In order to increase output and efficiency in preparation for the halving event, <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/u-s-government-transfers-2-billion-worth-of-bitcoin-to-coinbase/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin</a> miner Bitfarms has purchased 87,796 miners. <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/bitcoin-mining-firm-bitfarms-achieves-new-all-time-high-hashrate/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitfarms</a> revealed their ambitions to expand their farm in the future, acquire more miners, and increase their capacity this year in a social media post on X on April 2. The announcement states that by the end of the year, the purchase will have increased operating capacity, resulting in 21 EH/s. 
In light of the current T21 miners’ performance and the intentions to expand the farm in preparation for the impending Bitcoin halving, the team made the bold move. 
The mining firm stated: 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 “Together, with our 35,888 Bitmain T21 purchases and farm expansions announced in November, these new 87,796 miners are sufficient to reach 21 EH/s by year-end, with greater operating efficiency.” 
</blockquote>

One other factor that influenced the decision to buy out major miners was the price of Bitcoin. Before the hardware price rise, Bitfarms bought the miners while the asset price recently created an all-time high. 
The price of hardware components used in artificial intelligence (<a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/artificial-intelligence" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">AI</a>) and mining has risen sharply because of the recent buzz around these topics and the miners’ mad dash ahead of the upcoming <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/bitcoin-halving-4843769" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">halving</a>. It was reported last month that crypto miners are rushing to acquire computing gear, even going as far as purchasing used equipment from the U.S. 
Bitfarms, like the majority of Bitcoin miners, has prioritized growth in response to rising asset values and rising acceptance in a number of countries.&nbsp;
