比特幣挖礦業如何透過110億可轉換債券轉型AI




比特幣挖礦行業以110億美元可轉換債券資助人工智能熱潮

比特幣挖礦行業正在利用可轉換債務資助其向人工智能數據中心的昂貴轉型,這些債務有時甚至提供0%的息票。

在過去一年中,挖礦者已籌集了110億美元的可轉換債務——這是一種可以轉換為股票的公司債務。根據《TheMinerMag》的報導,在2024年4月比特幣減半後,挖礦者完成了18筆可轉換債券交易,該減半將區塊獎勵減少了50%。

可轉換債券的平均發行額超過了前一年的兩倍,挖礦公司如MARA、Cipher Mining、IREN和TeraWulf各自通過單一債券發行籌集了10億美元。其中一些發行的息票低至0%,顯示出投資者願意放棄利息支付,以換取潛在的股權上漲。

挖礦行業對人工智能數據中心的轉型

與去年相比,大多數比特幣挖礦者發行的可轉換債券金額在2億到4億美元之間。挖礦行業轉型為人工智能數據中心,以應對2024年4月減半後的收入短缺。挖礦者仍然面臨著困難的商業模式,受到代幣經濟、貿易政策、供應鏈問題和能源成本上升的影響。

根據投資管理公司VanEck的一份最新報告,挖礦者的債務在過去一年中激增了500%,總計達到127億美元。然而,VanEck的分析師Nathan Frankovitz和Matthew Sigel指出,這些債務水平反映了挖礦行業的根本問題——對挖礦硬件的重資本支出,這在某些情況下必須每年升級。

他們表示:“歷史上,挖礦者依賴股權市場,而非債務來資助這些高額的資本支出成本。”並稱重型硬件成本使其保持競爭力的狀況如同“融化的冰塊”。

挖礦者面對算力戰和能源密集型的人工智能運作

比特幣挖礦的算力,即保護比特幣網絡的計算能力,仍在不斷上升,迫使挖礦者隨著時間推移投入更多的計算和能源資源。10月,美國能源部長Chris Wright提出了一項對聯邦能源監管委員會(FERC)的監管變更,允許數據中心和挖礦者直接連接到能源網絡。

這將使這些能源密集型的應用能夠滿足其能源需求,同時作為可控負載資源,平衡和穩定電力基礎設施,在需求高峰時期提供支持,並在需求低迷時削減多餘的能源。

這篇報導揭示了比特幣挖礦行業在面對不斷變化的市場環境中所採取的應對策略。隨著人工智能的興起,挖礦者不僅要面對傳統的挖礦挑戰,還需適應新技術帶來的競爭壓力。這不僅是對資金運用的考驗,更是對整個行業未來發展的深刻反思。挖礦者的債務激增和對新技術的依賴,可能會使行業的可持續性面臨更大的挑戰。如何在資本支出和技術創新之間找到平衡,將成為未來挖礦行業能否生存的關鍵。

A low-angle, wide-lens street shot in a bustling cityscape (similar to Shibuya, Tokyo). A young woman crouches confidently beside a modified, glossy purple sports car with a Japanese license plate. She wears a black graphic tee, cargo pants, white sneakers, and silver jewelry. The background features tall glass skyscrapers, colorful billboards, neon signage, and warm late-afternoon lighting. Strong perspective distortion emphasizes the height of the buildings and the car’s aggressive stance. The mood is stylish, bold, and modern, capturing urban automotive culture with a cinematic, hyper-real aesthetic. High detail, high contrast, crisp reflections, editorial fashion vibe, dynamic street energy. Use the original face exactly as it is, without changing a details. A hyper-realistic, highly detailed portrait of a beautiful woman in a 1950s/Pin-Up style, evoking the essence of a classic Hollywood starlet on a glamorous vacation.
• Subject: A stunning young woman with a classic Pin-Up aesthetic (think 1950s movie star).
• Facial Features: Striking blue/green eyes, perfectly arched eyebrows, and classic makeup featuring bright red lipstick. Her expression is captivating and seductive.
• Hair & Hat: Long, voluminous, deep brown hair styled in soft, glamorous waves/curls. She is wearing a very large, wide-brimmed straw hat that casts a soft shadow on her face.
• Attire: A chic, form-fitting black dress with white polka dots. The dress has an off-the-shoulder, sweetheart neckline bodice that cinches at the waist with a thin black belt. She is also wearing a black scarf with white polka dots tied around her neck like an ascot.
• Setting & Context: The background suggests a sunny, coastal location with a deep blue ocean/sea visible behind her. She is leaning seductively against the tan/brown, polished hood or door of a classic vintage convertible car.
• Style/Vibe: Vintage glamour, 1950s Hollywood, high-fashion editorial. Certainly! Here is your enhanced, artistic, and detailed prompt for an AI image generator:

A captivating portrait of a young Asian woman, inspired by Imada Mio and embodying an exquisitely delicate, doll-like (精緻洋娃娃臉) aesthetic. She has large, round, expressive eyes that radiate innocence and curiosity, subtly accented with a moist shimmer. Her petite V-line face is framed by soft, rosy cheeks, and her lips are naturally pink and slightly parted, exuding an energetic, slightly flirty, yet pure aura. Her expression is a candid blend of sweetness and playful allure.

Her long, dark brown hair is artfully tousled with a messy morning (剛睡醒的凌亂感) effect—loose strands fall gently around her face, conveying natural volume and effortless beauty. The hair has a silky texture, catching the light in places, suggesting a recent awakening.

She is dressed in an oversized, translucent white button-down shirt (男友風白襯衫) with the top buttons casually undone, delicately revealing her collarbones and a slender neckline. The shirt drapes loosely, giving a tasteful "bottomless" look (下衣失蹤風格), her bare legs just barely visible beneath the shirt's hem, enhancing the innocent-meets-sensual ambiance.

The composition is styled in the manner of a Japanese Gravure Photobook (寫真集風格), exuding a pure & sexy vibe with an airy, dreamy atmosphere. Employ bright, high-key lighting for a clean, luminous effect that highlights her velvety soft skin texture. Use Fujifilm PRO 400H film tones for subtle pastel hues, gentle contrast, and a seamless blend of natural colors, further enriching the soft, ethereal, and intimate photographic quality.

The background is minimalist and softly blurred, ensuring complete focus on the subject, and enhancing the overall sense of warmth, comfort, and inviting allure typical of high-end Japanese photobooks.
