Bitfarms完成了對據點數字採礦（SDIG）的收購，成為PJM市場上最大的比特幣礦工

這使Bitfarms成為PJM市場上最大的比特幣礦工，並使它在美國“ Crypto Capital”中更大。”

The world crypto capital is getting bigger in the U.S. As Bitfarms has completed buying Stronghold Digital Mining (SDIG), this makes the former the biggest Bitcoin miner in the PJM market and gives it a much bigger presence in the U.S. crypto scene.

隨著Bitfarms已完成購買據點數字採礦（SDIG），全球加密貨幣資本正在越來越大，這使得前PJM市場上最大的比特幣礦工，並在美國加密貨幣現場的業務更大。

The acquisition, with a transaction value of more than $110 million, will become the largest merger and acquisition case between two listed Bitcoin mining companies.

交易價值超過1.1億美元的收購將成為兩家上市比特幣礦業公司之間最大的合併和收購案例。

Bitfarms bought Stronghold in a stock-for-stock merger. For every share of Stronghold that a shareholder owned, they got 2.52 shares of Bitfarms. To that end, Stronghold then became a fully owned subsidiary of Bitfarms.

Bitfarms通過股票合併購買了據點。對於股東擁有的據點的每一部分，他們都獲得了2.52股Bitfarms。為此，據點，據點成為Bitfarms的完全擁有的子公司。

Since the deal is now official, about 59,678,164 Bitfarms common shares and 10,574,848 Bitfarms warrants are being given out. Also, around $44.5 million was paid at closing to pay off any remaining Stronghold loans.

由於該交易現在是正式的，因此簽發了約59,678,164份Bitfarms普通股和10,574,848個Bitfarms認股權證。此外，結束時，支付了大約4450萬美元，以還清剩餘的任何據點。

Based on Bitfarms’ current market value of $553 million and the number of shares outstanding, this is a big loss for current shareholders—about 21%. However, the assets that were bought give the business a lot more operating scale and new ways to make money.

基於Bitfarms當前的5.53億美元市場價值和未償還的股票數量，這對現有股東來說是巨大的損失，約為21％。但是，購買的資產為業務提供了更多的運營規模和新的賺錢方式。

What does this acquisition mean for Bitfarms?

這次收購對Bitfarms意味著什麼？

Bitfarms’s decision to buy Stronghold Digital Mining is a big strategic move that improves the company’s operations and position in the crypto mining market.

Bitfarms購買據點數字採礦的決定是一項巨大的戰略舉措，可改善公司在加密礦山市場中的運營和地位。

Perhaps most interestingly, the U.S. sites that ASG and WWT are setting up are ideal for making next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computer (HPC) systems. As partners WWT and ASG prepare to turn the sites they bought into HPC/AI facilities, Bitfarms has more choices than just crypto mining. That could mean more stable ways to make money that don’t depend as much on how much Bitcoin costs.

也許最有趣的是，ASG和WWT設置的美國網站是製造下一代人工智能（AI）和高性能計算機（HPC）系統的理想選擇。當合作夥伴WWT和ASG準備將購買的網站轉變為HPC/AI設施時，Bitfarms的選擇不僅僅是加密礦業開採。這可能意味著更穩定的方法來賺錢，這不大程度取決於比特幣的成本。

The deal also gives Bitfarms a bigger energy portfolio right away, with 623 Megawatts Under Management and an extra 1.1 GW in the works for growth in Pennsylvania.

這項交易還使Bitfarms立即提供了更大的能源投資組合，其中有623兆瓦的管理層管理層，並在賓夕法尼亞州的增長中額外進行了1.1 GW。

The acquisition also changes where Bitfarms does business. It will do 80% of its work in North America by the end of 2025. This could make the business less risky. Bitfarms now has most of the largest energy markets in North America.

Bitfarms開展業務的情況下，收購也會改變。到2025年底，它將在北美完成80％的工作。這可能會使業務的風險降低。 Bitfarms現在擁有北美最大的能源市場。

“The completion of this strategic acquisition further expands our U.S. footprint and makes us the industry leader in the PJM market ... This marks the start of an exciting new chapter for Bitfarms, and we’re thrilled to welcome the talented Stronghold team to write that chapter with us,” said Ben Gagnon, CEO of Bitfarms.

Bitfarms首席執行官Ben Gagnon說：“這項戰略收購的完成進一步擴大了我們的足跡，使我們成為PJM市場的行業領導者……這標誌著Bitfarms激動人心的新章節的開始，我們很高興歡迎有才華的據點與我們一起寫這篇章節。”

Earlier this year, Riot Platforms, the second-biggest Bitcoin miner, tried to take over Bitfarms but failed, so it chose to keep a 20% share.

今年早些時候，第二大比特比特幣礦工Riot Platforms試圖接管Bitfarms，但失敗了，因此選擇保持20％的份額。

This Friday, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will also hold a meeting with leaders in the crypto business to discuss how crypto assets can be used as securities. This meeting is likely to affect how crypto industry regulation will change in the future.

這個星期五，美國證券交易委員會（SEC）還將與加密貨幣業務的領導人舉行會議，討論如何將加密資產用作證券。這次會議可能會影響加密貨幣行業法規未來的變化。

BITF stands for Bitfarms shares, which are selling slightly lower on the NASDAQ and the Toronto Stock Exchange ahead of the market opening. After the market opens, Stronghold will no longer trade on the NASDAQ under the code SDIG.

BITF代表BITFARMS股票，在市場開業之前，納斯達克股票和多倫多證券交易所的售價略低。市場開放後，根據《代碼》 SDIG，據點將不再在納斯達克交易。

Purchase amidst BTC downturn – Is this good timing?

在BTC低迷中購買 - 這是好的時機嗎？

Bitcoin has seen increased traction ever since the U.S. president began vouching for it. Although the government will not be purchasing more Bitcoin, the coin stands a chance to be a strategic reserve in the leading nation economically.

自從美國總統開始為此保證以來，比特幣一直在增加牽引力。儘管政府不會購買更多比特幣，但硬幣是在經濟上成為領先國家的戰略儲備的機會。

Moreover, BTC evanglist Michael Saylor says the coin is a good investment. Strategy has been buying Bitcoin regularly since the end of October.

此外，BTC福音傳教士邁克爾·塞勒（Michael Saylor）說，硬幣是一項不錯的投資。策略自10月底以來一直定期購買比特幣。

A statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission today shows that the company that used to be MicroStrategy bought 130 Bitcoin from March 10 to 16 at an average price of about $82,981. It now has about $41.6 billion worth of Bitcoin.

美國證券交易委員會（US Securities and Exchange Commission）的一份聲明表明，曾經是MicroStrategy的公司從3月10日至16日以82,981美元的價格購買了130比特幣。現在，它擁有價值約416億美元的比特幣。

Furthermore, this is what Trump wanted: that Bitcoin mining and Bitcoin investments go back to America. Meanwhile, Strategy shares are up about 2.7% so far this year, while Bitcoin is down about 11%.

此外，這就是特朗普想要的：比特幣採礦和比特幣投資可以追溯到美國。同時，今年迄今為止，戰略股價上漲了約2.7％，而比特幣則下跌了約11％。
