由于电价下跌 80%，德克萨斯州比特币 (BTC) 挖矿负载在 8 月份增加了 30%

新数据显示，随着该州电价暴跌，8 月份德克萨斯州的比特币 (BTC) 挖矿量增长了 30%。

The State of Texas is quickly becoming a crypto mining hub thanks to its low electricity prices and supportive regulatory environment. According to new data, Bitcoin (BTC) mining in Texas increased by 30% in August as electricity prices in the state plummeted.

由于其低廉的电价和支持性的监管环境，德克萨斯州正在迅速成为加密货币挖矿中心。新数据显示，随着该州电价暴跌，8 月份德克萨斯州的比特币 (BTC) 挖矿量增长了 30%。

The new figures were shared by Pierre Rochard, vice president of BTC mining firm Riot Platforms, on the social media platform X.

BTC 矿业公司 Riot Platforms 副总裁 Pierre Rochard 在社交媒体平台 X 上分享了这些新数据。

“Texas Bitcoin mining load increased 30%. August electricity prices fell 80%. Anti-Bitcoin critics in disbelief,” wrote Rochard, who has 58,200 followers on the platform.

“德克萨斯州比特币挖矿负载增加了 30%。 8月份电价下跌80%。反比特币批评者难以置信，”在该平台上拥有 58,200 名粉丝的 Rochard 写道。

According to Rochard’s chart, Bitcoin miners used 1,750,000 MHw (megawatt-hours) in August 2023, while in 2024, that figure jumped up to about 2,300,000 MHw, a 31% year-over-year increase.

根据 Rochard 的图表，比特币矿工在 2023 年 8 月使用了 1,750,000 MHw（兆瓦时），而到 2024 年，这一数字跃升至约 2,300,000 MHw，同比增长 31%。

The data also reveals a drastic drop in the price of electricity. In August 2023, the average price of electricity in the state was about $190 per MHw. A year later, that price tag cratered to just $40 per MHw, a 79.52% drop.

数据还显示电价大幅下降。 2023 年 8 月，该州平均电价约为每兆瓦 190 美元。一年后，该价格跌至每兆瓦 40 美元，下降了 79.52%。

This news comes on the heels of a recent report from the Texas Blockchain Council (TBC) that highlighted the state's potential to become a global leader in Web3 and digital asset innovation.

在此消息发布之前，德克萨斯州区块链委员会 (TBC) 最近发布了一份报告，该报告强调了该州成为 Web3 和数字资产创新全球领导者的潜力。

The report, which was presented to Texas Governor Greg Abbott, outlined several key areas for collaboration between the state and the Web3 industry, including education, workforce development, and regulatory initiatives.

这份提交给德克萨斯州州长 Greg Abbott 的报告概述了该州与 Web3 行业之间合作的几个关键领域，包括教育、劳动力发展和监管举措。

Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) began a survey on crypto mining energy use, but the effort was quickly halted after being met with legal challenges from Riot and the TBC.

今年早些时候，美国能源部 (DOE) 开始对加密货币挖矿能源使用情况进行调查，但在遇到 Riot 和 TBC 的法律挑战后，这项工作很快就停止了。

At the time, the DOE stated that it was interested in identifying key areas of growth in terms of mining and the energy use implications of mining crypto assets.

当时，能源部表示有兴趣确定采矿业的关键增长领域以及采矿加密资产对能源使用的影响。
