特朗普的儿子回到比特币矿业公司，即将公开

由埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）和小唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump Jr.）支持的采矿公司美国比特币周一表示，它将通过与上市公司Gryphon Digital Mining的合并在纳斯达克公开公开。

A bitcoin mining company backed by President Donald Trump’s sons announced plans to go public Monday through a merger that gives the family a foothold in the U.S. and Canadian energy business.

由唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统的儿子支持的一家比特币矿业公司宣布，计划通过合并，使该家庭立足于美国和加拿大能源业务。

American Bitcoin, the mining firm backed by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., said Monday that it would go public on the Nasdaq through a merger with public company Gryphon Digital Mining. The combined company will operate as American Bitcoin, which lists Eric Trump as a co-founder and chief strategy officer.

由埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）和小唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump Jr.）支持的采矿公司美国比特币周一表示，它将通过与上市公司Gryphon Digital Mining的合并在纳斯达克公开公开。合并后的公司将以美国比特币的身份运营，该比特币将埃里克·特朗普列为联合创始人兼首席战略官。

The merger marks a more aggressive move by the Trump family into the electricity infrastructure that enables its digital currency business. American Bitcoin started out as a subsidiary of the Miami-based energy infrastructure company Hut 8, which has a portfolio of 15 sites in the United States and Canada totaling more than 1,000 megawatts of energy capacity. Hut 8 will act as American Bitcoin’s exclusive infrastructure and operations partner, according to the companies’ announcement, and American Bitcoin previously said it would co-locate miners at Hut 8 sites.

该合并标志着特朗普家族向电力基础设施进行了更为积极的举动，该基础设施使其数字货币业务。美国比特币最初是位于迈阿密的能源基础设施公司HUT 8的子公司，该公司在美国和加拿大拥有15个地点的投资组合，总计超过1,000兆瓦的能源容量。根据公司的宣布，小屋8将充当美国比特币的独家基础设施和运营合作伙伴，而美国比特币此前表示将在HUT 8网站上共同设置矿工。

A presentation by American Bitcoin says that the new venture aims to “become a category leader in the Bitcoin ecosystem” and to achieve “mining leadership” through “Hut 8’s energy advantage, rapid execution and proven team.” The company, the presentation says, can also leverage and expand “access to low-cost power, establishing a fundamental operational advantage” to its mining business.

美国比特币的一项演讲说，这项新事业旨在“成为比特币生态系统中的类别领导者”，并通过“小屋8的能源优势，快速执行和验证的团队”来实现“采矿领导力”。演讲说，该公司还可以利用和扩展“获得低成本权力，为其采矿业务建立基本的运营优势”。

Upon returning to Washington, Trump lost no time standing behind tech executives pledging hundreds of billions of dollars to build data centers big enough to command the lead over China in developing artificial intelligence. And Trump has said he wants the U.S. to be the crypto capital of the world, including by opening up energy resources to boost digital mining. “If crypto is going to define the future, I want it to be mined, minted and made in the USA,” Trump said at an industry conference last July while running for his second term.

返回华盛顿后，特朗普没有时间站在科技高管后面，承诺建造数千亿美元的数据中心，足以在发展人工智能方面占据中国的领先地位。特朗普表示，他希望美国成为世界的加密之都，包括开放能源资源以促进数字采矿。特朗普在去年7月的一次行业会议上说：“如果加密货币将定义未来，我希望将其开采，铸造和制造。”

The White House has framed Trump’s “energy abundance” agenda as an economic necessity for America’s powerful tech companies — largely to power an AI boom, but also for energy-hungry crypto mining and high-tech manufacturing. The White House has rolled out executive orders designed to speed permitting and bypass environmental rules to get data centers and power plants built more quickly. And the Energy Department plans to help private companies build data centers on federal land, including at national labs.

