Tether 投资 Bitdeer 以增强其投资组合并支持比特币挖矿

全球最大稳定币 USDT 运营商 Tether 宣布对著名加密货币挖矿公司 Bitdeer 进行大量投资，以加强其投资组合。

Stablecoin issuer Tether continues to expand its footprint in the cryptocurrency industry with a strategic investment in Bitdeer, one of the world’s largest digital asset mining companies.

稳定币发行商 Tether 通过对全球最大数字资产挖矿公司之一 Bitdeer 的战略投资，继续扩大其在加密货币行业的足迹。

According to a recent SEC filing, Tether has entered into a subscription agreement to purchase up to $150 million of shares in Bitdeer, subject to certain conditions. The agreement includes an initial purchase of 18,587,360 Class A ordinary shares and a warrant to acquire up to an additional 5,000,000 shares at a price of $10.00 per share.

根据最近向 SEC 提交的文件，Tether 已签订认购协议，在满足一定条件的情况下购买最多 1.5 亿美元的 Bitdeer 股票。该协议包括首次购买 18,587,360 股 A 类普通股，以及以每股 10.00 美元的价格额外购买最多 5,000,000 股股票的认股权证。

As of the initial closing, the private placement has generated $100 million in gross proceeds from the issuance of shares, which could increase by an additional $50 million if the warrant is fully exercised.

截至初步交割，此次私募已通过发行股票产生了 1 亿美元的总收益，如果认股权证完全行使，该收益可能会额外增加 5000 万美元。

Bitdeer, which was spun off from Chinese mining machine manufacturer Bitmain in 2018, went public on Nasdaq in April 2023 through a merger with Blue Safari Group Acquisition, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). The initial announcement of the SPAC merger was made in November 2021.

比特鹿于 2018 年从中国矿机制造商比特大陆分拆出来，并通过与特殊目的收购公司 (SPAC) 的 Blue Safari Group Acquisition 合并，于 2023 年 4 月在纳斯达克上市。 SPAC 合并的初步公告于 2021 年 11 月发布。

Since going public, Bitdeer has reported strong financial performance, with its total revenue climbing to $368.6 million in 2023, up from $333.3 million the previous year. The company also successfully tested its internally designed bitcoin mining chip, designated as SEAL01.

自上市以来，Bitdeer 的财务业绩强劲，总收入从上一年的 3.333 亿美元攀升至 2023 年的 3.686 亿美元。该公司还成功测试了其内部设计的比特币挖矿芯片，编号为SEAL01。

In March, Jihan Wu, co-founder of Bitmain, joined Bitdeer as its CEO following his departure from Bitmain, which he left to start Bitdeer in 2020. Linghui Kong was appointed as the company’s chief business officer.

今年3月，比特大陆联合创始人吴忌寒从比特大陆离职后加入比特鹿担任首席执行官，并于2020年离开比特大陆创办比特鹿。孔令辉被任命为公司首席商务官。

The fresh capital infusion from Tether will primarily be used to fund Bitdeer’s expansion of its data centers and the development of a new application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC)-based mining rig, among other projects.

Tether 注入的新资金将主要用于资助 Bitdeer 数据中心的扩建以及新的基于专用集成电路 (ASIC) 的采矿设备的开发等项目。

“We are excited to have Tether join Bitdeer on our mission to lead sustainable Bitcoin mining,” said Linghui Kong, recently appointed as Chief Business Officer of Bitdeer. “This partnership will accelerate our growth and continued leadership in the large-scale sustainable bitcoin mining sector.”

最近被任命为 Bitdeer 首席商务官的孔令辉表示：“我们很高兴 Tether 加入 Bitdeer，共同履行我们引领可持续比特币挖矿的使命。” “这种伙伴关系将加速我们的发展并继续在大规模可持续比特币采矿领域保持领先地位。”

“Bitdeer has established a strong presence in the cryptocurrency industry with its cutting-edge technology and significant research and development efforts,” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether. “Their operations align with Tether’s strategic goals, and we look forward to collaborating closely in key infrastructure areas.”

Tether 首席执行官 Paolo Ardoino 表示：“Bitdeer 凭借其尖端技术和重大研发工作，在加密货币行业建立了强大的影响力。” “他们的运营符合 Tether 的战略目标，我们期待在关键基础设施领域密切合作。”

The market cheered the news of Tether’s investment, with Bitdeer’s stock (BTDR) showing an over 13% rise in intraday trading on the Nasdaq. This surge is indicative of investor confidence in the strategic partnership and Bitdeer’s robust financial health.

市场对 Tether 投资的消息欢呼雀跃，Bitdeer 的股票 (BTDR) 在纳斯达克盘中上涨了 13% 以上。这一激增表明投资者对战略合作伙伴关系和 Bitdeer 稳健的财务状况充满信心。

In addition to its core stablecoin operations, Tether has been expanding its business into different areas. In April, the company announced a restructuring into four divisions—Tether Data, Finance, Power, and Edu—to extend its influence across various sectors. This reorganization is part of Tether’s strategy to broaden its market impact and diversify its investments.

除了核心的稳定币业务外，Tether 还一直将业务扩展到不同领域。 4 月，该公司宣布重组为四个部门——Tether Data、Finance、Power 和 Edu——以扩大其在各个领域的影响力。此次重组是 Tether 扩大市场影响力和多元化投资战略的一部分。

These efforts have coincided with a record performance by Tether. In the first quarter, the company achieved substantial profits, with its stablecoin USDT hitting a new peak in market capitalization at $111 billion. According to CCData, USDT accounted for 77% of the trading volume among the top ten stablecoins on centralized exchanges.

这些努力与 Tether 创纪录的表现同时发生。一季度，该公司实现大幅盈利，旗下稳定币USDT市值再创新高，达到1110亿美元。 CCData数据显示，中心化交易所排名前十的稳定币交易量中，USDT占据了77%的份额。
