Stablecoin issuer Tether Holdings Ltd. has made a $100 million equity investment in Bitdeer Technologies Group, a U.S.-listed Bitcoin mining company controlled by Chinese billionaire Jihan Wu.

稳定币发行商 Tether Holdings Ltd. 向 Bitdeer Technologies Group 进行了 1 亿美元的股权投资，Bitdeer Technologies Group 是一家由中国亿万富翁吴忌寒控制的美国上市比特币矿业公司。

On May 30, 2024, Bitdeer sold 18,587,360 Class A ordinary shares to Tether, according to a statement. The company also granted Tether an option to buy an additional 5 million shares at $10 each, which could raise another $50 million.

一份声明称，2024 年 5 月 30 日，Bitdeer 向 Tether 出售了 18,587,360 股 A 类普通股。该公司还授予 Tether 以每股 10 美元的价格额外购买 500 万股股票的选择权，这可能会再筹集 5000 万美元。

The shares were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or state securities laws, and they may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption. Bitdeer said it planned to file registration statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the resale of shares issued in this private placement.

这些股票未根据 1933 年《证券法》或州证券法进行注册，未经注册或适用豁免，不得在美国发售或出售。 Bitdeer表示，计划向美国证券交易委员会提交本次私募发行股票转售登记声明。

Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. acted as the placement agent for the transaction.

The agreement marks a significant step for Tether in its quest to become a major player in Bitcoin mining. Last year, the company began building out mining facilities in Uruguay, Paraguay and El Salvador, and it pledged to invest $500 million within six months.

该协议标志着 Tether 在成为比特币挖矿主要参与者的道路上迈出了重要一步。去年，该公司开始在乌拉圭、巴拉圭和萨尔瓦多建设采矿设施，并承诺在六个月内投资 5 亿美元。

Bitdeer, which was founded in 2018 as a spin-off from Bitmain, operates data centers in the United States, Norway and Bhutan. It manages equipment procurement, logistics, construction and daily operations at these facilities.

Bitdeer 成立于 2018 年，是从比特大陆分拆出来的，在美国、挪威和不丹运营数据中心。它管理这些设施的设备采购、物流、施工和日常运营。

The company also provides advanced cloud capabilities for AI-intensive tasks. According to the statement, Bitdeer plans to allocate these funds towards expanding its data centers, developing ASIC-based mining rigs and supporting general corporate activities.

该公司还为人工智能密集型任务提供先进的云功能。根据声明，Bitdeer 计划将这些资金用于扩大其数据中心、开发基于 ASIC 的采矿设备以及支持一般企业活动。

“We regard Bitdeer as one of the strongest vertically integrated operators in the Bitcoin mining industry, differentiated by its cutting-edge technologies and a robust R&D organization,” said Paolo Ardoino, Tether’s CEO. “Bitdeer's proven track record and world-class management team align perfectly with Tether's long-term strategic vision. We anticipate close collaboration with Bitdeer across several key infrastructure areas moving forward.”

Tether 首席执行官 Paolo Ardoino 表示：“我们认为 Bitdeer 是比特币挖矿行业最强大的垂直整合运营商之一，其优势在于其尖端技术和强大的研发组织。” “Bitdeer 的良好业绩记录和世界一流的管理团队与 Tether 的长期战略愿景完美契合。我们预计未来将与 Bitdeer 在几个关键基础设施领域开展密切合作。”

Mining is just one of the areas that Tether is currently focused on. The largest stablecoin issuer has been actively diversifying beyond its core operations. In April, the company reorganized into four divisions: Tether Data, Tether Finance, Tether Power and Tether Edu. This restructuring aims to extend the company’s influence across various sectors of the emerging crypto industry.

挖矿只是 Tether 目前重点关注的领域之一。这家最大的稳定币发行人一直在积极实现其核心业务以外的多元化。 4 月，公司重组为四个部门：Tether Data、Tether Finance、Tether Power 和 Tether Edu。此次重组旨在扩大公司在新兴加密货币行业各个领域的影响力。

The company’s strategy has proven successful, as evidenced by its financial results. In the first quarter, Tether reported significant profits. USDT's market capitalization reached a record $111 billion, which accounted for 77% of the trading volume among the top ten stablecoins on centralized exchanges.

该公司的战略已被证明是成功的，其财务业绩就证明了这一点。第一季度，Tether 公布了可观的利润。 USDT市值达到创纪录的1110亿美元，占中心化交易所前十大稳定币交易量的77%。

Tether’s investment in Bitdeer is a strategic step in the development of the crypto economy. By supporting Bitcoin mining, the company secures a critical component of the crypto ecosystem. This move aligns with Tether's broader strategy to diversify its portfolio and reinforce the stability and reliability of USDT through investments in blockchain technology, exemplified by its partnership with Bitdeer.

Tether对Bitdeer的投资是加密经济发展的战略一步。通过支持比特币挖矿，该公司确保了加密生态系统的关键组成部分。此举符合 Tether 更广泛的战略，即通过投资区块链技术来实现投资组合多元化并增强 USDT 的稳定性和可靠性，其与 Bitdeer 的合作就是例证。
