Marathon Digital 瞄準 Exahash 里程碑，制定雄心勃勃的算力目標

比特幣挖礦公司 Marathon Digital 已將 2024 年算力目標修改為每秒 50 exahashes (EH/s)，較先前的 35-37 EH/s 目標大幅提升。此次調整是在最近擴大馬拉松產能的收購之後進行的，該公司預計將獲得充足的資金來實現其新目標。

Marathon Digital 宣布雄心勃勃的算力目標為每秒 50 Exahash

Marathon Digital Holdings, a leading Bitcoin (BTC) mining company, has unveiled an ambitious goal to increase its hash rate target for 2024 to 50 exahashes per second (EH/s), a significant increase from its previous target of 35-37 EH/s. This announcement follows a series of recent acquisitions that have expanded Marathon's mining capacity.

領先的比特幣 (BTC) 挖礦公司 Marathon Digital Holdings 公佈了一項雄心勃勃的目標，即將 2024 年算力目標提高到每秒 50 EH/s，較之前 35-37 EH/s 的目標大幅提高s 。在此公告之前，Marathon 最近進行了一系列擴大採礦能力的收購。

"Considering our expanded capacity and current hash rate capabilities, we believe it is feasible to double the scale of Marathon's mining operations in 2024," said Fred Thiel, CEO of Marathon.

Marathon 執行長 Fred Thiel 表示：“考慮到我們擴大的產能和當前的算力能力，我們相信在 2024 年將 Marathon 挖礦業務規模擴大一倍是可行的。”

Marathon's growth strategy has been fueled by several strategic acquisitions over the past year. In March, the company purchased a 200-megawatt Bitcoin mining center from Digital Applied for $87.3 million. This was followed by the acquisition of two additional mining sites from Generate Capital for $179 million in December, bringing the company's total capacity to 390 megawatts.

過去一年中的幾項策略性收購推動了馬拉鬆的成長策略。 3月份，該公司以8,730萬美元的價格從Digital Applied購買了一座200兆瓦的比特幣挖礦中心。隨後，12 月以 1.79 億美元的價格從Generate Capital 收購了另外兩個礦場，使該公司的總產能達到 390 兆瓦。

Marathon's current hash rate stands at 24.7 EH/s, ranking it as the third-largest Bitcoin miner globally behind Core Scientific and Riot Platforms. Should Marathon achieve its target of 50 EH/s, it would represent a remarkable 100% increase in its hash rate since the beginning of 2024.

Marathon 目前的算力為 24.7 EH/s，是全球第三大比特幣礦商，僅次於 Core Scientific 和 Riot Platforms。如果 Marathon 實現 50 EH/s 的目標，則表示自 2024 年初以來其算力將顯著增加 100%。

Thiel emphasized that Marathon's expansion plans are "fully funded" and do not necessitate additional capital fundraising.

蒂爾強調，馬拉鬆的擴張計劃“資金充足”，不需要額外籌集資金。

The announcement of Marathon's increased hash rate target has been met with positive market sentiment. The company's stock (MARA) gained 4.5% in after-hours trading following the news, despite a slight dip of 0.42% to $19.01 earlier in the day.

馬拉松宣布提高哈希率目標得到了積極的市場情緒。消息傳出後，該公司股價 (MARA) 在盤後交易中上漲 4.5%，儘管當天早些時候小幅下跌 0.42% 至 19.01 美元。

Marathon's surge in stock value coincides with a broader uptrend in the cryptocurrency mining industry following the fourth Bitcoin halving event that occurred on April 20. During the halving, the block subsidy given to miners was reduced by 50% from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC.

Marathon 股價飆升，恰逢4 月20 日第四次比特幣減半事件後，加密貨幣挖礦行業出現更廣泛的上漲趨勢。減少了50%。

While the halving event decreased the amount of Bitcoin rewards miners receive, it has also contributed to an increase in transaction fees, providing an additional revenue stream for miners. On the day of the halving, the average transaction fee reached a record-breaking $128, benefiting miners significantly.

雖然減半事件減少了礦工獲得的比特幣獎勵數量，但也導致了交易費用的增加，為礦工提供了額外的收入來源。減半當天，平均交易費用達到破紀錄的128美元，礦工受惠。

Recent data from YCharts indicates that transaction fees have since declined to $28.20. However, the optimistic outlook for the Bitcoin mining industry remains, as the halving event historically has led to increased demand and price appreciation for Bitcoin.

YCharts 的最新數據表明，交易費用此後已降至 28.20 美元。然而，比特幣挖礦業的樂觀前景仍然存在，因為歷史上減半事件導致了比特幣需求的增加和價格的上漲。

As Marathon Digital ramps up its mining operations, it will further contribute to the decentralization and security of the Bitcoin network. The company's ambitious hash rate target demonstrates its commitment to the long-term growth of Bitcoin mining and the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.

隨著 Marathon Digital 加強挖礦業務力度，它將進一步為比特幣網路的去中心化和安全做出貢獻。該公司雄心勃勃的哈希率目標表明了其對比特幣挖礦和更廣泛的加密貨幣生態系統長期增長的承諾。
