Odaily Planet Daily News: Bitcoin mining company Riot Platforms Inc. warned its competitor Bitfarms Ltd. not to take further action following a takeover bid for a smaller competitor. Riot, the largest shareholder of Bitfarms, issued the warning in part in response to Bitfarms' plan to acquire Stronghold Digital Mining Inc., announced last month. Riot has been trying to acquire Bitfarms for months, and the smaller competitor has taken a number of measures to fend off the unsolicited takeover, including the implementation of a "poison pill" shareholder rights plan. It is reported that Bitfarms plans to hold a special meeting on October 29, when Riot will have the opportunity to place its nominated candidates on Bitfarms' board of directors. Riot said in a statement on Tuesday that it has reduced the list of proposed new director candidates from three to two. (Bloomberg)
