Fact Check
The provided sources, especially the multiple primary source press releases directly from Bitfarms, consistently confirm the core elements of the statement. There is unanimous agreement across all sources that Bitfarms (the seller) entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Paso Pe facility to Sympatheia Power Fund (the buyer).The only minor point of imprecision is the sale price. The statement claims the facility was sold for "$30 million." However, several of the most authoritative primary sources specify the price as "up to $30 million." This phrasing implies that $30 million is the maximum potential value of the deal, which could be contingent on certain conditions, rather than a fixed, upfront payment. While some sources simplify this to "$30 million," the official announcements from the company use the more nuanced "up to" language. Despite this slight ambiguity, the statement accurately identifies the seller, buyer, asset, and the headline value of the transaction. The essence of the statement is factually correct based on the company's own announcements. The high probability of truth reflects this, while the small probability of falsehood accounts for the technicality that the final sale price might be less than the full $30 million.
Summary

Bitfarms announced an official agreement to sell its 70MW Paso Pe mining facility in Paraguay to Sympatheia Power Fund for up to $30 million, including $9 million in cash at closing. The transaction completes Bitfarms’ exit from Latin America and allows the company to concentrate its operations in North America, where it reports 341MW of operational capacity and 430MW under construction, targeting Bitcoin mining as well as AI and high-performance computing projects.