白宫将特朗普的“能源丰度”议程构成了美国强大的科技公司的经济必要性，这在很大程度上是为了动力AI繁荣，但也用于渴望能源的加密货币矿业和高科技制造。白宫发布了旨在加快允许和绕过环境规则的行政命令，以使数据中心和发电厂更快地建造。能源部计划帮助私营公司在包括国家实验室在内的联邦土地上建立数据中心。

Through American Bitcoin — a Hut 8 subsidiary that was briefly called American Data Center — the Trump family business venture is delving deeper into the energy space where federal policies under Trump intersect directly with access to electricity and fuels. And that comes as the energy industry is in some turmoil. On-again, off-again tariffs and the global economic implications are contributing to a slump in oil prices and pushing up costs for energy technology. Trump has put natural gas build-outs and reviving old coal plants at the center of his energy policy, while attacks on wind and solar power are pushing more of that investment to the sideline.

特朗普家族企业通过美国比特币（美国比特币（American Bitcoin）简要介绍了美国数据中心，该公司正在深入研究特朗普领导下的联邦政策直接与获得电力和燃料直接相交的能源空间。这是因为能源行业处于动荡之中。越来越多的关税和全球经济影响导致石油价格低迷并提高能源技术的成本。特朗普已经将天然气的积聚并恢复了他的能源政策的中心，而对风能和太阳能的攻击则将更多的投资推向了边线。

In an April call launching American Bitcoin, Eric Trump said the winner of the bitcoin race will be “whoever can do it best and most efficiently and most pragmatically, in the cheapest energy environments.”

在4月份发布美国比特币的电话中，埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）表示，在最便宜的能源环境中，比特币竞赛的获胜者将是“谁能做到最好，最有效，最务实地做到这一点”。

“We’ve got the best energy policy in this country. That policy is only getting better,” he said in April.

他在四月说：“我们拥有该国最好的能源政策。这一政策只会越来越好。”

The growing web of Trump-affiliated ventures, including a currency firm World Liberty Financial and the $TRUMP memecoin, are attracting greater scrutiny. Senate Democrats pulled support for bipartisan crypto legislation earlier this month after the Trump family business announced it had completed a $2 billion digital coin deal for a transaction led by MGX, a large investment fund backed by United Arab Emirates.

包括货币公司World Liberty Financial和$ Trump Memecoin在内的特朗普附属企业网络日益增长的网络正在吸引更大的审查。在特朗普家族企业宣布完成了由阿拉伯联合酋长国支持的大型投资基金MGX领导的交易中，参议院民主党本月初对两党加密立法的支持。

MGX is also an investor in Stargate, a U.S. data center megaproject that Trump rolled out on his first day in office. Stargate investors OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle and MGX are building its first project in Abilene, Texas, and plan to tap Texas natural gas production for electricity.

MGX还是Stargate的投资者，Stargate是美国数据中心的Megaproject，特朗普在办公室的第一天就推出了。星际之门投资者OpenAI，Softbank，Oracle和MGX正在德克萨斯州的Abilene建立其第一个项目，并计划利用德克萨斯州天然气生产进行电力。

Conflicts of interest

利益冲突

The decision to take American Bitcoin public by merging with a Nasdaq-traded firm increases access to technology investors, including those with interests in energy.

通过与纳斯达克贸易公司合并来使美国比特币公开的决定增加了与技术投资者的访问，包括对能源感兴趣的投资者。

The “mining” of digital currency requires massive amounts of computing power. The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimated last year that digital currency mining accounted for as much as 2.3 percent of the nation’s electricity use based on publicly available data. Plans to survey crypto companies about their energy consumption and sources of energy were halted after an industry lawsuit last year and have not been revived under the Trump administration.

数字货币的“采矿”需要大量的计算能力。美国能源信息管理局去年估计，基于公开可用的数据，数字货币开采占美国用电使用的2.3％。在去年的行业诉讼后，调查加密货币公司的能源消耗和能源的计划已停止，并且在特朗普政府的领导下尚未恢复。

American Bitcoin did not detail what sources of energy it planned to use or where it would build new mining sites. The company also did not reply to a request for comment.

美国比特币没有详细说明它计划使用的能源或建立新的采矿地点。该公司还没有回复置评请求。

Hut 8 currently owns some or all of 15 power and digital infrastructure sites in Canada and the U.S., according to regulatory filings. That includes a site powered by wind and grid connections in the Texas Pan

根据监管文件，HUT 8目前拥有加拿大和美国的15个电力和数字基础设施网站中的一些或全部。其中包括德克萨斯州锅中的风和电网连接供电的站点
