比特币（BTC）本周着火，过去七天增长了12％

比特币（BTC 1.57％）本周着火，截至美国东部时间上周五下午2点，过去7天增长了12％。

Rising trade tensions have put investors in a skittish mood all year. But as the U.S. trade outlook improved this week, it helped put investors in the mood for riskier assets, like growth stocks and cryptocurrencies.

贸易紧张局势的上升使投资者全年都处于刺耳的氛围中。但是，随着美国贸易展望本周的改善，它有助于使投资者享受风险较高的资产，例如增长股票和加密货币。

That move helped propel Bitcoin (BTC 1.57%) higher this week, rising 12% over the past seven days by Friday afternoon. As the world’s largest cryptocurrency rose, so too did some of its biggest miners.

这一举动使本周提高了比特币（BTC 1.57％）的推进，在过去的七天到周五下午，比特币上涨了12％。随着世界上最大的加密货币的上升，其一些最大的矿工也是如此。

TeraWulf (WULF -1.48%) shares rose 36% this week, Riot Platforms (RIOT -0.06%) jumped 26.1%, and MARA Holdings (MARA 2.21%) is up 17% for the week.

Terawulf（Wulf -1.48％）本周股价上涨了36％，Riot Platforms（Riot -0.06％）上涨了26.1％，Mara Holdings（Mara 2.21％）在一周中增长了17％。

Bitcoin's big moveCryptocurrencies rose sharply this week as trade tensions eased around the world. The tensions didn't technically have anything to do with cryptocurrencies, but they certainly impact the value of tokens.

随着世界各地的贸易紧张局势缓解，比特币的大型货币货币本周急剧上升。从技术上讲，紧张局势与加密货币无关，但它们肯定会影响令牌的价值。

Bitcoin, in particular, has proven to be highly correlated with growth stocks and magnifies the market’s move in general. So, when investors bought growth stocks earlier this week, it’s no surprise that Bitcoin was up sharply as well.

尤其是比特币已被证明与增长库存高度相关，并扩大了市场的总体迁移。因此，当投资者本周早些时候购买了增长股票时，比特币也急剧上升也就不足为奇了。

What’s interesting about the move recently is that Bitcoin hasn't been a hedge to the market or a safe haven to investors. Gold rose as the market fell, which is what many investors would expect Bitcoin to do, but it didn't, falling with the rest of the market.

最近，这一举动有趣的是，比特币并不是市场的对冲，也不是投资者的避风港。当市场下降时，黄金上升了，这是许多投资者期望比特币会做的事情，但并非如此，与其他市场有关。

Why Bitcoin miners were up so much

为什么比特币矿工会这么多

So, why were Bitcoin miners up more than Bitcoin itself? They tend to be a leveraged bet on the price of Bitcoin for two reasons.

那么，为什么比特币矿工比比特币本身要多？由于两个原因，它们往往是对比特币价格的杠杆赌注。

First, Bitcoin is their source of revenue, and when Bitcoin rises, they all make more money. The second impact is the Bitcoin they already hold on the balance sheet. MARA Holdings had 46,000 Bitcoins at its last disclosure, Riot Platforms has 19,223 Bitcoins, and TeraWulf has $274.5 million in cash and Bitcoin.

首先，比特币是他们的收入来源，当比特币上升时，它们都赚了更多的钱。第二个影响是他们已经在资产负债表上持有的比特币。 Mara Holdings在上次披露中有46,000个比特币，Riot Platforms拥有19,223个比特币，Terawulf拥有2.745亿美元的现金和比特币。

Higher Bitcoin values quite literally improve their balance sheets.

较高的比特币值实际上可以改善其资产负债表。

The other big news item for miners this week was Riot Platforms announcing a $100 million credit facility with Coinbase (COIN 2.74%) backed by Bitcoin. Coinbase has begun making loans to consumers with Bitcoin as backing, but this is the biggest deal it's done with a corporation.

本周矿工的另一个大新闻是Riot Platforms，宣布由比特币支持的Coinbase（硬币2.74％）的1亿美元信用额度。 Coinbase已开始向具有比特币作为支持的消费者向消费者贷款，但这是公司完成的最大交易。

If Riot and others can use Bitcoin as collateral for loans that will fund growth, it could be another catalyst for their businesses. Bitcoin mining hasn't been the easiest business to finance historically so this is welcome news for the industry. Given the high value of Bitcoin on their balance sheets, this could be a great funding source long term.

如果Riot和其他人可以将比特币用作资助增长的贷款的抵押品，那么这可能是其业务的另一个催化剂。比特币采矿并不是历史上最简单的业务，因此这是该行业的欢迎新闻。鉴于比特币在资产负债表上的价值很高，这可能是长期资金来源。

Bitcoin is the key

比特币是关键

Ultimately, the price of Bitcoin is going to determine the fortune of these companies. It's their source of revenue and a huge part of their balance sheets.

最终，比特币的价格将决定这些公司的财富。这是他们的收入来源，也是他们资产负债表的很大一部分。

Investors also need to keep in mind the leveraged nature of the mining business. Values have gone up sharply as Bitcoin has risen, but if we go through another crypto winter we can see both balance sheets and operations deteriorate quickly. If that kind of risk isn't what you're looking for, Bitcoin is a great alternative.

投资者还需要牢记采矿业务的杠杆性质。随着比特币的增长，价值观急剧上升，但是如果我们经历另一个加密冬季，我们可以看到资产负债表和操作迅速恶化。如果这种风险不是您要寻找的风险，那么比特币是一个不错的选择。
