比特幣礦工IREN簽9.7億美元合約轉型AI服務

比特幣礦工IREN簽訂97億美元微軟合約,推動行業轉向GPU

比特幣礦業公司IREN(IREN)與微軟簽訂了一項多年期的GPU雲服務合約,突顯了傳統礦業基礎設施與大型科技公司對AI計算能力需求之間日益增長的整合。這項為期五年的協議,價值達97億美元,將為微軟提供IREN數據中心內的Nvidia GB300 GPU。

在此相關舉措中,IREN還宣布與戴爾科技簽訂了一項價值58億美元的協議,以購買GPU及相關設備。該公司計劃通過現金儲備、客戶預付款、經營現金流及額外融資來資助其資本支出。

IREN表示,這項協議鞏固了其作為AI雲服務主要供應商的地位,並在2024年初轉型進入該領域。除了AI,該公司仍然是按實現哈希率計算的最大比特幣礦工之一。

在周一市場開盤後,IREN的股價大幅上漲,反映出投資者對微軟公告的熱情。

比特幣礦工因利潤壓力而轉向AI

IREN是越來越多的比特幣礦工之一,積極轉向AI GPU和數據基礎設施,以尋求在競爭日益激烈和資本密集的礦業環境中多樣化收入來源。HIVE Digital是最早開始轉型的公司之一,從2023年中期開始其策略轉變,現在從AI和高性能計算服務中獲得可觀的收入。

MARA Holdings在2024年推出了一種浸入式冷卻系統,旨在支持密集計算工作負載,如AI。今年早些時候,Riot Platforms也開始為潛在的AI和高性能計算擴展奠定基礎。

在該行業迄今為止最大的一筆交易中,TeraWulf於8月宣布與由谷歌母公司Alphabet支持的AI雲平台Fluidstack簽訂了一項價值37億美元的托管協議。該協議包括一項10年的共置租約,並可延長五年。

這一系列的轉型和合作顯示出比特幣礦業不再僅僅依賴於加密貨幣的波動,而是開始尋求更穩定的收入來源。隨著AI技術的蓬勃發展,這些礦工的轉型不僅是應對市場壓力的策略,更是未來發展的必然選擇。

在這個背景下,IREN的成功案例或許能成為其他比特幣礦工的借鑒,顯示出在不斷變化的市場中,靈活應對和創新是生存的關鍵。隨著AI需求的不斷上升,未來礦工們可能會在這個領域中找到更多的機會,進一步推動整個行業的發展。

Transform the original photo into a dramatic, photorealistic, ultra wide-angle shot with an extreme camera angle (including views from directly below or above), where one or more body parts are right next to the lens and look huge, the rest of the body recedes in perspective, and the same person strikes a stylish, complex, powerful pose in a consistent, expanded version of the original environment. The woman in the photo is wearing yellow stilettos and a black and silver metallic ball gown and stylish black sunglasses. A beautiful young woman in her early twenties from Hong Kong has flawless, fair skin with a subtle glow. She possesses large, clear eyes with soft eyeliner and long, delicate eyelashes. Her nose is straight, and her face is exquisitely heart-shaped. Her lips are naturally pink. She has long, layered, dark brown hair parted in the middle. She wears a loose-fitting light gray and beige striped knit sweater with a waffle pattern and slightly oversized ribbed cuffs. One shoulder of the sweater slips slightly. She pairs this with a burgundy high-waisted quilted mini skirt with a diamond pattern and ruffles at the hem, revealing her long, smooth legs. She strikes a playful pose, her eyes innocent yet subtly alluring. She stands in front of a pristine white studio backdrop, the soft, even lighting creating a natural atmosphere without harsh shadows. This is a high-key portrait; the minimalist background highlights her delicate skin texture, and her sharp, clear eyes, presenting a realistic sense of style.
