Both recent sales were conducted through Malon Investments, a firm where Bonta serves as a director. Malon Investments acquired 2 million shares of Bitfarms from Bonta in 2019, all of which have been liquidated over the past two weeks.

Bitfarms’ stock price closed at $1.88 on Monday. Canadian securities regulators’ insider records indicate that as of March 2024, Bonta held approximately 8.6 million shares of Bitfarms.

In September, Bitfarms mined 217 bitcoin with a hashrate of 10.28 EH/s, while increasing its bitcoin holdings to 1,147 BTC.
