Bitfarms (BITF) News Today

Bitfarms Ltd. (NASDAQ:BITF) is trading higher after heavy option activity and placement on crypto watchlists, but the move is tempered by fresh analyst cuts to near‑term earnings. Volume is elevated, suggesting short‑term speculative and options-driven demand is pushing the stock up even as B. Riley trims Q3/Q4 and FY2025–26 EPS estimates (while retaining a Buy). Below are the key items investors should know.
