上周四，不丹通过主要加密货币交易所币安出售了 367 个比特币 (BTC)，套现约 3350 万美元，全球最大的加密货币交易价格继续突破 9 万美元大关。

周五，比特币价格升至 1 BTC 90,000 美元以上。截至昨天，1 BTC 相当于 90, 799 美元。

This latest sale marks the second significant Bitcoin sale for Bhutan in recent weeks after cashing out BTC worth about USD 66 million upon Bitcoins reaching USD 70,000 per BTC earlier this month. In recent weeks, Bhutan sold BTC worth almost USD 100 million.

这次最新的销售标志着不丹近几周来第二次重大的比特币销售，继本月初比特币价格达到每比特币 70,000 美元后，兑现了价值约 6600 万美元的比特币。最近几周，不丹出售了价值近1亿美元的比特币。

The Chief executive officer of the Druk Holding and Investments (DHI), Ujjwal Deep Dahal, said: “We hold assets in the form of Bitcoin and we started mining those assets in 2019 with our green hydropower.”

Druk Holding and Investments (DHI) 首席执行官 Ujjwal Deep Dahal 表示：“我们持有比特币形式的资产，并于 2019 年开始通过绿色水电开采这些资产。”

The country continues to be one of the bigger government Bitcoin holders with 12, 206 Bitcoin under the DHI, now worth about USD 1.11 billion. This is equivalent to over 35 percent of the country’s 2023 GDP at USD 3.02 billion or Nu 249.39 billion.

该国仍然是最大的政府比特币持有者之一，在 DHI 下拥有 12, 206 个比特币，目前价值约 11.1 亿美元。这相当于该国 2023 年 GDP 30.2 亿美元或 2,493.9 亿努元的 35% 以上。

With the recent cash out, Bhutan is now ranked fifth among countries holding BTC, after the United States, China, the United Kingdom, and Ukraine.

随着最近的兑现，不丹目前在持有比特币的国家中排名第五，仅次于美国、中国、英国和乌克兰。

Unlike other countries where BTC are more common from reported law enforcement asset seizures, Bhutan mines Bitcoin with abundant hydroelectric resources.

与执法部门扣押的比特币更为常见的其他国家不同，不丹利用丰富的水力发电资源来开采比特币。

Bhutan has established mining facilities at multiple locations, with the largest facility situated at the former Education City Project site. Bitcoin’s production cost is influenced by several factors, including electricity prices, project capital costs, and the difficulty rate of mining.

不丹在多个地点建立了采矿设施，其中最大的设施位于前教育城项目工地。比特币的生产成本受多种因素影响，包括电价、项目资金成本、挖矿难度等。

The fourth Bitcoin halving was completed in April 2024 and the next Bitcoin halving is expected to occur in 2028, meaning miners receive 50 percent fewer bitcoins for verifying transactions. The block reward will drop to 1.5625 new BTC from 3.125 new BTC in 2028.

第四次比特币减半于 2024 年 4 月完成，下一次比特币减半预计将在 2028 年发生，这意味着矿工收到的用于验证交易的比特币减少了 50%。 2028 年，区块奖励将从 3.125 个新 BTC 降至 1.5625 个新 BTC。

Bitcoin halving occurs once every 210,000 blocks, roughly every four years until the maximum supply of 21 million Bitcoins has been generated by the network until around 2140.

比特币每 210,000 个区块减半一次，大约每四年一次，直到 2140 年左右网络产生 2100 万个比特币的最大供应量。

In addition to the already Bitcoin mining centres in the country, Bhutan also aims to expand its mining capacity to 600 megawatts by 2025 in partnership with Bitdeer.

除了该国已有的比特币挖矿中心外，不丹还计划与 Bitdeer 合作，到 2025 年将其挖矿能力扩大到 600 兆瓦。

On May 3 last year, Bitdeer, a leading Nasdaq-listed technology company, and DHI announced a partnership for a USD 500 million project to develop environmentally sustainable, carbon-free digital asset mining operations.

去年5月3日，纳斯达克上市领先科技公司Bitdeer与DHI宣布合作启动一个5亿美元的项目，开发环境可持续、无碳的数字资产挖矿业务。

The first project, a 100MW Bicoin mine in Gedu began operations in mid-2023. A 500MW project at the Jigmeling Industrial Park in Gelephu is expected to be operational by mid-2025.

第一个项目是位于 Gedu 的 100MW 比特币矿场，于 2023 年中期开始运营。位于Gelephu Jigmeling工业园区的500MW项目预计将于2025年中期投入运营。

According to a World Bank report, Bhutan has invested USD 539 million in cryptocurrency mining operations over the last two fiscal years, from July 2021 to June 2023. This substantial investment has contributed to a significant decline in the country’s reserves.

根据世界银行的报告，不丹在过去两个财年（2021年7月至2023年6月）中投资了5.39亿美元用于加密货币挖矿业务。这笔巨额投资导致该国储备大幅下降。

During the period from July 2021 to June 2022, reserves dropped by 34.7 percent, falling from USD 1.27 billion to USD 832.9 million. By June 2023, reserves further decreased to USD 573 million, less than half of what they were in June 2021.

2021年7月至2022年6月期间，外汇储备下降34.7%，从12.7亿美元降至8.329亿美元。到2023年6月，外汇储备进一步减少至5.73亿美元，不到2021年6月的一半。

In terms of trade, Bhutan imported IT equipment valued at Nu 4 billion in 2023 and Nu 11.91 billion in 2022. In 2021, the country imported IT equipment worth Nu 4.33 billion.

贸易方面，不丹2023年进口IT设备价值40亿努，2022年进口119.1亿努。2021年，该国进口IT设备价值43.3亿努。

The Bank reported that DHI financed its cryptocurrency mining investments through loans from the Royal Monetary Authority to accelerate the country’s digital transformation and diversify its economy.

该银行报告称，DHI 通过皇家金融管理局的贷款为其加密货币挖矿投资提供资金，以加速该国的数字化转型并实现经济多元化。
