比特幣礦業如何用110億債券轉型AI數據中心




比特幣挖礦行業以110億美元可轉換債券資助AI黃金熱潮

比特幣挖礦行業正透過可轉換債務來資助其向人工智能數據中心的昂貴轉型,這些債務有時的票息甚至為0%。

在過去一年中,挖礦者已經籌集了110億美元的可轉換債務,這是一種可以轉換為股票的企業債務。根據《TheMinerMag》的報導,挖礦者在2024年4月比特幣減半後完成了18筆可轉換債券交易,這次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一倍,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。有些債券的票息低至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。

相較之下,前一年比特幣挖礦者發行的大多數可轉換債券金額在2億至4億美元之間。

挖礦行業為了應對2024年4月減半後的收入短缺,開始多元化進入人工智能數據中心。挖礦者仍然面臨著困難的商業模式,受到代幣經濟學、貿易政策、供應鏈問題以及不斷上升的能源成本的影響。

挖礦者為哈希率戰爭和能源密集型AI運營做好準備

根據投資管理公司VanEck的最新報告,挖礦者的債務在過去一年中激增了500%,總額達到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,這在某些情況下每年都必須升級。

他們表示:“歷史上,挖礦者依賴股權市場,而不是債務,來資助這些高昂的資本支出成本。”並將保持競爭所需的高昂硬件成本形容為“融化的冰塊”。

比特幣的網絡哈希率持續上升,這是保護比特幣網絡的計算能力總量,迫使挖礦者隨著時間的推移投入越來越多的計算和能源資源。

在十月,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應用能夠滿足其能源需求,同時作為可控負載資源來平衡和穩定電力基礎設施,特別是在需求高峰期和低需求期間減少多餘的能源。

這一系列的變化和挑戰讓人不禁思考,挖礦行業是否能夠持續在這樣的高壓環境下生存。隨著市場的變化和技術的進步,挖礦者需要不斷調整策略,才能在這個競爭激烈的環境中找到立足之地。未來,如何有效管理資源和降低成本將成為挖礦者成功的關鍵。

Create a hyper-realistic 8K close-up body portrait of a female model, using the uploaded photo as the exact facial reference. Maintain 100% accuracy of the facial features — do not alter or modify any aspect of the face. Render the skin texture, lighting, and overall composition with photo-realistic detail, ensuring lifelike color tones and natural depth of field. A man with his original hair is sitting casually on a white cube, smiling warmly at the camera. He is wearing a cream-colored cable-knit sweater, blue jeans, and brown loafers. His legs are crossed, with one hand resting on his knee.
The background reveals a cozy and festive living room. A large, beautifully decorated Christmas tree with numerous warm lights and gold ornaments stands prominently behind him. Several wrapped gift boxes are visible at the base of the tree. To his left, another smaller decorated Christmas tree and a wreath on the wall further enhance the holiday atmosphere. The lighting is soft and inviting, creating a warm and welcoming scene. Use the original face exactly as it is, without changing a details. A striking, high-fashion editorial portrait of a white -skinned model, captured outdoors with a bright, sunny, slightly hazy ambiance reminiscent of the late 1980s or early 1990s.
Model and Styling
• Model: A female model with elegant features and dark, curly hair, posed looking over her shoulder towards the camera. Her expression is confident and alluring.
• Outfit: She is wearing a two-piece outfit (or a playsuit/romper) entirely covered in black and white polka dots.
• Top: A loose, long-sleeved shirt, worn off one shoulder, showcasing the neckline. The polka dots on the shirt appear slightly smaller and more uniform.
• Bottom: Matching shorts or a skirt with a tight, fitted silhouette, emphasizing her figure. The polka dots here appear slightly denser.
• Hat: A defining accessory—a dramatically oversized sun hat with a wide, floppy brim. The crown is white, and the large, voluminous brim is patterned with large black and white polka dots, cascading down. A black fabric tie/ribbon is visible around the crown.
• Accessories: Large, circular or crescent-shaped gold earrings dangle from her ears.
Lighting and Setting
• Lighting: Natural, bright, direct sunlight creating a warm, sun-kissed, and slightly nostalgic aesthetic. The overall color palette leans towards desaturated pastels and warm creamy whites.
• Setting: She is positioned on a rooftop, terrace, or balcony, with a hazy, mountainous or coastal landscape visible in the blurred background. The background is predominantly soft blues and pale purples, suggesting a distant view over a city or ocean.
• Composition: A vertical, full-body to three-quarter shot. The model is the central focus, framed against the soft background.
Keywords/Style
• Style: High Fashion, Editorial, Retro, 90s Fashion, Resort Wear, Glamorous, Iconic.
