Bitcoin Miner Bitfarms Faces Lawsuit Over Improper Capital Raise Accounting

Bitcoin mining firm Bitfarms is facing a proposed investor class action after it disclosed plans to restate its 2022 and 2023 financial results. The lawsuit accuses the company of improperly accounting for capital raising transactions and misleading shareholders. Complaint Alleges Deficient Financial Reporting Controls According to one complaint filed Monday, the company failed to maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting. As a result, proceeds from digital asset sales were recorded as operating cash flow rather than investing cash flow. The firm also overstated its remediation of a material weakness tied to warrant transactions. The lawsuit notes that on Dec. 9 last year, Bitfarms announced errors in its consolidated financial statements for both 2022 and 2023. It explained that an SEC review showed proceeds from digital asset sales belonged under investing activities. The Bitcoin mining firm also identified an error in accounting for warrant redemptions in 2023. Bitfarms’ Credibility At Stake After Cash Flow Errors Investors reacted swiftly to the restatement announcement. Bitfarms’ share price fell 6% to close at $2.1 on Dec. 10. Analysts warn that restating financials can undermine market trust and trigger further regulatory scrutiny. Bitfarms operates a network of mining farms that secure the Bitcoin blockchain. In recent years, it has expanded rapidly but also grappled with volatile cryptocurrency prices and rising energy costs. The decision to revise past financial statements could further dent confidence in its management. The class action covers anyone who purchased Bitfarms securities between March 21, 2023, and Dec. 9, 2024. Shareholders who wish to serve as lead plaintiff must file with the court by July 8, 2025. Even shareholders who take no formal role can still share in any recovery. Those who remain absent class members preserve their rights without actively participating in court proceedings.
