核心科學反彈：《第 11 章》退出後財務表現改善

比特幣礦機機構 Core Scientific 報告稱，自破產後第一季的財務表現有所改善。總收入達到 1.793 億美元，比 2023 年第一季增加 5,860 萬美元。數位資產挖礦收入為 1.5 億美元，託管收入貢獻 2,930 萬美元，挖礦業務毛利率達 46%。

Core Scientific Emerges from Chapter 11 with Improved Financial Results

在第 11 章中出現的核心科學成果改善了財務業績

Core Scientific, a prominent Bitcoin mining infrastructure provider, has emerged from chapter and reported improved financial performance in the first quarter of 2024, showcasing the company's resilience and continued growth trajectory.

著名的比特幣挖礦基礎設施提供商 Core Scientific 已從章節中脫穎而出，並報告 2024 年第一季的財務業績有所改善，展示了該公司的韌性和持續成長軌跡。

Strong Financial Outlook

強勁的財務前景

Core Scientific's total revenue surged by $58.6 million to $179.3 million compared to the same period in 2023. This notable upswing is primarily attributed to favorable contributions from credit facilities amounting to $143.8 million and a reduction in Chapter 11 financing charges.

與 2023 年同期相比，Core Scientific 的總收入猛增 5,860 萬美元，達到 1.793 億美元。

Internet revenue surged from a net loss of $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2023 to a positive $210.7 million in the recent quarter.

網路營收從 2023 年第一季的淨虧損 40 萬美元猛增至最近一個季度的正值 2.107 億美元。

Mining Operations Drive Growth

採礦業務推動成長

Revenue generated from digital asset mining reached an impressive $150 million, while hosting services contributed $29.3 million. Notably, mining income exceeded mining expenses by $68.4 million, resulting in a robust gross margin of 46%. This is a significant improvement over the $25.4 million and 26% gross margin reported in the corresponding quarter of 2023.

數位資產挖礦產生的收入達到令人印象深刻的 1.5 億美元，而託管服務貢獻了 2,930 萬美元。值得注意的是，採礦收入超過採礦支出 6,840 萬美元，毛利率高達 46%。與 2023 年同期報告的 2,540 萬美元和 26% 的毛利率相比，這是一個顯著的改善。

The substantial increase in mining revenue is attributed to a combination of factors, including a 134% increase in Bitcoin's price and a 20% increase in Core Scientific's self-mining hash rate. These gains partially offset a 34% decrease in the amount of Bitcoin mined due to a 73% increase in the global hash rate.

挖礦收入的大幅成長歸因於多種因素，包括比特幣價格上漲134%以及Core Scientific自挖礦算力成長20%。這些收益部分抵消了全球哈希率增長 73% 導致比特幣開採量下降 34% 的影響。

Hosting Segment Expansion

託管業務擴充

Internet hosting revenue surpassed hosting costs by $9.3 million, resulting in a 32% gross margin. This represents a significant improvement over the $6.4 million and 28% gross margin reported in the first quarter of 2023. The growth is primarily attributed to the onboarding of new digital asset mining customers, which contributed a $6.7 million increase in hosting revenue.

網路託管收入超過託管成本 930 萬美元，毛利率達到 32%。這比 2023 年第一季報告的 640 萬美元和 28% 的毛利率有了顯著改善。

Operating expenses for the quarter were $16.9 million, down from $24.2 million in the same period last year, indicating efficient cost management.

本季營運費用為 1,690 萬美元，低於去年同期的 2,420 萬美元，顯示成本管理有效。

Strategic Growth Initiatives

策略性成長計劃

Core Scientific's CEO, Adam Sullivan, highlighted the company's strategic focus on expanding its infrastructure capabilities to meet the growing demand for energy and infrastructure in high-performance computing. He sees this as a significant growth opportunity for the business.

Core Scientific 的執行長 Adam Sullivan 強調了該公司的策略重點是擴展其基礎設施能力，以滿足高效能運算領域對能源和基礎設施不斷增長的需求。他認為這對公司來說是一個重要的成長機會。

During the first quarter of 2024, Core Scientific mined 2,825 self-mined Bitcoin, a remarkable achievement that surpasses any other publicly listed miner in North America. The company boasts approximately 745 megawatts of infrastructure, generating a total hash rate of 25.5 EH/s, comprising 19.3 EH/s from self-mining and 6.2 EH/s from hosting operations.

2024 年第一季度，Core Scientific 開採了 2,825 個自挖比特幣，這項成就超過了北美任何其他上市礦商。該公司擁有約 745 兆瓦的基礎設施，總算力為 25.5 EH/s，其中 19.3 EH/s 來自自挖礦，6.2 EH/s 來自託管作業。

In anticipation of the upcoming Bitcoin halving event, which is expected to reduce miners' revenue by half, Core Scientific plans to strategically purchase mining equipment at competitive prices. According to Sullivan, "We are prepared to make countercyclical miner purchases to capitalize on improved pricing. Following the recent halving, we are already observing this dynamic unfold, with post-purchase pricing lower than pre-purchase."

預計即將到來的比特幣減半事件預計將導致礦工收入減少一半，Core Scientific 計劃以有競爭力的價格策略性地購買挖礦設備。沙利文表示，“我們準備進行反週期礦商採購，以利用價格改善的機會。在最近的減半之後，我們已經觀察到這種動態的展開，購買後的定價低於購買前的價格。”

Successful Bankruptcy Restructuring

成功的破產重組

Core Scientific successfully emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy on January 16, 2024, and relisted its shares on the Nasdaq, marking the culmination of a 13-month restructuring process. This significant milestone demonstrates the company's financial resilience and its commitment to long-term growth.

Core Scientific 於 2024 年 1 月 16 日成功擺脫美國破產法第 11 章破產保護，並在納斯達克重新上市，標誌著歷時 13 個月的重組過程達到頂峰。這一重要的里程碑證明了公​​司的財務彈性及其對長期成長的承諾。
