BTC从ATW合作伙伴筹集了5780万美元，以扩大其以太坊基础设施策略

公开交易的公司BTCS宣布了一项由投资公司ATW Partners领导的5780万美元的融资协议，以购买Ether，因为它扩大了其区块链基础设施策略。

Publicly traded company BTCS has announced a $57.8 million financing agreement led by investment firm ATW Partners to be used for purchasing Ether as it expands its blockchain infrastructure strategy.

公开交易的公司BTCS已宣布，由投资公司ATW Partners领导的5780万美元的融资协议将用于购买Ether，因为它扩大了区块链基础设施策略。

The Rockville, Maryland-based company announced the deal on May 14, saying that the move will allow it to expand validator node operations and build recurring revenue from Ether (ETH) staking.

这家总部位于马里兰州的罗克维尔公司于5月14日宣布了这笔交易，称此举将允许其扩展验证器节点操作并从Ether（Eth）Statik制作经常性收入。

The move follows Strategy’s (formerly MicroStrategy) high-profile Bitcoin (BTC) accumulation blueprint and will leverage Ethereum for long-term growth, BTCS CEO Charles Allen added.

BTCS首席执行官Charles Allen补充说，此举是遵循策略（以前是微观）备受瞩目的比特币（BTC）堆积蓝图的（将要利用以太坊的长期增长）。

“We are executing a disciplined strategy to increase our Ethereum exposure and drive recurring revenue through staking and our block building operations,” Allen said.

艾伦说：“我们正在执行一项纪律严明的策略，以增加以太坊的暴露，并通过Staking和我们的块建筑物运营来推动经常性收入。”

BTCS issues initial $7.8 million convertible notes

BTCS发行最初的780万美元可转换票据

As part of the agreement, BTCS issued an initial $7.8 million tranche in convertible notes, with the option to draw an additional $50 million in funding subject to mutual agreement.

作为该协议的一部分，BTCS发行了最初的780万美元的可转换票据，并可以选择额外的5000万美元的资金，但要遵守共同协议。

The notes are convertible to BTCS common stock at a fixed price of $5.85 per share, almost 200% more than the company’s $1.99 stock price on May 13. 

这些票据可转换为BTCS普通股，固定价格每股5.85美元，比该公司5月13日的股票价格高出近200％。

The notes carry a two-year maturity and a 6% annual interest rate. This means that BTCS has two years to repay the loan if it’s not converted into stock, and that while the notes are active, the company will pay 6% in interest yearly. 

票据持有两年的成熟度和6％的年利率。这意味着，如果BTC没有转换为股票，则有两年的时间来偿还贷款，并且在票据处于活动状态时，该公司每年将支付6％的利息。

In simple terms, investors are betting that BTCS stock will rise. In exchange, the company gains access to capital for scaling its Ethereum operations.

简而言之，投资者押注BTCS股票将上升。作为交换，该公司获得了资本的范围来扩展其以太坊运营。

Investors also received an option to buy 1.9 million shares at $2.75 each for the next five years. This is much higher than the current stock price but lower than the conversion rate stated in the agreement. 

投资者还收到了未来五年购买190万股以2.75美元购买190万股的选择。这远高于目前的股票价格，但低于协议中所述的转换率。

The financing agreement follows the company’s recent use of the lending protocol Aave to borrow funds to acquire ETH. However, the company did not disclose in the announcement how much ETH it had acquired through the protocol.

融资协议遵循公司最近使用贷款方案AAVE借入资金来获取ETH的情况。但是，该公司没有在公告中披露其通过协议获得了多少ETH。
