Publicly Traded Bitcoin Miners Announce August Production Levels

公开交易的比特币矿商公布 8 月份的生产水平

Argo Blockchain (NASDAQ: ARBK) mined 38 Bitcoin in August, down from 48 in July, due to more frequent economic curtailments and a lower hash price. HIVE Digital Technologies (NASDAQ: HIVE) mined 112 Bitcoin, which is 4 less than the 116 Bitcoins reported the previous month.

由于更频繁的经济缩减和较低的哈希价格，Argo Blockchain（纳斯达克股票代码：ARBK）在 8 月份开采了 38 个比特币，低于 7 月份的 48 个。 HIVE Digital Technologies（纳斯达克股票代码：HIVE）开采了 112 个比特币，比上个月报告的 116 个比特币减少了 4 个。

“We remain focused on our strategy of maintaining the lowest G&A expenses per Bitcoin mined, maximizing cash flow return on invested capital, and achieving high revenue per employee while minimizing share dilution,” commented Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman of HIVE.

HIVE 执行主席弗兰克·霍姆斯 (Frank Holmes) 评论道：“我们仍然专注于我们的战略，即保持每枚比特币开采的最低管理费用、最大化投资资本的现金流回报、实现每名员工的高收入，同时最大限度地减少股权稀释。”

Meanwhile, TeraWulf (NASDAQ: WULF) produced 184 Bitcoin at an average rate of 5.9 per day, a decrease from the 155 reported in July. The company also noted an increase in the energy costs for self-mined BTC to $36,346.

与此同时，TeraWulf（纳斯达克股票代码：WULF）以平均每天 5.9 枚的速度生产 184 枚比特币，比 7 月份报告的 155 枚有所下降。该公司还指出，自开采 BTC 的能源成本增加至 36,346 美元。

Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ: MARA), one of the largest publicly-traded Bitcoin miners, saw a 3% decrease in production, mining 673 Bitcoin in August compared to 692 in July. The company's CEO, Fred Thiel, noted, "Block wins during the month declined 2% from July while BTC production decreased 3% to 673 BTC."

最大的公开交易比特币矿商之一 Marathon Digital Holdings（纳斯达克股票代码：MARA）的产量下降了 3%，8 月份开采了 673 个比特币，而 7 月份为 692 个。该公司首席执行官 Fred Thiel 指出，“本月区块获胜量较 7 月下降 2%，而 BTC 产量下降 3%，至 673 BTC。”

Industry experts attribute the production declines to several factors, including increased network difficulty and higher power costs during the summer months. The global Bitcoin mining difficulty reached an all-time high in August, making it more challenging for miners to earn rewards.

行业专家将产量下降归因于多种因素，包括夏季网络难度增加和电力成本上涨。 8月份全球比特币挖矿难度创历史新高，矿工获得奖励难度加大。

This corresponds with data released earlier in the week by other publicly listed miners. CleanSpark (NASDAQ: CLSK), which bills itself as "America's Bitcoin Miner," saw its Bitcoin production drop 3.2% from 494 in July to 478 in August. Similarly, Bitfarms (NASDAQ: BITF) experienced a more significant 7.9% decline, mining 233 Bitcoin in August compared to 253 in July.

这与本周早些时候其他公开上市矿商发布的数据相符。自称为“美国比特币矿工”的 CleanSpark（纳斯达克股票代码：CLSK）的比特币产量从 7 月的 494 枚下降到 8 月的 478 枚，下降了 3.2%。同样，Bitfarms（纳斯达克股票代码：BITF）的跌幅更为显着，为 7.9%，8 月份开采了 233 个比特币，而 7 月份为 253 个。

Less Bitcoin, Less Dollars

更少的比特币，更少的美元

The cryptocurrency mining sector faced a significant downturn in August 2024, marking its least profitable month in recent years. Miners' earnings plummeted to $828 million, the lowest since September 2023 and a stark 57% decline from the peak earnings of nearly $2 billion recorded in March 2024.

2024 年 8 月，加密货币挖矿行业面临严重低迷，这是近年来利润最低的一个月。矿工收入暴跌至 8.28 亿美元，为 2023 年 9 月以来的最低水平，较 2024 年 3 月录得的近 20 亿美元的峰值收入大幅下降 57%。

Several factors contributed to this challenging environment. The mining difficulty reached an unprecedented 89.47 trillion in August, up from 86.87 trillion in July. Simultaneously, the number of mined Bitcoins decreased from 14,725 in July to 13,843 in August. This combination of increased difficulty and reduced output has created a perfect storm for miners, squeezing profit margins and necessitating adaptive measures.

有几个因素导致了这种充满挑战的环境。 8 月份挖矿难度达到史无前例的 89.47 万亿，高于 7 月份的 86.87 万亿。与此同时，开采的比特币数量从 7 月份的 14,725 个减少到 8 月份的 13,843 个。难度增加和产量减少的结合给矿工带来了一场完美风暴，挤压了利润率并需要采取适应性措施。

In response to these adverse trends, publicly listed Bitcoin mining companies are exploring alternative revenue streams. Many are turning their attention to high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) as potential growth areas. Investment management firm VanEck predicts that this strategic pivot could potentially unlock $38 billion in value for mining companies by 2027.

为了应对这些不利趋势，公开上市的比特币矿业公司正在探索替代收入来源。许多人将注意力转向高性能计算（HPC）和人工智能（AI）作为潜在的增长领域。投资管理公司 VanEck 预测，到 2027 年，这一战略支点可能为矿业公司创造 380 亿美元的价值。
