Contingent Liability
As the Company continues to periodically import products into the United States, it is subject to review by the Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") regarding the classification and origin of such imports. Refer to Note 25 of the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report for more details regarding the Company's Miners imported in 2021. There were no Miners imported into the United States in 2022, 2023 or during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026; and for 2024 and 2025, the Company has not received any assessment or communication of a potential assessment.

Furthermore, the Company took several steps to ensure compliance with CBP rules and regulations by sourcing non-Chinese origin equipment including, but not limited to, the specifications of which non-Chinese production facilities could be supplied under our purchase agreements with Bitmain Development PTE. Ltd., in person factory inspections by the Company's employees to verify production, and the collection of various importation documents that confer non-Chinese origin. While the Company has addressed certain concerns related to previous importations, additional assessments may be made by the CBP in connection with other importations.

The Company imported 34,179 Miners in the United States during 2025 (2024: 9,399) and had delivered asset values of $130,698 (2024: $25,782). Importation tariffs from China fluctuated between 22.4% and 150.5% in 2025 (2024: 22.4%). Any assessments made on previous importations by the CBP could also include penalties and interest.

In March 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court IEEPA Tariff Ruling determined that certain tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act were not lawful. Based on currently available guidance, the tariff rate for imports of Chinese origin is expected to be approximately 27.6%. However, the timing, scope, and implementation of such changes remain subject to regulatory interpretation and potential further governmental action.

The Company will apply a gain model in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450, Contingencies, to account for potential refunds of previously paid IEEPA tariffs. Under this model, a gain contingency is not recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements until the gain is realized or realizable. Any refunds, when recognized, would be reflected as a reduction of property, plant and equipment on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets to the extent the related Miners remain on hand, or as a reduction of cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the amounts related to Miners already depreciated or sold.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company has received and recognized IEEPA tariff refunds totaling $908, $583 of which reduced property, plant and equipment and $325 reduced cost of revenues (three and six months ended June 30, 2025: nil).

At this time, while the Company believes it has taken the appropriate steps to reduce the risk of potential exposure, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of any future assessments or to reasonably estimate the amount, if any, that may be payable in connection with these matters. The facts surrounding each importation may vary and the Company reserves the right and may challenge any assessments.

Letters of Credit
In March 2026, the Company entered into an agreement with a utility provider to supply high-voltage electricity to a large-scale, energy-intensive facility to its Panther Creek property in Pennsylvania, United States. The utility provider is responsible for providing electrical power and, if necessary, designing and constructing essential infrastructure such as transmission links and substations. As part of the arrangement, the Company issued a letter of credit in the amount of $40,000 to the utility provider, which is secured by an amount of $40,200 of restricted cash pledged as collateral as of June 30, 2026. In addition, the Company is required to provide a letter of credit in the amount of $60,800 by January 31, 2027, contingent upon the utility provider’s completion of specified transmission infrastructure upgrades.

In March 2026, the Company entered into an agreement for the sale and delivery of electricity to its Sharon property in Pennsylvania, United States, over a four-year term. As part of the arrangement, the Company issued a letter of credit in the amount of $875 to the utility provider, which is secured by an equivalent amount of restricted cash pledged as collateral as of June 30, 2026.

In June 2026, the Company entered into an arrangement with a utility provider to supply high-voltage electricity to a large-scale, energy-intensive data center facility at its Panther Creek property in Pennsylvania, United States. The utility provider is responsible for providing electrical power and, if necessary, designing and constructing essential infrastructure such as transmission lines and substations. As part of the arrangement, the Company is required to provide minimum credit support of $12,241 to fund project development, engineering, permitting, regulatory, and procurement activities. Accordingly, during June 2026 the Company issued a letter of credit in the amount of $12,241 to the utility provider, which is secured by $12,302 of restricted cash pledged as collateral as of June 30, 2026. In addition, the Company is required to provide total credit support currently estimated at $82,900 prior to the commencement of construction, as set out in the electric service agreement and construction service agreement expected to be executed. The estimated total credit support is based on information available as of the reporting date and may be reduced to the extent collateral obligations are shared with other projects in the surrounding area.
Lawsuits
Class Action Lawsuit
On May 9, 2025, and as amended on October 21, 2025, a purported shareholder filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, in a case now titled In re: Bitfarms Securities Litigation, case no 1:25-cv-02630. Co-Lead Plaintiffs Zhao Jun, Gong Lanfang, Michael Pearl, Kazim Khan, and Michael Lawarre sued Bitfarms Ltd., Benjamin Gagnon, Jeffrey Lucas and Geoffrey Morphy alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5, promulgated thereunder. The lawsuit alleges that the Company, its current CEO, its former CFO and its former CEO made materially false and/or misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations and internal controls over financial reporting. The Plaintiff seeks class certification, unspecified damages plus interest and attorney and expert witness fees and other costs on behalf of a purported class consisting of all persons and entities (subject to specified exceptions) that purchased or otherwise acquired Company common stock from March 21, 2023 through December 9, 2024. The lawsuit was filed by Pomerantz Law Firm. The Company cannot predict the duration or outcome of this lawsuit at this time. As a result, the Company is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of reasonably possible loss arising from this lawsuit and no provision was recognized as of June 30, 2026. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.
