Bitfarms, one of Canada’s leading mining firms, says that the major challenge they face is power. However, the firm says that they have been able to secure cheap renewable energy, giving them a competitive edge. The renewable energy source is in Canada and it is critical to the mining activities of the company. As a result, the company states that it costs them $1,567 USD to mine 1 bitcoin (BTC).
