Tether擴展了比特幣採礦佔地面積，並在Bitder上進行了3200萬美元的額外投資

根據SEC文件，本月，Stablecoin Giant Tether在本月的Bitcoin Mining Company Bitdeer中額外購買了價值3200萬美元的股票。

Stablecoin giant Tether has acquired an additional $32 million worth of shares in Bitcoin (BTC) mining company Bitdeer this month, according to a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

根據美國證券交易委員會（SEC）（SEC）的一份文件，Stablecoin巨頭Tether本月已收購了價值3200萬美元的比特幣（BTC）礦業公司Bitdeer股票。

This latest investment builds on Tether’s growing stake in Bitdeer. Last month, filings showed that Tether had increased its ownership to 21.4% of Bitdeer’s outstanding shares through its subsidiaries Tether International and Tether Investments.

這項最新的投資是基於Tether在Bitdeer的日益增長的股份建立的。上個月，文件顯示，Tether通過其子公司Tether International和Tether Investments將其所有權提高到Bitdeer流通股的21.4％。

The timing of Tether’s purchase coincides with a downturn in the Bitcoin mining sector. Nasdaq-listed Bitdeer (BTDR) has seen its share price drop to $7.62, representing a nearly 67% decrease year-to-date.

Tether購買的時機與比特幣採礦部門的低迷相吻合。納斯達克上市的比特爾（BTDR）已將其股價下跌至7.62美元，降低了近67％。

For context, Bitdeer is one of the largest Bitcoin miners, and its stock decline is a significant development. In comparison, MARA Holdings (NYSE:MARA), the largest miner by market capitalization, has experienced a 26% decline in share price this year. Riot Platforms (NASDAQ:RIOT) shares have fallen over 38% during the same period.

在上下文中，比特爾是最大的比特幣礦工之一，其股票下跌是一個重大發展。相比之下，按市值計算的最大礦工Mara Holdings（NYSE：MARA）今年的股價下跌了26％。在同一時期，Riot Platforms（NASDAQ：RIOT）的股票下跌了38％以上。

According to investment bank JP Morgan, March was the worst month on record for 14 top public Bitcoin mining companies. These firms collectively lost 25% of their market value, equivalent to about $6 billion.

根據投資銀行JP Morgan的說法，三月是14家頂級公共比特幣礦業公司記錄下最糟糕的月份。這些公司共同損失了其市場價值的25％，相當於約60億美元。

The struggles facing miners stem from multiple factors. Bitcoin’s price has failed to maintain momentum after reaching an all-time high near $109,000 in January. The cryptocurrency was recently trading at around $85,000, up 7% over the past week but still well below its peak.

面對礦工的鬥爭源於多種因素。一月份達到歷史最近的109,000美元，比特幣的價格無法保持動力。加密貨幣最近的交易價格約為85,000美元，在過去一周中增長了7％，但仍低於其峰值。

Moreover, rising mining difficulty has placed pressure on operations. This increase makes it harder for miners to recover their costs, forcing many to look for additional funding sources.

此外，採礦難度越來越大，給運營帶來了壓力。這種增加使礦工更難收回成本，迫使許多人尋找額外的資金來源。

Data from CryptoQuant showed that miners were selling their Bitcoin holdings at an increased rate. On April 7, miners sold a total of 15,000 BTC—the third-largest daily outflow this year—worth approximately $1.12 billion.

來自CryptoQuant的數據表明，礦工正在以更高的速度出售其比特幣持有量。 4月7日，礦工總共出售了15,000 BTC（今年的第三大每日流出），約為11.2億美元。

Tether’s investment strategy indicates a broader interest in the Bitcoin mining space beyond its core stablecoin business. On Monday, the company announced it would support Bitcoin mining pool Ocean by providing hash rate to help mine blocks and collect BTC rewards.

Tether的投資策略表明，超出其核心Stablecoin業務的比特幣採礦空間具有更大的興趣。週一，該公司宣布將通過提供哈希速率來幫助礦場並收集BTC獎勵，以支持比特幣採礦池海洋。

The company is best known for USDT, the largest stablecoin and third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. USDT is designed to maintain a stable value backed by dollars, treasuries, and other investments.

該公司以市值為最大的Stablecoin和第三大加密貨幣而聞名。 USDT旨在保持穩定的價值，並以美元，國庫和其他投資為支持。

Tether has faced regulatory scrutiny in the past. In February 2021, Tether agreed to stop doing business in New York following a two-year state attorney general investigation that found the company had “made false statements about the backing” of its stablecoin.

繫繩過去曾面臨監管審查。 2021年2月，Tether同意在一項為期兩年的州檢察長調查後，他同意停止在紐約開展業務，該調查發現該公司對其穩定的股份“對支持”進行了“虛假陳述”。

Since then, Tether has been focusing on transparency and released several reports on its activities. The company also stated it is working with a Big Four accounting firm to obtain an independent audit.

從那時起，繫繩一直專注於透明度，並發布了有關其活動的幾份報告。該公司還表示，它正在與一家四大會計師事務所合作以獲得獨立審核。

Bitdeer, founded by Jihan Wu, is pursuing a strategy of vertical integration in the Bitcoin sector. The company aims to control all aspects of its operations, including producing mining chips and managing its own power sources.

由Jihan Wu創立的Bitdeer正在追求比特幣部門垂直整合的策略。該公司旨在控制其運營的各個方面，包括生產採礦芯片和管理自己的電源。

Recent test results for Bitdeer’s SEALMINER A3 chip showed performance below 10 J/TH in laboratory conditions. This development aligns with Bitdeer’s focus on enhancing mining efficiency and optimizing energy usage.

Bitdeer Sealminer A3芯片的最新測試結果顯示，在實驗室條件下，性能低於10 j/th。這一發展與Bitdeer專注於提高采礦效率和優化能源使用的關註一致。

Earlier this year, Bitdeer announced that Tether had purchased $100 million in shares through private placement financing, with an option to buy another $50 million later.

今年早些時候，Bitdeer宣布，Tether通過私人安置融資購買了1億美元的股票，可以選擇再購買5000萬美元。

Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, expressed interest in working closely with Bitdeer on “critical infrastructure projects.” Tether has also entered El Salvador’s Volcano Energy mining project, showcasing its deeper involvement in the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Tether首席執行官Paolo Ardoino表示有興趣與Bitdeer在“關鍵基礎設施項目”上密切合作。 Tether還進入了El Salvador的火山能源開採項目，展示了其對比特幣生態系統的更深層次。

Linghui Kong, Chief Business Officer at Bitdeer, highlighted that Tether’s support would contribute to accelerating Bitdeer’s growth and leadership position in sustainable and efficient Bitcoin mining.

Bitdeer首席業務官Linghui Kong強調，Tether的支持將有助於加速Bitdeer在可持續和高效的比特幣採礦中的增長和領導地位。

This partnership also reflects the expanding scope of cryptocurrency firms as they venture beyond their core focus to explore opportunities in technology and energy sectors, potentially seeking to diversify revenue streams during market downturns.

該合作夥伴關係還反映了加密貨幣公司不斷擴大的範圍，因為他們冒險超越了他們的核心重點來探索技術和能源領域的機會，並有可能尋求在市場低迷期間多樣化的收入來源。
