Keel Infrastructure and focusing on high-demand, northern U.S. and Canadian markets. Key milestones include lease execution and site commissioning in 2027, with robust liquidity and top-tier partners supporting rapid expansion.
-
Shareholders approved a special resolution to exchange Bitfarms shares for Keel Infrastructure Corp shares, marking a transition to a new U.S.-based parent company. The arrangement passed with overwhelming support and no questions from stakeholders.
-
Data center and compute demand is surging, with power and infrastructure as key bottlenecks. The company is leveraging its strong balance sheet and strategic energy assets to develop next-gen HPC and AI infrastructure, focusing on high-value sites and prudent capital management.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
Completed transformation to HPC/AI infrastructure, rebranding as Keel Infrastructure with over 2 GW secured capacity and strong liquidity. Fiscal 2025 saw 72% revenue growth but a net loss due to transition costs. Lease execution and site delivery in 2026–2027 are key catalysts.
-
Q3 revenue surged 156% year-over-year to $69M from continuing operations, with a strategic pivot from Bitcoin mining to HPC and AI infrastructure, focusing on next-gen NVIDIA GPUs and premium data center locations. Over $1B in liquidity supports fully funded site conversions and expansion.
-
Q2 2025 saw strong revenue growth, operational improvements, and a strategic pivot toward U.S.-based HPC and AI infrastructure, with the Argentina shutdown improving efficiency and liquidity. Panther Creek and Quebec are key to future HPC expansion, supported by robust financing and a share buyback program.
-
The meeting covered financial results, elected six directors, approved the appointment of auditors, passed a new omnibus incentive plan, and authorized a potential share consolidation. All resolutions were carried by the required majority, with no shareholder questions raised.
-
Q1 2025 saw a strategic pivot to HPC/AI, with $67M revenue (up 33% YoY), $28M gross mining profit, and $15M adjusted EBITDA. $300M Macquarie financing will fund U.S. HPC expansion, while Bitcoin mining CapEx is minimized and infrastructure investments prioritized.
-
Significant U.S. expansion and the Stronghold acquisition are set to triple energy capacity and shift the portfolio toward North America. Diversified strategies in Bitcoin mining, HPC, and AI, combined with innovative financial programs, aim to maximize returns and minimize risk.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Transformed into a U.S.-focused energy and compute company, nearly tripling hash rate and reducing costs. Q4 saw $56M revenue, $15M net income, and strong margins. Strategic M&A, divestitures, and a pivot to HPC/AI position for growth, with 2025 CapEx under $100M and robust liquidity.

Q3 saw major operational upgrades, a transformative U.S. acquisition, and a 14% increase in Bitcoin mined. Revenue rose 8% sequentially, but one-time costs led to a $37M net loss. Year-end hash rate targets shifted to H1 2025, with a focus on optimizing U.S. assets and piloting HPC/AI.
-
Significant expansion and diversification plans include the Stronghold acquisition, tripling hash rate, and a shift toward US-based energy assets. Integration of HPC and AI infrastructure aims to reduce costs and environmental impact, while a synthetic HODL strategy supports capital efficiency.
-
The acquisition of Stronghold brings two U.S. power plants, expanding energy capacity and enabling vertical integration, environmental remediation, and significant cost synergies. The all-stock deal, valued at $125 million plus $50 million in debt, is expected to close in Q1 2025, pending regulatory and shareholder approvals.
-
Q2 revenue rose 17% year-over-year to $42M, but fell 16% sequentially due to the Bitcoin halving. The company remains fully funded for its 2024 growth plan, targeting 21 exahash and 21 W/TH, and is accelerating U.S. expansion while exploring diversification into HPC and AI.
-
Management outlined a fully funded plan to triple hash rate and improve efficiency in 2024, with further U.S. expansion and diversification into AI and energy trading. Leadership transition has boosted morale, and the company remains focused on growth despite takeover attempts.
