Proceeds from the offering will fund general corporate purposes and the purchase of capped call transactions aimed at limiting potential dilution. Those capped calls are initially set at $11.88 per share, or 125% above the stock's last closing price.

The company said banks and financial institutions facilitating the capped calls may engage in hedging or derivative transactions involving Bitfarms ( BITF ) shares, which could add to near-term volatility.
