🚀 **Riot Platforms Mines More Influence in Bitfarms!** 🪙

Riot Platforms Inc., the third-largest Bitcoin miner on Wall Street, just upped its game by snagging an extra 1 million shares in rival Bitfarms Ltd. This $2.28M move bumps Riot’s stake to a hefty 18.9%, making them a major player in the Canadian mining firm.

- **Boardroom Battles:** Bitfarms' co-founder Nicolas Bonta exits stage left. Coincidence? We think not!

- **Expansion:** Riot also bought Block Mining for $92.5M, boosting their hashrate and expanding into Kentucky.
