Riot Platforms, a major player in Bitcoin mining, has intensified its efforts to acquire Bitfarms by launching a new website named, <a href="http://www.abetterbitfarms.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.ABetterBitfarms.com</a>. 
The launch of a website aimed to educate shareholders about Bitfarms’ corporate governance issues and Riot’s plans to reconstitute the board. 
Recently, the website is created to garner support for its plan to restructure the Bitfarms board of directors. The website provides a forum for shareholders to learn about the alleged governance shortcomings at Bitfarms and Riot’s intention to appoint new executives. 
Riot’s press release <a href="https://www.riotplatforms.com/riot-launches-www-abetterbitfarms-com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">states</a> that the objective is to reorganize the board in the interim to resolve these concerns and open the door for a positive discussion about the possible acquisition. This strategic shift comes after Riot withdrew its $2.30 per share bid for Bitfarms and instead focused on securing three board seats. 
Riot has nominated three independent directors believing they will bring valuable expertise and new perspectives to Bitfarms. The directors are John Delaney, former Jacksonville mayor; Amy Freedman, ex-CEO of Kingsdale Advisors; and Ralph Goehring, a former CFO in the energy sector. 
Riot’s action comes after Bitfarms’ $950 million takeover bid was turned down. Riot, frustrated by what it perceives to be inadequate governance impeding constructive discourse, is now advocating for leadership changes to guarantee that a meaningful conversation over the merger can occur. 
Riot’s Investment Trust, which owns a 15% investment in Bitfarms, has made a strong case for the need for these board changes in order to maximize shareholder value and move on with merger negotiations. 
Riot Platforms has requested a special shareholders’ meeting to dismiss Director Andrés Finkielsztain and Chairman Nicolas Bonta, and appoint new directors at Bitfarms. 
Riot argues that current leadership has stalled merger negotiations and failed to unlock Bitfarms’ full potential, emphasizing the need for fresh leadership to facilitate productive takeover discussions. 
By advocating for these board changes, Riot aims to restore shareholder confidence and introduce new ideas to drive Bitfarms forward, seeing the proposed board reconstitution as crucial to their acquisition strategy.
