Marathon Digital 瞄准 Exahash 里程碑，制定雄心勃勃的算力目标

比特币挖矿公司 Marathon Digital 已将 2024 年算力目标修改为每秒 50 exahashes (EH/s)，较之前的 35-37 EH/s 目标大幅提高。此次调整是在最近扩大马拉松产能的收购之后进行的，该公司预计将获得充足的资金来实现其新目标。

Marathon Digital 宣布雄心勃勃的算力目标为每秒 50 Exahash

Marathon Digital Holdings, a leading Bitcoin (BTC) mining company, has unveiled an ambitious goal to increase its hash rate target for 2024 to 50 exahashes per second (EH/s), a significant increase from its previous target of 35-37 EH/s. This announcement follows a series of recent acquisitions that have expanded Marathon's mining capacity.

领先的比特币 (BTC) 挖矿公司 Marathon Digital Holdings 公布了一项雄心勃勃的目标，即将 2024 年算力目标提高到每秒 50 EH/s，较之前 35-37 EH/s 的目标大幅提高s。在此公告之前，Marathon 最近进行了一系列扩大采矿能力的收购。

"Considering our expanded capacity and current hash rate capabilities, we believe it is feasible to double the scale of Marathon's mining operations in 2024," said Fred Thiel, CEO of Marathon.

Marathon 首席执行官 Fred Thiel 表示：“考虑到我们扩大的产能和当前的算力能力，我们相信在 2024 年将 Marathon 挖矿业务规模扩大一倍是可行的。”

Marathon's growth strategy has been fueled by several strategic acquisitions over the past year. In March, the company purchased a 200-megawatt Bitcoin mining center from Digital Applied for $87.3 million. This was followed by the acquisition of two additional mining sites from Generate Capital for $179 million in December, bringing the company's total capacity to 390 megawatts.

过去一年中的几项战略收购推动了马拉松的增长战略。 3月份，该公司以8730万美元的价格从Digital Applied购买了一座200兆瓦的比特币挖矿中心。随后，12 月以 1.79 亿美元的价格从Generate Capital 收购了另外两个矿场，使该公司的总产能达到 390 兆瓦。

Marathon's current hash rate stands at 24.7 EH/s, ranking it as the third-largest Bitcoin miner globally behind Core Scientific and Riot Platforms. Should Marathon achieve its target of 50 EH/s, it would represent a remarkable 100% increase in its hash rate since the beginning of 2024.

Marathon 目前的算力为 24.7 EH/s，是全球第三大比特币矿商，仅次于 Core Scientific 和 Riot Platforms。如果 Marathon 实现 50 EH/s 的目标，则意味着自 2024 年初以来其算力将显着增加 100%。

Thiel emphasized that Marathon's expansion plans are "fully funded" and do not necessitate additional capital fundraising.

蒂尔强调，马拉松的扩张计划“资金充足”，不需要额外筹集资金。

The announcement of Marathon's increased hash rate target has been met with positive market sentiment. The company's stock (MARA) gained 4.5% in after-hours trading following the news, despite a slight dip of 0.42% to $19.01 earlier in the day.

马拉松宣布提高哈希率目标得到了积极的市场情绪。消息传出后，该公司股价 (MARA) 在盘后交易中上涨 4.5%，尽管当天早些时候小幅下跌 0.42% 至 19.01 美元。

Marathon's surge in stock value coincides with a broader uptrend in the cryptocurrency mining industry following the fourth Bitcoin halving event that occurred on April 20. During the halving, the block subsidy given to miners was reduced by 50% from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC.

Marathon 股价飙升，恰逢 4 月 20 日第四次比特币减半事件后，加密货币挖矿行业出现更广泛的上涨趋势。减半期间，给予矿工的区块补贴从 6.25 BTC 减少到 3.125 BTC，减少了 50%。

While the halving event decreased the amount of Bitcoin rewards miners receive, it has also contributed to an increase in transaction fees, providing an additional revenue stream for miners. On the day of the halving, the average transaction fee reached a record-breaking $128, benefiting miners significantly.

虽然减半事件减少了矿工获得的比特币奖励数量，但也导致了交易费用的增加，为矿工提供了额外的收入来源。减半当天，平均交易费用达到破纪录的128美元，矿工受益匪浅。

Recent data from YCharts indicates that transaction fees have since declined to $28.20. However, the optimistic outlook for the Bitcoin mining industry remains, as the halving event historically has led to increased demand and price appreciation for Bitcoin.

YCharts 的最新数据表明，交易费用此后已降至 28.20 美元。然而，比特币挖矿业的乐观前景仍然存在，因为历史上减半事件导致了比特币需求的增加和价格的上涨。

As Marathon Digital ramps up its mining operations, it will further contribute to the decentralization and security of the Bitcoin network. The company's ambitious hash rate target demonstrates its commitment to the long-term growth of Bitcoin mining and the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.

随着 Marathon Digital 加大挖矿业务力度，它将进一步为比特币网络的去中心化和安全做出贡献。该公司雄心勃勃的哈希率目标表明了其对比特币挖矿和更广泛的加密货币生态系统长期增长的承诺。
