2024 年非洲比特币挖矿

许多当地比特币矿工，例如 Gridless，通过在肯尼亚利用水力和生物质进行的活动，继续展示非洲绿色比特币采矿和农村电气化的催化、标准化和创新方面的重要里程碑。

Ethiopia now produces 2.5% of the total global Bitcoin mining hashrate, more than double what the entire continent produced in 2023.

埃塞俄比亚目前的比特币挖矿算力产量占全球总量的 2.5%，是 2023 年整个非洲大陆产量的两倍多。

Following the green lighting of Bitcoin mining earlier this year, we've seen a significant increase in the Bitcoin mining operations there, with over $1 Billion spent on mining infrastructure in 2024 (according to reports).

继今年早些时候比特币挖矿获得批准后，我们​​看到那里的比特币挖矿业务显着增加，到 2024 年，挖矿基础设施的支出将超过 10 亿美元（据报道）。

Africa is a hotspot for global Bitcoin miners, as it hosts some of the world's cheapest green energy, such as Ethiopia's 3.2 cents per kilowatt-hour.

非洲是全球比特币矿商的热点地区，因为它拥有一些世界上最便宜的绿色能源，例如埃塞俄比亚的每千瓦时 3.2 美分。

Numerous local Bitcoin miners, such as Gridless, continue to showcase the significant milestones in catalyzing, standardizing, and innovating green Bitcoin mining and rural electrification in Africa with their activities using hydro and biomass in Kenya.

许多当地的比特币矿工，例如 Gridless，通过在肯尼亚利用水力和生物质进行的活动，继续展示非洲绿色比特币采矿和农村电气化的催化、标准化和创新方面的重要里程碑。

As Bitcoin mining continues to rise on the continent, the Green Africa Mining Alliance, spearheaded by Gridless and other local Bitcoin miners such as Trojan Mining, whose operations in Nigeria have this year crossed the 1MW milestone, will continue to be necessary for providing best practices, case studies, and templates for the horde of new miners setting up in Africa.

随着比特币挖矿在非洲大陆持续兴起，由 Gridless 和 Trojan Mining 等其他本地比特币矿商牵头的绿色非洲矿业联盟将继续成为提供最佳实践的必要条件，Trojan Mining 在尼日利亚的业务今年已突破 1MW 里程碑、案例研究以及在非洲设立的大批新矿工的模板。

Bitcoin mining in 2024 remains domiciled mainly in East Africa, with Ethiopia leading in shear hashrate, which accounts for 2.5% of global hashrate. According to numbers from Ethiopia Electric Power (EEP), this year alone, Ethiopia raked in over $55 million from electricity sales for Bitcoin mining, which accounted for 18% of their total revenue.

2024 年的比特币挖矿仍主要集中在东非，其中埃塞俄比亚在剪切算力方面领先，占全球算力的 2.5%。根据埃塞俄比亚电力公司（EEP）的数据，仅今年一年，埃塞俄比亚就从比特币挖矿电力销售中获得了超过 5500 万美元的收入，占其总收入的 18%。

These revenues contributed to quickening the construction of the much-needed transmission lines to help deliver the electricity from its Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), which boasts a capacity of over 6 Gigawatts. Thus, Bitcoin mining is emerging as a suitable catalyst for delivering electricity to the country.

这些收入有助于加快急需的输电线路的建设，以帮助从容量超过 6 吉瓦的埃塞俄比亚大复兴大坝 (GERD) 输送电力。因此，比特币挖矿正在成为向该国输送电力的合适催化剂。

With the GERD now producing 30% (roughly 1,500 MW) of its planned capacity, coupled with the surge in interest to mine in Ethiopia, we can expect to see the EEP's revenues increase beyond the $100m mark and continue to fast-track the construction of transmission lines to electrify rural communities and provide electricity to millions of Ethiopians.

随着 GERD 目前已生产其计划产能的 30%（约 1,500 兆瓦），加上对埃塞俄比亚采矿的兴趣激增，我们预计 EEP 的收入将增长至超过 1 亿美元大关，并继续快速推进建设输电线路为农村社区供电并为数百万埃塞俄比亚人提供电力。

Following the successes in Ethiopia and developments yet to unfold from Kenya in 2025 as it proceeds with its partnership with MARA, other countries will also likely join in on providing an enabling environment for Bitcoin mining and leverage it as a tool to solve its energy challenges—as doing so has shown to provide the much-needed revenue to boost electricity infrastructure development, create jobs, sustainably electrify rural communities, and catalyze green energy production.

继埃塞俄比亚取得成功以及肯尼亚在 2025 年与 MARA 继续开展合作伙伴关系后尚未取得的进展之后，其他国家也可能会加入进来，为比特币挖矿提供有利的环境，并将其作为解决能源挑战的工具——事实证明，这样做可以提供急需的收入，以促进电力基础设施发展、创造就业机会、可持续地为农村社区提供电力以及促进绿色能源生产。

Additionally, as more Bitcoin mining gains ground in West Africa, 2025 could see countries such as Nigeria joining the Bitcoin mining race via hydroelectricity and flared gas, with other regions facing similar energy challenges joining the mix.

此外，随着越来越多的比特币挖矿在西非普及，到 2025 年，尼日利亚等国家可能会通过水力发电和火炬天然气加入比特币挖矿竞赛，而面临类似能源挑战的其他地区也会加入进来。

Bitcoin mining will continue to be a staple on the continent as countries continue to leverage it to sustainably catalyzing energy infrastructure development, rural electrification, and economic development through Bitcoin mining.

比特币挖矿将继续成为非洲大陆的主要产业，因为各国继续利用比特币挖矿来可持续地促进能源基础设施发展、农村电气化和经济发展。
