<p>In the ongoing takeover battle between Riot Platforms and Bitfarms, Riot’s leadership, including Executive Chairman Benjamin Yi and CEO Jason Les, <a href="https://www.theblock.co/post/314350/bitfarms-august-bitcoin-riot-open-letter" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">have voiced concerns about Bitfarms’ recent governance changes</a> and the proposed acquisition of Stronghold Digital.</p>   
<p>Riot criticized Bitfarms’ board reorganization as “reactive” and insufficient to address governance issues, arguing that Bitfarms needs independent directors to act in the best interests of all shareholders, not just the former board members. This comes ahead of a crucial shareholder vote on reconstituting Bitfarms’ board.</p>

<p>In response, Bitfarms accused Riot of making misleading statements, claiming that the special meeting was not about corporate governance but rather Riot’s attempt to acquire Bitfarms at a discount. Bitfarms continued to defend its board changes and proposed <a href="https://www.theblock.co/post/312405/bitcoin-miner-bitfarms-to-acquire-stronghold-digital-in-175-million-equity-and-debt-deal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the acquisition of Stronghold</a>, which would significantly increase the company’s capacity by 2025.</p>

Both sides aimed to sway shareholders in their favour.</p>
