比特币挖矿公司 Riot Platforms（纳斯达克股票代码：RIOT）宣布以 9250 万美元收购位于肯塔基州的竞争对手 Block Mining，以将其运营能力提高 16 exahashes/s（EH/s）。

The acquisition deal includes an $18.5 million cash payment and $74 million in Riot common stock, the company said in a press release on Monday. The transaction will immediately increase Riot’s self-mining hashrate by 1 EH/s, ramping up to 16 EH/s by 2025-end.

该公司在周一的新闻稿中表示，此次收购交易包括 1850 万美元的现金支付和 7400 万美元的 Riot 普通股。该交易将立即将 Riot 的自挖矿算力提高 1 EH/s，到 2025 年底将增至 16 EH/s。

“With a combined 60 MW of existing developed capacity and a pipeline to rapidly scale to over 300 MW, this acquisition expands our operations and further enhances our path towards our growth target of 100 EH/s,” said Jason Les, CEO of Riot Platforms.

Riot Platforms 首席执行官杰森·莱斯 (Jason Les) 表示：“现有已开发产能总计 60 兆瓦，并有可快速扩展至 300 兆瓦以上的管道，此次收购扩大了我们的业务，并进一步增强了我们实现 100 EH/s 增长目标的道路。” 。

Riot Platforms to also invest an additional $32.5 million through 2025 to boost the power capacity of Block Mining’s two operational sites in Kentucky. The company aims to scale up the infrastructure to support 110 MW for self-mining operations by 2024-end.

Riot Platforms 还将在 2025 年之前追加投资 3250 万美元，以提高 Block Mining 位于肯塔基州的两个运营基地的电力容量。该公司的目标是到 2024 年底扩大基础设施规模，以支持 110 兆瓦的自采矿作业。

Riot shares slid about 5.3% to trade at $11.59 on last check, according to Google Finance. The acquisition also comes after Riot Platforms offered $950 million to acquire another rival, Bitfarms. But the deal collapsed as Riot cited difficulties in engaging with the Bitfarms board and later called for a special shareholder meeting to discuss governance at the Toronto-based firm.

根据谷歌财经的数据，Riot 股价下跌约 5.3%，至 11.59 美元。此次收购也是在 Riot Platforms 出价 9.5 亿美元收购另一个竞争对手 Bitfarms 之后进行的。但由于 Riot 称与 Bitfarms 董事会接触存在困难，并随后呼吁召开特别股东大会来讨论这家总部位于多伦多的公司的治理问题，因此该交易失败了。
