<a href="https://bitfarms.com">Bitfarms Ltd</a>&nbsp;(Nasdaq: BITF), a global bitcoin mining company, has <a href="https://bitcoinworld.co.in/bitfarms-appoints-new-ceo-as-riot-intensifies-takeover-bid/">appointed</a> Ben Gagnon as chief executive officer (CEO), effective immediately.&nbsp; 
Gagnon, previously chief mining officer, has significantly contributed to Bitfarms’ growth over the past five years, the company said.&nbsp; 
Chairman Nicolas Bonta praised his leadership and strategic impact, highlighting plans to leverage Gagnon’s expertise to diversify into energy generation, heat recycling, energy trading, and high-performance computing (HPC) for artificial intelligence (AI).&nbsp; 
Meanwhile, Riot Platforms is attempting to acquire Bitfarms, aiming to merge and create the largest publicly listed bitcoin miner.&nbsp; 
This hostile takeover attempt includes calls for changes in Bitfarms’ leadership and has led Bitfarms to adopt a “poison pill” strategy to fend off Riot’s advances.
