BTC從ATW合作夥伴籌集了5780萬美元，以擴大其以太坊基礎設施策略

公開交易的公司BTCS宣布了一項由投資公司ATW Partners領導的5780萬美元的融資協議，以購買Ether，因為它擴大了其區塊鏈基礎設施策略。

Publicly traded company BTCS has announced a $57.8 million financing agreement led by investment firm ATW Partners to be used for purchasing Ether as it expands its blockchain infrastructure strategy.

公開交易的公司BTCS已宣布，由投資公司ATW Partners領導的5780萬美元的融資協議將用於購買Ether，因為它擴大了區塊鏈基礎設施策略。

The Rockville, Maryland-based company announced the deal on May 14, saying that the move will allow it to expand validator node operations and build recurring revenue from Ether (ETH) staking.

這家總部位於馬里蘭州的羅克維爾公司於5月14日宣布了這筆交易，稱此舉將允許其擴展驗證器節點操作並從Ether（Eth）Statik製作經常性收入。

The move follows Strategy’s (formerly MicroStrategy) high-profile Bitcoin (BTC) accumulation blueprint and will leverage Ethereum for long-term growth, BTCS CEO Charles Allen added.

BTCS首席執行官Charles Allen補充說，此舉是遵循策略（以前是微觀）備受矚目的比特幣（BTC）堆積藍圖的（將要利用以太坊的長期增長）。

“We are executing a disciplined strategy to increase our Ethereum exposure and drive recurring revenue through staking and our block building operations,” Allen said.

艾倫說：“我們正在執行一項紀律嚴明的策略，以增加以太坊的暴露，並通過Staking和我們的塊建築物運營來推動經常性收入。”

BTCS issues initial $7.8 million convertible notes

BTCS發行最初的780萬美元可轉換票據

As part of the agreement, BTCS issued an initial $7.8 million tranche in convertible notes, with the option to draw an additional $50 million in funding subject to mutual agreement.

作為該協議的一部分，BTCS發行了最初的780萬美元的可轉換票據，並可以選擇額外的5000萬美元的資金，但要遵守共同協議。

The notes are convertible to BTCS common stock at a fixed price of $5.85 per share, almost 200% more than the company’s $1.99 stock price on May 13. 

這些票據可轉換為BTCS普通股，固定價格每股5.85美元，比該公司5月13日的股票價格高出近200％。

The notes carry a two-year maturity and a 6% annual interest rate. This means that BTCS has two years to repay the loan if it’s not converted into stock, and that while the notes are active, the company will pay 6% in interest yearly. 

票據持有兩年的成熟度和6％的年利率。這意味著，如果BTC沒有轉換為股票，則有兩年的時間來償還貸款，並且在票據處於活動狀態時，該公司每年將支付6％的利息。

In simple terms, investors are betting that BTCS stock will rise. In exchange, the company gains access to capital for scaling its Ethereum operations.

簡而言之，投資者押注BTCS股票將上升。作為交換，該公司獲得了資本的範圍來擴展其以太坊運營。

Investors also received an option to buy 1.9 million shares at $2.75 each for the next five years. This is much higher than the current stock price but lower than the conversion rate stated in the agreement. 

投資者還收到了未來五年購買190萬股以2.75美元購買190萬股的選擇。這遠高於目前的股票價格，但低於協議中所述的轉換率。

The financing agreement follows the company’s recent use of the lending protocol Aave to borrow funds to acquire ETH. However, the company did not disclose in the announcement how much ETH it had acquired through the protocol.

融資協議遵循公司最近使用貸款方案AAVE借入資金來獲取ETH的情況。但是，該公司沒有在公告中披露其通過協議獲得了多少ETH。
