比特币矿业公司 IREN 在减半前飙升，获得大规模扩张资金

IREN 是一家总部位于不列颠哥伦比亚省的比特币矿商，在比特币减半之前，其股价飙升。该公司决定自筹资金实施 2024 年扩张计划，将其计算机队扩大一倍，这推动了其增长。 IREN 预计采矿能力从 8 EH/s 增加到 20 EH/s，数据中心功率从 220 MW 增加到 460 MW，这增强了投资者的信心，导致周一股价上涨 19%。这种飙升与加密货币股票的整体下跌无关，凸显了 IREN 作为一家拥有强大现金状况的低成本比特币矿商的独特地位。

Bitcoin Mining Firm IREN Soars Ahead of Halving, Secures Funding for Expansion

比特币矿业公司 IREN 在减半前飙升，获得扩张资金

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 6, 2023 – Bitcoin mining company IREN is riding a wave of investor enthusiasm on the eve of the upcoming Bitcoin halving, with its stock price surging significantly following the announcement of fully-funded 2024 expansion plans. The Vancouver-based firm revealed its ambitious growth strategy, which will propel its computing power and energy capacity to unprecedented heights, unlocking the potential to generate new wealth from the world's largest cryptocurrency.

不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华，2023 年 3 月 6 日——比特币挖矿公司 IREN 在即将到来的比特币减半前夕掀起了投资者的热情，在宣布全额资助的 2024 年扩张计划后，其股价大幅上涨。这家总部位于温哥华的公司公布了其雄心勃勃的增长战略，该战略将把其计算能力和能源能力推向前所未有的高度，释放从世界上最大的加密货币创造新财富的潜力。

In a comprehensive investor update on Monday, IREN disclosed a bold expansion plan that will witness its current mining capacity of 8 exahashes per second (EH/s) skyrocket to an astonishing 20 EH/s within the next nine months. This remarkable increase in computing prowess will be complemented by a more than doubling of its datacenter capacity, with power dedicated to Bitcoin mining and AI cloud services set to surge from 220 megawatts (MW) to an impressive 460 MW by year-end.

在周一的综合投资者更新中，IREN 披露了一项大胆的扩张计划，该计划将见证其当前每秒 8 艾哈什 (EH/s) 的挖矿能力在未来 9 个月内飙升至惊人的 20 EH/s。计算能力的显着增长将得到其数据中心容量增加一倍以上的补充，专用于比特币挖矿和人工智能云服务的电力将于年底从 220 兆瓦 (MW) 激增至令人印象深刻的 460 兆瓦。

The announcement sent shockwaves through the market, propelling IREN's stock price by an impressive 19% to a current valuation of $6.42 per share. The stock briefly touched an intraday high of $6.50, marking its highest price since February. This surge defied the prevailing trend of declining crypto stock prices, with industry peers Cleanspark (-9.8%), Coinbase (-2.7%), and MicroStrategy (-4.3%) all experiencing price erosion.

该公告震惊市场，推动 IREN 股价大幅上涨 19%，目前估值为每股 6.42 美元。该股盘中短暂触及 6.50 美元的高点，创下 2 月份以来的最高价。这种飙升违背了加密货币股价下跌的普遍趋势，行业同行 Cleanspark (-9.8%)、Coinbase (-2.7%) 和 MicroStrategy (-4.3%) 都经历了价格侵蚀。

IREN's exceptional performance stands apart from the broader crypto market's recent setbacks, highlighting the company's strong fundamentals and the growing recognition of Bitcoin mining as a viable investment opportunity. Since the launch of Bitcoin spot ETFs in January, several crypto-related stocks have basked in the glow of market inflows. While Bitcoin miners have not universally shared in these gains, IREN and other industry leaders have rebounded strongly in recent weeks, reasserting their position as attractive high-volatility plays for investors seeking exposure to Bitcoin's price fluctuations.

IREN 的卓越表现与更广泛的加密货币市场最近的挫折截然不同，突显了该公司强劲的基本面以及人们日益认识到比特币挖矿作为可行的投资机会。自 1 月份推出比特币现货 ETF 以来，一些与加密货币相关的股票一直沐浴在市场资金流入的光芒中。虽然比特币矿商并未普遍分享这些收益，但 IREN 和其他行业领导者最近几周强劲反弹，重申了其作为对寻求比特币价格波动投资的投资者有吸引力的高波动性股票的地位。

In recent months, Bitcoin miners have faced a dual set of headwinds: the availability of Bitcoin ETFs has reduced the demand for mining stocks as a proxy for the underlying asset, and the impending Bitcoin halving – scheduled for April 20 – will reduce the reward for mining a block by 50%, potentially eroding profit margins for miners operating on tight margins.

近几个月来，比特币矿商面临着双重阻力：比特币 ETF 的出现减少了对作为基础资产代理的矿业股票的需求，而即将到来的比特币减半（定于 4 月 20 日）将减少矿商的奖励。开采一个区块 50%，可能会侵蚀利润微薄的矿工的利润率。

However, expert analysis indicates that most publicly traded miners, including IREN, are well-positioned to weather these storms. These companies are typically able to produce Bitcoin at a significantly lower cost than smaller competitors, providing them with a competitive advantage. IREN's latest update further bolsters this view, revealing that the company holds a substantial $300 million in cash with zero financial debt, providing a financial cushion to navigate any potential industry turbulence in the coming months.

然而，专家分析表明，包括 IREN 在内的大多数上市矿商都已做好应对这些风暴的准备。这些公司通常能够以比规模较小的竞争对手低得多的成本生产比特币，从而为他们提供竞争优势。 IREN 的最新更新进一步证实了这一观点，显示该公司持有 3 亿美元的现金且财务债务为零，为应对未来几个月任何潜在的行业动荡提供了财务缓冲。

Upon reaching full 20 EH/s capacity, IREN anticipates generating an annualized hardware revenue of $269 million. This projected revenue stream is a testament to the company's ambitious growth plans and its belief in the long-term prospects of Bitcoin mining. According to Yahoo Finance, IREN's current market capitalization stands at approximately $672.5 million, reflecting the market's recognition of the company's potential.

在达到 20 EH/s 容量后，IREN 预计将产生 2.69 亿美元的年化硬件收入。这一预计的收入流证明了该公司雄心勃勃的增长计划及其对比特币挖矿长期前景的信心。据雅虎财经报道，IREN目前的市值约为6.725亿美元，反映了市场对该公司潜力的认可。

"We believe our fully funded expansion plans position IREN as a leader in the Bitcoin mining industry," said Kyle Wang, CEO of IREN. "By significantly increasing our computing power and energy capacity, we are well-positioned to capitalize on the growth of the Bitcoin network and generate substantial value for our shareholders."

IREN 首席执行官凯尔·王 (Kyle Wang) 表示：“我们相信，我们的全额资助扩张计划将使 IREN 成为比特币挖矿行业的领导者。” “通过显着提高我们的计算能力和能源容量，我们处于有利地位，可以利用比特币网络的增长，为我们的股东创造可观的价值。”

As the Bitcoin halving approaches, IREN's strategic investments and strong financial position set the company apart from its peers. The expansion plans outlined in Monday's update demonstrate IREN's unwavering commitment to the Bitcoin mining industry and its belief in the future of digital assets.

随着比特币减半的临近，IREN 的战略投资和强劲的财务状况使该公司在同行中脱颖而出。周一更新中概述的扩张计划表明了 IREN 对比特币挖矿行业坚定不移的承诺以及对数字资产未来的信念。
