“From the start, we’ve backed our conviction in Bitcoin – personally and through our businesses. But simply buying Bitcoin is only half the story. Mining it on favorable economics opens an even bigger opportunity.”

“从一开始，我们就个人和通过我们的业务都支持了对比特币的信念。但是，仅仅购买比特币只是故事的一半。在有利的经济学上挖掘它可以打开更大的机会。”

This venture marks a continuation of the Trump family’s involvement in the crypto sector, which also includes projects like World Liberty Financial and a potential stablecoin.

这项冒险标志着特朗普家族参与加密货币部门的延续，该领域还包括世界自由财务和潜在的Stablecoin等项目。

Despite concerns regarding Bitcoin mining’s environmental footprint, Eric Trump, who will serve as the company’s chief strategy officer, highlights that lower energy costs in the U.S. will grant American miners a competitive advantage on a global scale.

HUT 8的首席执行官Asher Genoot补充说，美国比特币将从低能成本和可扩展基础设施中的竞争优势中受益。

In exchange for the 80% stake in American Bitcoin, Hut 8 will contribute 61,000 mining machines and house the operations at 11 U.S. data centers.

响应公告，小屋8的股价上涨了6.4％。但是，与今年年初相比，其股票仍低42.8％。

Genoot further explained the rationale behind the partnership:

Genoot进一步解释了合作伙伴关系背后的理由：

“By carving out our mining business into a standalone entity, which will raise its own capital, we align each segment of the business with its respective cost of capital. The transaction creates two focused yet complementary businesses, each purpose-built for its respective mandate. It evolves Hut 8 toward more predictable, financeable, lower-cost-of-capital segments and establishes American Bitcoin as a pure-play mining platform built for exahash growth, Bitcoin production, and operating leverage.”

“通过将我们的采矿业务划分为独立的实体，这将筹集自己的资本，我们将业务的每个部分与各自的资本成本保持一致。该交易创建了两个集中但互补的业务，每个专门为其各自的授权而设计。比特币生产和运营杠杆作用。”
