Already in September 2023, Texas became famous for being the American State leader in Bitcoin mining, with 28% of the entire hashrate owned by the USA.

早在 2023 年 9 月，德克萨斯州就因成为美国比特币挖矿领域的领先者而闻名，美国拥有整个算力的 28%。

In itself, currently, the USA is the leading country in the world of mining after China decided to ban the activity in the country in 2021. Specifically, the USA is attributed with 38% of the global hashrate.

就其本身而言，在中国决定于 2021 年禁止该国采矿活动后，目前美国已成为世界采矿业的领先国家。具体而言，美国占全球算力的 38%。

It must be said, however, that at the beginning of 2024, the Bitcoin hashrate metric suffered a sharp downward contraction, precisely due to the reduction of mining activities in Texas because of the unusual cold the country was experiencing.

然而，必须指出的是，2024 年初，比特币算力指标急剧下降，这正是由于德克萨斯州正经历异常寒冷而导致采矿活动减少。

Not by chance, at that moment, precisely the ERCOT, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, had asked the big miners like FoundryUSA, Luxor Mining Pool, and Marathon Digital to decrease the amount of electricity used. At that moment, the hashrate of Texas for Bitcoin mining therefore dropped by 25%.

并非偶然，就在那时，ERCOT（德克萨斯州电力可靠性委员会）要求 FoundryUSA、Luxor Mining Pool 和 Marathon Digital 等大型矿商减少用电量。此时，德克萨斯州的比特币挖矿算力因此下降了 25%。
