广泛使用的稳定币 USDT 的发行人 Tether 收购了 Bitdeer Technologies Group 价值 1 亿美元的股份，这是一项重大进展

Stablecoin issuer Tether has acquired $100 million in US-listed Bitcoin miner Bitdeer Technologies Group, with an option to purchase an additional $50 million shares.

稳定币发行商 Tether 已以 1 亿美元收购了美国上市的比特币矿商 Bitdeer Technologies Group，并可选择购买额外 5000 万美元的股票。

This development comes as part of Tether's strategy to expand its presence in the Bitcoin mining sector. The company undertook a massive hiring spree last year to bolster its mining operations.

这一发展是 Tether 扩大其在比特币挖矿领域业务战略的一部分。该公司去年进行了大规模招聘，以加强其采矿业务。

In a significant development, Tether has now acquired a $100 million stake in Bitdeer Technologies Group. Notably, the deal includes an option for Tether to purchase an additional $50 million shares within a year.

Tether 现已收购 Bitdeer Technologies Group 价值 1 亿美元的股份，这是一项重大进展。值得注意的是，该交易包括 Tether 在一年内额外购买 5000 万美元股票的选择权。

Tether’s Multi-Million Dollar Stake In Bitdeer

According to Bloomberg, the subscription agreement between Tether and Bitdeer involved a private placement of 18.6 million Class A ordinary shares, generating $100 million in gross proceeds. Notably, a warrant allows Tether to acquire up to five million additional shares at $10 per share. The private placement concluded on Thursday, with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. acting as the placement agent.

据彭博社报道，Tether 和 Bitdeer 之间的认购协议涉及私募 1860 万股 A 类普通股，产生总收益 1 亿美元。值得注意的是，认股权证允许 Tether 以每股 10 美元的价格额外收购最多 500 万股。此次私募于周四结束，Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. 担任配售代理。

Bitdeer stated that the funds from the agreement will support the expansion of its data center operations, the development of application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) based crypto mining equipment, and other general corporate purposes. However, details regarding the percentage of Bitdeer held by Tether under the agreement were not disclosed.

Bitdeer表示，该协议的资金将支持其数据中心业务的扩展、基于专用集成电路（ASIC）的加密挖矿设备的开发以及其他一般企业用途。不过，Tether 根据协议持有 Bitdeer 的比例细节并未披露。

This agreement represents a significant step for Tether in its goal to become a major player in Bitcoin mining. Last year, the company began constructing its own mining facilities in Uruguay, Paraguay, and El Salvador, pledging to invest $500 million within six months.

该协议代表 Tether 朝着成为比特币挖矿主要参与者的目标迈出了重要一步。去年，该公司开始在乌拉圭、巴拉圭和萨尔瓦多建设自己的采矿设施，并承诺在六个月内投资 5 亿美元。

Bitdeer, headquartered in Singapore, is among the largest publicly-listed crypto miners in the United States, with a market capitalization of approximately $670 million. The company operates data centers in the United States, Norway, and Bhutan.

Bitdeer 总部位于新加坡，是美国最大的上市加密货币矿商之一，市值约为 6.7 亿美元。该公司在美国、挪威和不丹运营数据中心。

Following the news of the agreement, Bitdeer’s shares, which had declined by over 40% this year, rose by around 6.5% to $6.20.

协议消息传出后，今年下跌超过 40% 的 Bitdeer 股价上涨约 6.5% 至 6.20 美元。

Earlier this year, Bitdeer was reportedly in discussions with private credit firms to secure approximately $100 million in financing. Whether these discussions will continue following Tether's capital injection into the company remains unclear.

据报道，今年早些时候，Bitdeer 正在与私人信贷公司讨论以获得约 1 亿美元的融资。 Tether 向该公司注资后，这些讨论是否会继续尚不清楚。

Bitcoin mining involves the operation of power-intensive computers that secure the blockchain and earn new tokens as a reward. In April, the rewards were halved as part of a programmed network upgrade known as “The Halving,” which occurs every four years. This change effectively reduced the profitability of Bitcoin mining by approximately half.

比特币挖矿涉及电力密集型计算机的运行，这些计算机保护区块链并赚取新的代币作为奖励。今年 4 月，作为称为“减半”的计划网络升级的一部分，奖励减半，该升级每四年进行一次。这一变化实际上使比特币挖矿的盈利能力降低了大约一半。

In contrast, BTC’s price hit a record high of $73,700 in March, driven by optimism surrounding the launch of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States. As of this writing, the largest cryptocurrency is trading at $67,150, down more than 3% in the past 24 hours.

相比之下，受美国推出现货比特币交易所交易基金（ETF）的乐观情绪推动，BTC 价格在 3 月份创下 73,700 美元的历史新高。截至撰写本文时，最大的加密货币交易价格为 67,150 美元，在过去 24 小时内下跌超过 3%。
