Swan Bitcoin 因關閉採礦部門而終止 IPO 計劃

該決定是由執行長 Cory Klippsten 於 7 月 22 日做出的，表示公司必須削減開支並解決採礦收入損失的後果。

Financial services firm Swan Bitcoin has abandoned its IPO plans following the closure of its mining division.

金融服務公司 Swan Bitcoin 在關閉其採礦部門後放棄了 IPO 計劃。

該決定由執行長 Cory Klippsten 於 7 月 22 日宣布，他表示公司必須減少開支並解決採礦收入損失的影響。

Klippsten announced staff cuts and said that the firm’s Managed Mining operations would not be supported in the short term.

Klippsten 宣布裁員，並表示該公司的託管採礦業務短期內不會得到支援。

Klippsten stated that the company could not proceed with the IPO due to the lack of mining revenues.

“Swan is pulling back from our accelerated spending plan for our core financial services business. Unfortunately, this includes staff cuts across many functions,” explained Klippsten.

In January, Swan Bitcoin started mining and planned to go public within a year.

The firm had generated $125 million in revenue since 2023 and doubled its employee count at that time.

Klippsten’s statement comes amid the latest Bitcoin halving, which has reduced mining rewards from 6.25 to 3.125 BTC per block.

Klippsten 的聲明是在最新的比特幣減半之際發表的，該減半已將每個區塊的挖礦獎勵從 6.25 BTC 減少到 3.125 BTC。
