Bitfarms將第一季度的淨虧損擴大到3600萬美元，因為比特幣礦工向AI應用程序樞紐

Bitfarms的第一季度淨虧損為3600萬美元，從去年同期的600萬美元虧損中擴大了

Bitfarms reported a first-quarter net loss of $36 million, widening from a $6 million loss in the same period a year earlier, as the Bitcoin miner pivots from mining to high-performance computing for artificial intelligence applications.

Bitfarms報告說，由於比特幣礦工樞軸從採礦到高性能計算，淨淨虧損為3600萬美元，這是從去年同期的600萬美元虧損擴大的。

The miner posted $67 million in sales for the quarter ended March 31, up 33% from the year prior. However, gross profit margin for Bitfarm’s mining operations declined to 43% from 63% year-over-year, the company said in its first quarter earnings release on Monday.

這位礦工在截至3月31日的季度的銷售額為6700萬美元，比去年上漲33％。然而，該公司在周一的第一季度收益中表示，Bitfarm採礦業務的毛利率從同比的63％下降到43％。

The lower margins reflect pressure from Bitcoin’s (BTCUSD) April 2024 “halving” as well as volatility in Bitcoin’s price. Halvings occur every four years and cut the number of BTC mined per block in half, reducing Bitcoin miners’ profitability.

較低的利潤率反映了比特幣（BTCUSD）2024年4月的壓力“減半”以及比特幣價格的波動性。每四年發生過度的一天，並減少了每塊開採BTC的數量一半，從而降低了比特幣礦工的盈利能力。

In the first quarter of 2025, Bitcoin’s spot price swung from more than $100,000 in January to less than $80,000 in March, according to data from Google Finance. The cryptocurrency trades at more than $103,000 per coin as of Monday.

根據Google Finance的數據，在2025年第一季度，比特幣的現貨價格從一月份的100,000美元超過100,000美元，至3月的80,000美元。截至週一，加密貨幣的交易價格超過每枚硬幣103,000美元。

The miner is also expanding its U.S. presence to hedge against looming trade wars and investing in high-performance computing (HPC) as it pivots to new revenue streams.

這位礦工還將其美國的存在擴展到對沖迫在眉睫的貿易戰，並投資於高性能計算（HPC），因為它轉向了新的收入來源。

“During the quarter, we executed across several key areas in our strategic pivot to the U.S. and HPC,” Bitfarms CEO Ben Gagnon said in a statement.

Bitfarms首席執行官本·加格農（Ben Gagnon）在一份聲明中說：“在季度中，我們在戰略樞紐的幾個關鍵領域執行了執行。”

“The mining business now provides a stable, low-capex and free cash flow foundation for the Company that positions us very well to grow and develop our U.S. assets into HPC/AI data centers while still capitalizing on any potential Bitcoin upside in 2025 and 2026,” he added.

他補充說：“採礦業務現在為該公司提供了一個穩定，低CAPEX和自由現金流基金會，使我們能夠很好地定位我們的美國資產，並將我們的美國資產發展為HPC/AI數據中心，同時仍在利用2025年和2026年的任何潛在比特幣上漲空間。”

Miners are diversifying into AI data-center hosting as a way to expand revenue and repurpose existing infrastructure for high-performance computing, according to a March report by Coin Metrics.

根據Coin Metrics的三月報告，礦工正在將礦工多樣化為AI數據中心託管，以擴大收入並重新利用現有的基礎設施以進行高性能計算。

The computer hardware and electrical power supplies required for Bitcoin mining are also useful for applications requiring high-performance computing, including AI use cases.

比特幣採礦所需的計算機硬件和電力供應也可用於需要高性能計算（包括AI用例）的應用程序。

In March, AI computing provider CoreWeave went public in an IPO that valued the company at roughly $20 billion, reflecting strong demand among investors for companies servicing AI applications.

3月，AI計算提供商Coreweave在IPO上公開估價該公司約200億美元，這反映了投資者對服務AI應用程序的公司的強勁需求。

CoreWeave will report its earnings for the past quarter on May 14.

CoreWeave將報告上一季度5月14日的收益。

In April, Bitfarms secured a $300 million line of credit from investment bank Macquarie to finance the expansion of an HPC facility in Pennsylvania.

4月，Bitfarms從投資銀行Macquarie獲得了3億美元的信貸，以資助賓夕法尼亞州HPC設施的擴建。

In January, the company sold a Bitcoin mining facility in Paraguay to Hive Digital (HIVE) (TSXV:HIVE), another miner, for $85 million.

一月份，該公司以8500萬美元的價格將巴拉圭的比特幣採礦設施賣給了另一位礦工的Hive Digital（Hive）（TSXV：Hive）。
