Tether 斥資 1 億美元收購美國上市比特幣礦商 Bitdeer Technologies Group 的股份

廣泛使用的穩定幣 USDT 的發行人 Tether 收購了 Bitdeer Technologies Group 價值 1 億美元的股份，這是一項重大進展

Stablecoin issuer Tether has acquired $100 million in US-listed Bitcoin miner Bitdeer Technologies Group, with an option to purchase an additional $50 million shares.

穩定幣發行商 Tether 已以 1 億美元收購了美國上市的比特幣礦商 Bitdeer Technologies Group，並可選擇購買額外 5,000 萬美元的股票。

This development comes as part of Tether's strategy to expand its presence in the Bitcoin mining sector. The company undertook a massive hiring spree last year to bolster its mining operations.

這一發展是 Tether 擴大其在比特幣挖礦領域業務的策略的一部分。該公司去年進行了大規模招聘，以加強其採礦業務。

In a significant development, Tether has now acquired a $100 million stake in Bitdeer Technologies Group. Notably, the deal includes an option for Tether to purchase an additional $50 million shares within a year.

Tether 現已收購 Bitdeer Technologies Group 價值 1 億美元的股份，這是一項重大進展。值得注意的是，該交易包括 Tether 在一年內額外購買 5,000 萬美元股票的選擇權。

Tether’s Multi-Million Dollar Stake In Bitdeer

According to Bloomberg, the subscription agreement between Tether and Bitdeer involved a private placement of 18.6 million Class A ordinary shares, generating $100 million in gross proceeds. Notably, a warrant allows Tether to acquire up to five million additional shares at $10 per share. The private placement concluded on Thursday, with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. acting as the placement agent.

根據彭博社報道，Tether 和 Bitdeer 之間的認購協議涉及私募 1,860 萬股 A​​ 類普通股，產生總收益 1 億美元。值得注意的是，認股權證允許 Tether 以每股 10 美元的價格額外收購最多 500 萬股。此次私募於週四結束，Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. 擔任配售代理。

Bitdeer stated that the funds from the agreement will support the expansion of its data center operations, the development of application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) based crypto mining equipment, and other general corporate purposes. However, details regarding the percentage of Bitdeer held by Tether under the agreement were not disclosed.

Bitdeer表示，該協議的資金將支援其資料中心業務的擴展、基於專用積體電路（ASIC）的加密挖礦設備的開發以及其他一般企業用途。不過，Tether 根據協議持有 Bitdeer 的比例細節並未揭露。

This agreement represents a significant step for Tether in its goal to become a major player in Bitcoin mining. Last year, the company began constructing its own mining facilities in Uruguay, Paraguay, and El Salvador, pledging to invest $500 million within six months.

該協議代表 Tether 朝著成為比特幣挖礦主要參與者的目標邁出了重要一步。去年，該公司開始在烏拉圭、巴拉圭和薩爾瓦多建造自己的採礦設施，並承諾在六個月內投資 5 億美元。

Bitdeer’s Market Rebound

Bitdeer, headquartered in Singapore, is among the largest publicly-listed crypto miners in the United States, with a market capitalization of approximately $670 million. The company operates data centers in the United States, Norway, and Bhutan.

Bitdeer 總部位於新加坡，是美國最大的上市加密貨幣礦商之一，市值約 6.7 億美元。該公司在美國、挪威和不丹營運資料中心。

Following the news of the agreement, Bitdeer’s shares, which had declined by over 40% this year, rose by around 6.5% to $6.20.

協議消息傳出後，今年下跌超過 40% 的 Bitdeer 股價上漲約 6.5% 至 6.20 美元。

Earlier this year, Bitdeer was reportedly in discussions with private credit firms to secure approximately $100 million in financing. Whether these discussions will continue following Tether's capital injection into the company remains unclear.

據報道，今年早些時候，Bitdeer 正在與私人信貸公司討論以獲得約 1 億美元的融資。 Tether 向該公司注資後，這些討論是否會繼續尚不清楚。

Bitcoin mining involves the operation of power-intensive computers that secure the blockchain and earn new tokens as a reward. In April, the rewards were halved as part of a programmed network upgrade known as “The Halving,” which occurs every four years. This change effectively reduced the profitability of Bitcoin mining by approximately half.

比特幣挖礦涉及電力密集型電腦的運行，這些電腦保護區塊鏈並賺取新的代幣作為獎勵。今年 4 月，作為稱為「減半」的計畫網路升級的一部分，獎勵減半，該升級每四年進行一次。這項變更實際上使比特幣挖礦的獲利能力降低了大約一半。

In contrast, BTC’s price hit a record high of $73,700 in March, driven by optimism surrounding the launch of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States. As of this writing, the largest cryptocurrency is trading at $67,150, down more than 3% in the past 24 hours.

相較之下，受美國推出現貨比特幣交易所交易基金（ETF）的樂觀情緒推動，BTC 價格在 3 月創下 73,700 美元的歷史新高。截至撰寫本文時，最大的加密貨幣交易價格為 67,150 美元，在過去 24 小時內下跌了 3% 以上。
