特朗普家族正在與一家名為American Bitcoin的新公司一起進入比特幣（BTC）採礦業務。

根據3月31日的新聞稿，埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）和小唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump Jr.）與公開交易加密基礎設施公司Hut 8合作，開設了一家比特幣礦業公司American Bitcoin。

The Trump family is venturing into the Bitcoin (BTC) mining industry with a new company, American Bitcoin, in partnership with crypto firm Hut 8 (TSX: HUT).

特朗普家族與新公司American Bitcoin與Crypto Firm Hut 8（TSX：TSX：HUT）合作進入比特幣（BTC）採礦業。

The company will be 20% owned by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., while Hut 8 will hold the remaining 80% stake.

該公司將由埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）和小唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump Jr.）擁有20％，而小屋8將持有剩餘的80％的股份。

American Bitcoin will initially concentrate on mining operations and build a strategic Bitcoin reserve. There are also plans to potentially pursue a public listing for the company in the future.

美國比特幣最初將專注於採礦業務並建立戰略性比特幣儲備。也有計劃將來可能為該公司提供公開上市。

“We may never be able to say this again, but the Trump family is entering the Bitcoin mining business,” said Donald Trump Jr.

小唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump Jr.

“From the start, we’ve backed our conviction in Bitcoin – personally and through our businesses. But simply buying Bitcoin is only half the story. Mining it on favorable economics opens an even bigger opportunity.”

“從一開始，我們就個人和通過我們的業務都支持了對比特幣的信念。但是，僅僅購買比特幣只是故事的一半。在有利的經濟學上挖掘它可以打開更大的機會。”

This venture marks a continuation of the Trump family’s involvement in the crypto sector, which also includes projects like World Liberty Financial and a potential stablecoin.

這項冒險標誌著特朗普家族參與加密貨幣部門的延續，該領域還包括世界自由財務和潛在的Stablecoin等項目。

Despite concerns regarding Bitcoin mining’s environmental footprint, Eric Trump, who will serve as the company’s chief strategy officer, highlights that lower energy costs in the U.S. will grant American miners a competitive advantage on a global scale.

儘管擔心比特幣採礦的環境足跡，但將擔任公司首席戰略官的埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）強調，降低美國的能源成本將使美國礦工在全球範圍內具有競爭優勢。

Asher Genoot, the CEO of Hut 8, adds that American Bitcoin will benefit from its competitive edge in low energy costs and scalable infrastructure.

HUT 8的首席執行官Asher Genoot補充說，美國比特幣將從低能成本和可擴展基礎設施中的競爭優勢中受益。

In exchange for the 80% stake in American Bitcoin, Hut 8 will contribute 61,000 mining machines and house the operations at 11 U.S. data centers.

為了換取美國比特幣80％的股份，Hut 8將貢獻61,000台礦業機，並將運營設在美國11個數據中心。

Hut 8’s stock price rose by 6.4% in response to the announcement. However, its stock is still trading 42.8% lower compared to the beginning of the year.

響應公告，小屋8的股價上漲了6.4％。但是，與今年年初相比，其股票仍低42.8％。

Genoot further explained the rationale behind the partnership:

Genoot進一步解釋了合作夥伴關係背後的理由：

“By carving out our mining business into a standalone entity, which will raise its own capital, we align each segment of the business with its respective cost of capital. The transaction creates two focused yet complementary businesses, each purpose-built for its respective mandate. It evolves Hut 8 toward more predictable, financeable, lower-cost-of-capital segments and establishes American Bitcoin as a pure-play mining platform built for exahash growth, Bitcoin production, and operating leverage.”

“通過將我們的採礦業務劃分為獨立的實體，這將籌集自己的資本，我們將業務的每個部分與各自的資本成本保持一致。該交易創建了兩個集中但互補的業務，每個專門為其各自的授權而設計。比特幣生產和運營槓桿作用。”
