比特幣礦商因減半收入而將業務轉移到海外

預計比特幣減半將大幅減少挖礦獎勵，美國估計有 6,000 台過時的礦機將被退役並翻新，轉售給尋求具有成本效益的挖礦機會的海外買家。舊機器的大規模外流是出於降低電力成本的需要，電力成本是礦業公司最大的開支。因此，採礦作業預計將轉移到能源成本較低的地區，例如非洲和南美洲。

Bitcoin Miners Shift Operations Overseas Amid Halving-Driven Revenue Decline

比特幣礦商在減半導致收入下降的情況下將業務轉移到海外

Approximately 6,000 aging Bitcoin mining machines in the United States will be decommissioned and shipped to a refurbishment facility in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The equipment will be refreshed and resold to international buyers seeking to capitalize on lower mining costs.

美國大約 6000 台老化的比特幣礦機將退役並運送到科羅拉多州科羅拉多斯普林斯的一家翻新設施。這些設備將被更新並轉售給尋求利用較低採礦成本的國際買家。

Wholesaler SunnySide Digital manages the 35,000-square-foot facility receiving the machines from a mining client. The obsolete units are part of a larger pool of several hundred thousand machines that SunnySide Digital anticipates receiving and refurbishing in the lead-up to a significant quadrennial update in the Bitcoin blockchain.

批發商 SunnySide Digital 管理著 35,000 平方英尺的設施，接收來自採礦客戶的機器。這些過時的設備是由數十萬台機器組成的更大池的一部分，SunnySide Digital 預計在比特幣區塊鏈四年一次的重大更新之前接收並翻新這些機器。

Known as the halving, the event scheduled for late April will drastically reduce the block reward, which constitutes the primary revenue stream for miners. To mitigate the impact, miners are upgrading to the latest, most efficient technology.

計劃於 4 月底舉行的減半活動將大幅減少區塊獎勵，而區塊獎勵是礦工的主要收入來源。為了減輕影響，礦商正在升級到最新、最高效的技術。

With electricity representing the largest expense, publicly traded mining giants such as Marathon Digital Holdings Inc. and Riot Platforms Inc. must minimize their energy consumption to maintain profitability. While their older machines may still generate profits, they are unlikely to do so in the United States.

由於電力是最大的開支，Marathon Digital Holdings Inc. 和 Riot Platforms Inc. 等上市礦業巨頭必須最大限度地減少能源消耗，以保持獲利能力。雖然他們的舊機器仍可能產生利潤，但他們不太可能在美國這樣做。

"It's a natural migration," said Taras Kulyk, Chief Executive Officer of SunnySide Digital, which has resold US-based computers to miners in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Paraguay, and Uruguay. "This is accelerated by the halving."

SunnySide Digital 執行長Taras Kulyk 表示：「這是一種自然的遷移。」該公司已將美國的電腦轉售給埃塞俄比亞、坦尚尼亞、巴拉圭和烏拉圭的礦工。 “減半加速了這種情況。”

According to Ethan Vera, Chief Operating Officer at Seattle-based crypto-mining services and logistics provider Luxor Technology, approximately 600,000 S19 series computers, which account for the majority of machines currently in use, are being relocated from the US, primarily to Africa and South America.

總部位於西雅圖的加密貨幣挖礦服務和物流提供商 Luxor Technology 的首席營運長 Ethan Vera 表示，大約 60 萬台 S19 系列電腦（佔目前使用的機器的大部分）正在從美國轉移，主要轉移到非洲和南美洲。

In Bitcoin mining, specialized machines are utilized to validate transactions on the blockchain, earning operators a fixed token reward. The halving event will reduce this reward by 50%, forcing miners to seek more cost-effective locations to maintain profitability.

在比特幣挖礦中，使用專門的機器來驗證區塊鏈上的交易，為營運商贏得固定的代幣獎勵。減半事件將使這項獎勵減少 50%，迫使礦工尋找更具成本效益的地點以維持獲利能力。

The shift overseas is expected to intensify as the halving approaches. Miners are evaluating their options, considering factors such as energy costs, regulatory environments, and infrastructure availability. Countries with low electricity rates and supportive regulatory frameworks are likely to attract a significant portion of the displaced mining operations.

隨著減半的臨近，海外轉移預計將加劇。礦商正在評估他們的選擇，考慮能源成本、監管環境和基礎設施可用性等因素。低電價和支持性監管框架的國家可能會吸引很大一部分流離失所的採礦作業。

The exodus of mining operations from the US highlights the challenges facing the industry in the face of declining revenue streams. Miners must continuously adapt to changing market conditions and technological advancements to remain profitable. The halving event will undoubtedly accelerate this process, leading to a global redistribution of Bitcoin mining operations.

採礦業務從美國外流凸顯了該產業在收入來源下降的情況下所面臨的挑戰。礦商必須不斷適應不斷變化的市場條件和技術進步才能保持獲利。減半事件無疑將加速這一進程，導致比特幣挖礦業務在全球重新分配。
