Golden Finance reported that Bitcoin miner Riot Platform said it acquired an additional 1,432,063 shares of Bitfarms at a price of approximately $2.7 per share, or approximately $3.87 million. Riot currently holds 57.62 million shares of Bitfarms, accounting for approximately 14%. This is the latest move by Riot to hostilely acquire Bitfarms. Last month, Riot Platforms attempted to acquire Bitfarms for approximately $950 million. On Wednesday, Riot Platforms CEO criticized Bitfarms' latest plan to block the acquisition. Riot Platforms CEO Jason Les said in a statement that Bitfarms did not engage with us privately and in good faith, but responded by implementing an off-site poison pill plan with a trigger point far below the usual 20% threshold. Earlier this week, Bitfarms adopted a "poison pill" strategy to prevent possible acquisitions. The poison pill strategy is designed to reduce the company's attractiveness and/or dilute the acquirer's ownership of the acquisition target.
