Riot Platforms, a major player in the Bitcoin mining industry, has sold over 11.1 million shares of rival miner Bitfarms for $15.1 million. This strategic divestment represents a significant shift in the relationship between the two companies. The sale follows an intense period of corporate maneuvering that saw Riot Platforms attempt to acquire full control of Bitfarms before settling on a peace agreement in September 2024. This latest action highlights Riot’s commitment to pursuing its own growth trajectory rather than maintaining a substantial stake in a competitor, signifying a new chapter for both companies within the dynamic and competitive Bitcoin mining landscape.
