Riot计划恶意收购Bitfarms

Riot Platforms (RIOT) has sought to acquire fellow bitcoin miner Bitfarms (BITF), having acquired a 9.25% in the company to become its large shareholder. The Castle Rock, Colorado-based miner proposed to by all the outstanding BITF shares for $2.30 apiece, representing a 24% premium to their one-month volume weighted average price as of May 24, Riot announced on Tuesday.
Riot Platforms (RIOT) 已收购了该公司9.25%的股份，成为其大股东，并寻求收购比特币矿商Bitfarms (BITF)。Riot周二宣布，这家总部位于科罗拉多州Castle Rock的矿商提议以每股2.30美元的价格收购所有流通在外的BITF股票，这比截至 5 月 24 日的一个月成交量加权平均价格高出 24%。

If the proposal comes to fruition, the combined entity would be the world's largest bitcoin miner, Riot added. Riot privately offered its proposal last month. Riot cited Bitfarms' rejection of the bid along with allegations of a lawsuit by recently fired CEO Geoffrey Morphy as "raising serious questions about whether certain directors are committed to acting in the best interests of all shareholders."
Riot 补充说，如果该提议得以实现，合并后的实体将成为世界上最大的比特币矿商。Riot 上个月私下提出了该提议。Riot援引了Bitfarms拒绝收购以及最近被解雇的首席执行官 Geoffrey Morphy 提起诉讼的指控，称“这引发了人们对某些董事是否致力于为所有股东的最佳利益行事的严重质疑。”

Bitfarms' shares were up nearly 6% at $2.13 as of 14:00 UTC following Riot's announcement.
