Tether扩展了比特币采矿占地面积，并在Bitder上进行了3200万美元的额外投资

根据SEC文件，本月，Stablecoin Giant Tether在本月的Bitcoin Mining Company Bitdeer中额外购买了价值3200万美元的股票。

Stablecoin giant Tether has acquired an additional $32 million worth of shares in Bitcoin (BTC) mining company Bitdeer this month, according to a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

根据美国证券交易委员会（SEC）（SEC）的一份文件，Stablecoin巨头Tether本月已收购了价值3200万美元的比特币（BTC）矿业公司Bitdeer股票。

This latest investment builds on Tether’s growing stake in Bitdeer. Last month, filings showed that Tether had increased its ownership to 21.4% of Bitdeer’s outstanding shares through its subsidiaries Tether International and Tether Investments.

这项最新的投资是基于Tether在Bitdeer的日益增长的股份建立的。上个月，文件显示，Tether通过其子公司Tether International和Tether Investments将其所有权提高到Bitdeer流通股的21.4％。

The timing of Tether’s purchase coincides with a downturn in the Bitcoin mining sector. Nasdaq-listed Bitdeer (BTDR) has seen its share price drop to $7.62, representing a nearly 67% decrease year-to-date.

Tether购买的时机与比特币采矿部门的低迷相吻合。纳斯达克上市的比特尔（BTDR）已将其股价下跌至7.62美元，降低了近67％。

For context, Bitdeer is one of the largest Bitcoin miners, and its stock decline is a significant development. In comparison, MARA Holdings (NYSE:MARA), the largest miner by market capitalization, has experienced a 26% decline in share price this year. Riot Platforms (NASDAQ:RIOT) shares have fallen over 38% during the same period.

在上下文中，比特尔是最大的比特币矿工之一，其股票下跌是一个重大发展。相比之下，按市值计算的最大矿工Mara Holdings（NYSE：MARA）今年的股价下跌了26％。在同一时期，Riot Platforms（NASDAQ：RIOT）的股票下跌了38％以上。

According to investment bank JP Morgan, March was the worst month on record for 14 top public Bitcoin mining companies. These firms collectively lost 25% of their market value, equivalent to about $6 billion.

根据投资银行JP Morgan的说法，三月是14家顶级公共比特币矿业公司记录下最糟糕的月份。这些公司共同损失了其市场价值的25％，相当于约60亿美元。

The struggles facing miners stem from multiple factors. Bitcoin’s price has failed to maintain momentum after reaching an all-time high near $109,000 in January. The cryptocurrency was recently trading at around $85,000, up 7% over the past week but still well below its peak.

面对矿工的斗争源于多种因素。一月份达到历史最近的109,000美元，比特币的价格无法保持动力。加密货币最近的交易价格约为85,000美元，在过去一周中增长了7％，但仍低于其峰值。

Moreover, rising mining difficulty has placed pressure on operations. This increase makes it harder for miners to recover their costs, forcing many to look for additional funding sources.

此外，采矿难度越来越大，给运营带来了压力。这种增加使矿工更难收回成本，迫使许多人寻找额外的资金来源。

Data from CryptoQuant showed that miners were selling their Bitcoin holdings at an increased rate. On April 7, miners sold a total of 15,000 BTC—the third-largest daily outflow this year—worth approximately $1.12 billion.

来自CryptoQuant的数据表明，矿工正在以更高的速度出售其比特币持有量。 4月7日，矿工总共出售了15,000 BTC（今年的第三大每日流出），约为11.2亿美元。

Tether’s investment strategy indicates a broader interest in the Bitcoin mining space beyond its core stablecoin business. On Monday, the company announced it would support Bitcoin mining pool Ocean by providing hash rate to help mine blocks and collect BTC rewards.

Tether的投资策略表明，超出其核心Stablecoin业务的比特币采矿空间具有更大的兴趣。周一，该公司宣布将通过提供哈希速率来帮助矿场并收集BTC奖励，以支持比特币采矿池海洋。

The company is best known for USDT, the largest stablecoin and third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. USDT is designed to maintain a stable value backed by dollars, treasuries, and other investments.

该公司以市值为最大的Stablecoin和第三大加密货币而闻名。 USDT旨在保持稳定的价值，并以美元，国库和其他投资为支持。

Tether has faced regulatory scrutiny in the past. In February 2021, Tether agreed to stop doing business in New York following a two-year state attorney general investigation that found the company had “made false statements about the backing” of its stablecoin.

系绳过去曾面临监管审查。 2021年2月，Tether同意在一项为期两年的州检察长调查后，他同意停止在纽约开展业务，该调查发现该公司对其稳定的股份“对支持”进行了“虚假陈述”。

Since then, Tether has been focusing on transparency and released several reports on its activities. The company also stated it is working with a Big Four accounting firm to obtain an independent audit.

从那时起，系绳一直专注于透明度，并发布了有关其活动的几份报告。该公司还表示，它正在与一家四大会计师事务所合作以获得独立审核。

Bitdeer, founded by Jihan Wu, is pursuing a strategy of vertical integration in the Bitcoin sector. The company aims to control all aspects of its operations, including producing mining chips and managing its own power sources.

由Jihan Wu创立的Bitdeer正在追求比特币部门垂直整合的策略。该公司旨在控制其运营的各个方面，包括生产采矿芯片和管理自己的电源。

Recent test results for Bitdeer’s SEALMINER A3 chip showed performance below 10 J/TH in laboratory conditions. This development aligns with Bitdeer’s focus on enhancing mining efficiency and optimizing energy usage.

Bitdeer Sealminer A3芯片的最新测试结果显示，在实验室条件下，性能低于10 j/th。这一发展与Bitdeer专注于提高采矿效率和优化能源使用的关注一致。

Earlier this year, Bitdeer announced that Tether had purchased $100 million in shares through private placement financing, with an option to buy another $50 million later.

今年早些时候，Bitdeer宣布，Tether通过私人安置融资购买了1亿美元的股票，可以选择再购买5000万美元。

Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, expressed interest in working closely with Bitdeer on “critical infrastructure projects.” Tether has also entered El Salvador’s Volcano Energy mining project, showcasing its deeper involvement in the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Tether首席执行官Paolo Ardoino表示有兴趣与Bitdeer在“关键基础设施项目”上密切合作。 Tether还进入了El Salvador的火山能源开采项目，展示了其对比特币生态系统的更深层次。

Linghui Kong, Chief Business Officer at Bitdeer, highlighted that Tether’s support would contribute to accelerating Bitdeer’s growth and leadership position in sustainable and efficient Bitcoin mining.

Bitdeer首席业务官Linghui Kong强调，Tether的支持将有助于加速Bitdeer在可持续和高效的比特币采矿中的增长和领导地位。

This partnership also reflects the expanding scope of cryptocurrency firms as they venture beyond their core focus to explore opportunities in technology and energy sectors, potentially seeking to diversify revenue streams during market downturns.

该合作伙伴关系还反映了加密货币公司不断扩大的范围，因为他们冒险超越了他们的核心重点来探索技术和能源领域的机会，并有可能寻求在市场低迷期间多样化的收入来源。
