埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）的比特币采矿公司美国比特币将于今年公开

该公司周一宣布，由特朗普总统埃里克（Eric）总统埃里克（Eric）支持的一家比特币矿业公司将于今年公开。

A bitcoin mining firm co-founded by Eric Trump will go public later this year, deepening the Trump family's footprint in the cryptocurrency world.

由埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）共同创立的一家比特币采矿公司将于今年晚些时候公开公开，加深特朗普家族在加密货币世界中的足迹。

American Bitcoin — which lists Eric Trump as its co-founder and has its roots in a company backed by Donald Trump Jr. — is merging with publicly-traded Gryphon Digital Mining (NYSE: GRPH). The all-stock transaction will allow the firm backed by the Trump brothers to be listed on the Nasdaq exchange. The merger is expected to close as early as the third quarter of this year.

美国比特币（American Bitcoin）将埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）列为其联合创始人，并源于唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump Jr.）的一家公司 - 正在与公开交易的Gryphon Digital Mining（NYSE：GRPH）合并。全股交易将允许由特朗普兄弟支持的公司在纳斯达克交易所上市。合并预计最早将于今年第三季度结束。

The company's goals, according to an overview posted Monday, are to mine new bitcoin “below market cost” and to build up a reserve of the cryptocurrency.

根据周一发布的概述，该公司的目标是为“低于市场成本”的新比特币开采新的比特币，并建立加密货币的储备。

“Our vision for American Bitcoin is to create the most investable Bitcoin accumulation platform in the market,” Eric Trump said in a statement.

埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）在一份声明中说：“我们对美国比特币的愿景是建立市场上最可投资的比特币积累平台。”

American Bitcoin was launched in March, with crypto mining firm Hut 8 (CRYPTO: HUT) holding a majority stake. At the time, the company said it “aims to become the world's largest, most efficient pure-play Bitcoin miner.” It's the successor to American Data Centers, a venture backed by Eric Trump, his older brother Donald Trump Jr. and publicly traded Dominari Holdings (NYSE: DMR).

American Bitcoin于3月推出，加密矿业公司Hut 8（加密：小屋）持有多数股权。当时，该公司表示“旨在成为世界上最大，最有效的纯比特币矿工。”这是美国数据中心的继任者，这是由埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump），他的哥哥唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump Jr.）和公开交易多米纳里控股公司（NYSE：DMR）的一家企业。

Crypto mining also has a stamp of approval from Eric and Donald Trump Jr.'s father. The president pledged to make the U.S. a “bitcoin mining powerhouse” last year amid a crackdown on bitcoin in China, a leading hub for the industry.

加密矿山还获得了埃里克（Eric）和小唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的父亲的认可。总统承诺，去年，在中国对比特币的镇压（该行业的领先枢纽）镇压中，美国将成为美国的“比特币矿业强国”。

What is bitcoin mining — and why is it controversial?

什么是比特币采矿？为什么它有争议？

Bitcoin is decentralized, meaning it isn't controlled by any government or institution. Instead, the currency relies on independent actors — known as miners — who carry out complicated math problems to verify bitcoin transactions and list them on a public ledger known as a blockchain. As a reward for this work, miners earn units of bitcoin for crunching the numbers successfully.

比特币是分散的，这意味着它不受任何政府或机构的控制。取而代之的是，货币依赖于独立参与者（称为矿工），他们执行复杂的数学问题来验证比特币交易，并将其列入被称为区块链的公共分类帐。为了获得这项工作的奖励，矿工成功地将比特币赚钱。

The value of a bitcoin stands at around $102,000, and the reward for mining decreases over time as the number of bitcoin in circulation increases, making mining a lucrative endeavor. A team from Cambridge University estimates bitcoin uses about 187.9 terawatt-hours of electricity per year, more than the entire country of Egypt.

比特币的价值约为102,000美元，随着流通量的增加，采矿的奖励随着时间的推移而下降，这使得开采成为有利可图的努力。剑桥大学的一支团队估计，比特币每年使用约187.9吨的电力，比整个埃及国家都多。

Trump family's crypto empire grows

特朗普家族的加密帝国成长

The Trump brothers' foray into bitcoin mining marks the family's latest crypto venture. The president and his two eldest sons are backing the crypto exchange World Liberty Financial, which got a multi-billion dollar boost earlier this month from an Abu Dhabi-based firm, and Mr. Trump launched a highly volatile “meme coin” called $TRUMP in January.

特朗普兄弟对比特币开采的企业标志着该家庭的最新加密货币。总统和他的两个长子正在支持加密交易所世界自由金融，本月初从阿布扎比的一家公司获得了数十亿美元的提升，而特朗普先生在一月份发起了高度波动的“模因硬币”，称为$特朗普。

Crypto investments make up about $2.9 billion of the family's net worth, one report estimates.

一份报告估计，加密投资约占该家庭净资产的29亿美元。

The Trump family's interest in cryptocurrency has sparked criticism for potential conflicts of interest. Last week, Senate Democrats blocked a crypto regulation bill from moving forward and pushed for it to include new limits on elected officials participating in some types of crypto ventures, with Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts accusing Mr. Trump of “crypto corruption.”

特朗普家族对加密货币的兴趣引发了对潜在利益冲突的批评。上周，参议院民主党人阻止了一项加密法规法案向前迈进，并推动其对参与某些类型的加密货币的民选官员包括新的限制，而马萨诸塞州的民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）则指责特朗普先生“加密腐败”。

The White House has pushed back on the criticism. White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said last week Mr. Trump's “assets are in a trust managed by his children, and there are no conflicts of interest.”

白宫重新批评了。白宫发言人安娜·凯利（Anna Kelly）上周表示，特朗普先生的资产“是由他的孩子们管理的信托，没有利益冲突。”
