Bitfarms完成了对据点数字采矿（SDIG）的收购，成为PJM市场上最大的比特币矿工

这使Bitfarms成为PJM市场上最大的比特币矿工，并使它在美国“ Crypto Capital”中更大。”

The world crypto capital is getting bigger in the U.S. As Bitfarms has completed buying Stronghold Digital Mining (SDIG), this makes the former the biggest Bitcoin miner in the PJM market and gives it a much bigger presence in the U.S. crypto scene.

随着Bitfarms已完成购买据点数字采矿（SDIG），全球加密货币资本正在越来越大，这使得前PJM市场上最大的比特币矿工，并在美国加密货币现场的业务更大。

The acquisition, with a transaction value of more than $110 million, will become the largest merger and acquisition case between two listed Bitcoin mining companies.

交易价值超过1.1亿美元的收购将成为两家上市比特币矿业公司之间最大的合并和收购案例。

Bitfarms bought Stronghold in a stock-for-stock merger. For every share of Stronghold that a shareholder owned, they got 2.52 shares of Bitfarms. To that end, Stronghold then became a fully owned subsidiary of Bitfarms.

Bitfarms通过股票合并购买了据点。对于股东拥有的据点的每一部分，他们都获得了2.52股Bitfarms。为此，据点，据点成为Bitfarms的完全拥有的子公司。

Since the deal is now official, about 59,678,164 Bitfarms common shares and 10,574,848 Bitfarms warrants are being given out. Also, around $44.5 million was paid at closing to pay off any remaining Stronghold loans.

由于该交易现在是正式的，因此签发了约59,678,164份Bitfarms普通股和10,574,848个Bitfarms认股权证。此外，结束时，支付了大约4450万美元，以还清剩余的任何据点。

Based on Bitfarms’ current market value of $553 million and the number of shares outstanding, this is a big loss for current shareholders—about 21%. However, the assets that were bought give the business a lot more operating scale and new ways to make money.

基于Bitfarms当前的5.53亿美元市场价值和未偿还的股票数量，这对现有股东来说是巨大的损失，约为21％。但是，购买的资产为业务提供了更多的运营规模和新的赚钱方式。

What does this acquisition mean for Bitfarms?

这次收购对Bitfarms意味着什么？

Bitfarms’s decision to buy Stronghold Digital Mining is a big strategic move that improves the company’s operations and position in the crypto mining market.

Bitfarms购买据点数字采矿的决定是一项巨大的战略举措，可改善公司在加密矿山市场中的运营和地位。

Perhaps most interestingly, the U.S. sites that ASG and WWT are setting up are ideal for making next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computer (HPC) systems. As partners WWT and ASG prepare to turn the sites they bought into HPC/AI facilities, Bitfarms has more choices than just crypto mining. That could mean more stable ways to make money that don’t depend as much on how much Bitcoin costs.

也许最有趣的是，ASG和WWT设置的美国网站是制造下一代人工智能（AI）和高性能计算机（HPC）系统的理想选择。当合作伙伴WWT和ASG准备将购买的网站转变为HPC/AI设施时，Bitfarms的选择不仅仅是加密矿业开采。这可能意味着更稳定的方法来赚钱，这不大程度取决于比特币的成本。

The deal also gives Bitfarms a bigger energy portfolio right away, with 623 Megawatts Under Management and an extra 1.1 GW in the works for growth in Pennsylvania.

这项交易还使Bitfarms立即提供了更大的能源投资组合，其中有623兆瓦的管理层管理层，并在宾夕法尼亚州的增长中额外进行了1.1 GW。

The acquisition also changes where Bitfarms does business. It will do 80% of its work in North America by the end of 2025. This could make the business less risky. Bitfarms now has most of the largest energy markets in North America.

Bitfarms开展业务的情况下，收购也会改变。到2025年底，它将在北美完成80％的工作。这可能会使业务的风险降低。 Bitfarms现在拥有北美最大的能源市场。

“The completion of this strategic acquisition further expands our U.S. footprint and makes us the industry leader in the PJM market ... This marks the start of an exciting new chapter for Bitfarms, and we’re thrilled to welcome the talented Stronghold team to write that chapter with us,” said Ben Gagnon, CEO of Bitfarms.

Bitfarms首席执行官Ben Gagnon说：“这项战略收购的完成进一步扩大了我们的足迹，使我们成为PJM市场的行业领导者……这标志着Bitfarms激动人心的新章节的开始，我们很高兴欢迎有才华的据点与我们一起写这篇章节。”

Earlier this year, Riot Platforms, the second-biggest Bitcoin miner, tried to take over Bitfarms but failed, so it chose to keep a 20% share.

今年早些时候，第二大比特比特币矿工Riot Platforms试图接管Bitfarms，但失败了，因此选择保持20％的份额。
