Crusoe Energy是一家捕獲從石油到電力高性能計算的廢氣的公司，將其比特幣採礦業務出售給紐約數字投資集團（NYDIG）

Crucso Energy, a company that captures waste gas from oil to power high-performance compute, is selling its Bitcoin mining business to New York Digital Investment Group (NYDIG) to focus on artificial intelligence.

Crucso Energy是一家捕獲從石油到電力高性能計算的廢氣的公司，將其比特幣採礦業務出售給紐約數字投資集團（NYDIG），以專注於人工智能。

In a March 25 announcement, Crusoe (NYSE: CRSO) said it plans to sell its Bitcoin (BTC) mining operation, including its digital flare mitigation business, to NYDIG, subject to regulatory approvals and other consents.

在3月25日的公告中，Crusoe（NYSE：CRSO）表示，它計劃出售其比特幣（BTC）採礦業務，包括其數字耀斑減輕業務，向NYDIG出售，並獲得監管批准和其他同意。

The deal includes Crusoe’s 270 megawatts of power generation technology from more than 425 modular data centers across the U.S. and Argentina, along with 135 Crusoe employees who will join NYDIG, as no roles will be eliminated as a result of the transaction.

該交易包括Crusoe的270兆瓦發電技術，來自美國和阿根廷的425多個模塊化數據中心，以及將加入NYDIG的135名Crusoe員工，因為該交易將不得刪除任何角色。

Crusoe was founded in 2018 and pioneered technology that captures waste gas created during oil extraction and refinement that would be normally burned off in a process called gas flaring to power Bitcoin miners.

Crusoe成立於2018年，並開創性的技術捕獲了在提取石油和改進期間產生的廢氣，通常在稱為氣體燃燒比特幣礦工的過程中被燒毀。

It converts the gas or “stranded energy” into electricity used to power the high-performance compute required for Bitcoin mining and AI data centers. Some reports suggest that Crusoe’s Bitcoin mining operation accounts for 1% of the world’s Bitcoin mining.

它將氣體或“滯留能量”轉換為電力，用於為比特幣挖掘和AI數據中心所需的高性能計算提供電力。一些報告表明，克魯索的比特幣採礦業務佔世界比特幣採礦的1％。

However, Crusoe says it now wants to focus its tech on building out AI infrastructure.

但是，克魯索說，現在它希望將其技術集中在建立AI基礎設施上。

“The AI business — it’s become the majority of our revenue,” Cully Cavness, the co-founder, president and chief operating officer of Crusoe, told CNBC (s video segment is embedded above).

Crusoe的聯合創始人，總裁兼首席運營官Cully Cavness告訴CNBC（上面已嵌入了CNBC）：“ AI業務已成為我們收入的大部分。”

The company recently expanded its AI data center in Abilene, Texas, to 1.2 gigawatts around the same time it announced a joint venture with investment firm Engine No. 1 to develop large-scale data center campuses across the U.S. to build out AI capabilities.

該公司最近在德克薩斯州阿比林（Abilene）將其AI數據中心擴展到了1.2吉瓦（Gigawatts），大約在同一時間宣布與第一號投資公司發動機合資，以開發整個美國的大型數據中心校園，以建立AI功能。

Last year in December, it closed $600 million in a Series D round at a $2.8 billion valuation to power AI.

去年12月，它在D賽季D回合中以28億美元的估值為AI，收盤6億美元。

“We see a huge opportunity in front of us, and we have a big advantage and a big head start with what we’ve already announced — and more coming soon,” added Cavness.

“我們在我們面前看到了一個巨大的機會，我們在我們已經宣布的內容上有很大的優勢，而且很快就會出發，而且很快就會將會出現。”

NYDIG said that the acquisition of Crusoe’s Bitcoin mining business will help expand its role in supporting Bitcoin’s proof-of-work security.

NYDIG表示，收購Crusoe的比特幣採礦業務將有助於擴大其在支持比特幣的工作證明安全方面的作用。

NYDIG founder and executive chairman Ross Stevens said that “it is critically important to keep the Bitcoin network secure, and at the lowest possible cost,” claiming that fiat currencies are “collapsing against Bitcoin around the world.”

NYDIG的創始人兼執行董事長羅斯·史蒂文斯（Ross Stevens）表示：“保持比特幣網絡的安全至關重要，並且以最低的可能成本非常重要，”聲稱法定貨幣“對全球的比特幣崩潰”。
