According to a Sept. 23 announcement, the companies also agreed to a standstill arrangement lasting until 2026. Riot — which owns a substantial stake in Bitfarms — has agreed not to take any further hostile actions toward the company, including another takeover, increasing its stake above a certain threshold, or proposing changes to Bitfarms’ board.
