HIVE Digital 將總部遷至聖安東尼奧，理由是川普政府對加密產業成長的支持

這項轉變凸顯了人們對加密貨幣及相關業務日益增長的興趣。加密貨幣是一種數位形式的貨幣，例如比特幣，獨立於中央機構或政府運作。

Cryptocurrency mining firm HIVE Digital is relocating its headquarters from Vancouver to San Antonio, following Donald Trump’s re-election and in response to the administration's support for the crypto industry's growth.

在唐納德·川普連任之後，為了回應政府對加密產業成長的支持，加密貨幣挖礦公司 HIVE Digital 正在將其總部從溫哥華遷至聖安東尼奧。

The company highlighted the Trump administration's pro-Bitcoin stance and its focus on innovation and regulatory frameworks for the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

該公司強調了川普政府支持比特幣的立場及其對加密貨幣生態系統創新和監管框架的關注。

“The United States offers a competitive and business-friendly regulatory environment, along with access to capital markets,” the company said in a statement. “Texas, in particular, stands out for its supportive business climate, energy infrastructure, and skilled workforce.”

該公司在一份聲明中表示：“美國提供了一個有競爭力且有利於商業的監管環境，以及進入資本市場的機會。” “德克薩斯州尤其以其支持性的商業環境、能源基礎設施和熟練的勞動力而脫穎而出。”

The move comes amid growing interest in cryptocurrency and related businesses. Cryptocurrency is a digital form of currency, such as Bitcoin, that operates independently of a central authority or government.

此舉是在人們對加密貨幣及相關業務越來越感興趣的背景下發生的。加密貨幣是一種數位形式的貨幣，例如比特幣，獨立於中央機構或政府運作。

Following China’s 2021 ban on crypto mining, U.S. mining activity surged, with Texas emerging as the top destination for large-scale operations.

2021 年中國禁止加密貨幣挖礦後，美國挖礦活動激增，德州成為大規模挖礦的首選目的地。

Cryptocurrency mining is the process of using computer power to solve complex mathematical problems in order to validate transactions and secure a cryptocurrency network, earning new coins as a reward.

加密貨幣挖礦是使用電腦能力解決複雜數學問題以驗證交易並保護加密貨幣網路安全並賺取新硬幣作為獎勵的過程。

However, the rise of cryptomining in Texas has also sparked concerns. Critics argue that industrial-scale Bitcoin mining is driving up energy prices and straining the state’s power grid. Local politicians have raised alarms about the environmental impact and potential risks to the state's energy infrastructure.

然而，德州加密貨幣挖礦的興起也引發了擔憂。批評者認為，工業規模的比特幣挖礦正在推高能源價格，對國家電網帶來壓力。當地政界人士對該州能源基礎設施的環境影響和潛在風險提出了警告。

In addition to its favorable regulatory environment, HIVE also highlighted the U.S.'s status as a hub for funding opportunities.

除了有利的監管環境外，HIVE 還凸顯了美國作為融資機會中心的地位。

“The U.S. capital markets, with their $40 trillion capitalization and daily trading volumes of $500 billion, offer unparalleled liquidity, visibility and growth potential,” said Frank Holmes, executive chairman of HIVE.

HIVE 執行主席 Frank Holmes 表示：“美國資本市場擁有 40 兆美元的資本總額和 5000 億美元的日交易量，提供了無與倫比的流動性、可見性和增長潛力。”

Korok Ray, a cryptocurrency researcher and associate professor at Texas A&M University, welcomed the move.

德州農工大學加密貨幣研究員兼副教授 Korok Ray 對此舉表示歡迎。

“Bringing more Bitcoin mining to Texas is a positive development for the state,” he said. “It proves that a favorable regulatory regime for this new technology attracts business. Texas lawmakers should continue to support Bitcoin, following the lead of Senator Ted Cruz.”

「將更多的比特幣開採帶到德克薩斯州對該州來說是一個積極的發展，」他說。 「這證明對這項新技術有利的監管制度會吸引業務。德克薩斯州立法者應該在參議員特德·克魯茲的帶領下繼續支持比特幣。

The move to San Antonio is expected to contribute further to the region's growing reputation as a crypto-friendly destination.

遷往聖安東尼奧預計將進一步提升該地區作為加密友善目的地的聲譽。

Andy Gonzalez, co-founder of the San Antonio Crypto Network — a grassroots group focused on cryptocurrency education and long-term local investment — believes the recent resurgence in interest was inevitable once Wall Street began backing Bitcoin.

聖安東尼奧加密網絡（San Antonio Crypto Network）的聯合創始人安迪岡薩雷斯（Andy Gonzalez）認為，一旦華爾街開始支持比特幣，最近的興趣復甦是不可避免的。貨幣教育和長期本地投資的草根組織。

Gonzalez agreed that HIVE’s move to San Antonio is a good sign for the industry, which he said is a boon for Texas.

岡薩雷斯同意 HIVE 遷往聖安東尼奧對該行業來說是一個好兆頭，他說這對德克薩斯州來說是一個福音。

He added that while he understands the energy concerns some state residents have voiced, recent technological developments have seen mining centers also help the state have a surplus of stored energy, which could prove to be useful to the grid during times of high demand.

他補充說，雖然他理解一些州居民表達的能源擔憂，但最近的技術發展表明採礦中心也幫助該州擁有過剩的儲存能源，這可能在高需求時期對電網有用。

“If the government is pro-Bitcoin we’re all better for it,” he said. “Otherwise the tech and the dollars it brings goes elsewhere — to whoever embraced it.”

「如果政府支持比特幣，我們就會更好，」他說。 “否則技術和它帶來的美元就會流向其他地方——無論是誰接受它。”
