Caret Digital 已開始使用首批 Antminer L9 礦機進行挖礦

將訂購更多採礦設備並分階段部署在威斯康辛州和俄勒岡州的託管設施中

Caret Digital, a wholly owned subsidiary of VivoPower (Nasdaq: VVPR), has commenced Dogecoin (DOGE) mining operations with an initial fleet of Antminer L9 rigs at its Wisconsin hosting facility, the companies announced Sunday.

VivoPower（納斯達克股票代碼：VVPR）的全資子公司 Caret Digital 週日宣布，已在其威斯康辛州託管設施開始使用首批 Antminer L9 礦機進行狗狗幣（DOGE）挖礦業務。

The move comes as part of a strategy to generate revenues and free cashflows for VivoPower, with Caret Digital planning to sell or forward sell most of the mined Dogecoin. Based on current DOGE prices and Antminer GPU costs, there is potential for Caret Digital to generate annual revenues of up to $25 million and cash earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of up to $12 million.

此舉是為 VivoPower 創造收入和自由現金流策略的一部分，Caret Digital 計劃出售或遠期出售大部分開採的狗狗幣。根據目前的 DOGE 價格和 Antminer GPU 成本，Caret Digital 有可能產生高達 2,500 萬美元的年收入，以及高達 1,200 萬美元的息稅折舊攤提前現金收益 (EBITDA)。

"Execution of this strategy will allow Caret Digital to take advantage of the current profitability of Dogecoin mining to generate revenues and free cashflows for VivoPower as a group," the announcement said. "Caret Digital does not intend to hold most of the Dogecoin that is mined but will sell or forward sell them as appropriate."

公告稱：“執行這一戰略將使 Caret Digital 能夠利用狗狗幣挖礦目前的盈利能力，為 VivoPower 作為一個集團創造收入和自由現金流。” “Caret Digital 並不打算持有大部分已開采的狗狗幣，但會酌情出售或遠期出售它們。”

"At the same time, Caret Digital will continue to work on developing up to 55MW of its own renewable-powered mining capacity to be used for Dogecoin and Litecoin mining, as previously announced," it added. "With a 55MW facility, Caret Digital would be able to generate revenues of up to $150 million per annum from Dogecoin mining (based on current price and cost inputs, which are subject to significant variability and hence this should not be taken as a forecast)."

它補充說：“與此同時，Caret Digital 將繼續致力於開發高達 55MW 的自有可再生能源採礦能力，用於狗狗幣和萊特幣採礦，正如之前宣布的那樣。” 「憑藉55MW 設施，Caret Digital 每年能夠從狗狗幣挖礦中產生高達1.5 億美元的收入（基於當前價格和成本投入，這些價格和成本投入存在很大的變化，因此不應將其視為預測） 」。

The companies noted that VivoPower intends to use any free cashflow generated from the Dogecoin mining operations to reinvest into its Tembo e-LV business and further its commitment to delivering on the triple bottom line of people, profit and planet.

兩家公司指出，VivoPower 打算利用狗狗幣挖礦業務產生的任何自由現金流重新投資其 Tembo e-LV 業務，並進一步履行其對實現人員、利潤和地球三重底線的承諾。
