最大的加密貨幣挖礦公司之一受到了近期市場低迷的影響。
Core Scientific公司于7月5日在每月最新消息中稱,該公司在今年6月出售了大部分比特幣(Bitcoin)資產。該公司出售了7202枚比特幣,套現1.67億美元,目前的資產負債表上持有1959枚比特幣和1.32億美元現金。
根據Core Scientific,該公司的比特幣套現收入用于支付ASIC服務器費用,這些服務器通常用于加密貨幣挖礦;數據中心容量投資;并計劃償還債務。
該公司表示,將繼續出售挖礦得到的比特幣,以支付運營費用并維持流動性等。
這一聲明是主要加密貨幣參與者正在采取極端行動,試圖在陷入困境的市場中生存下來的最新跡象。2022年第二季度對整個行業來說都是艱難的,尤其是6月帶來的破壞性影響。強制拋售和清算在整個行業引起了轟動,隨著比特幣的價格暴跌,挖礦公司也受到了打擊。
Core Scientific的首席執行官邁克·萊維特在最新消息中說:“隨著資本市場疲軟,利率上升,經濟面臨歷史性通脹,我們行業正在承受巨大壓力。”
Core Scientific沒有立即回應《財富》雜志的置評請求。
像Core Scientific這樣的挖礦公司在維護比特幣網絡安全方面至關重要。挖礦公司通過使用昂貴的設備和大量的計算機算力來驗證比特幣交易,以嘗試解決復雜的難題,從而得到比特幣。
Core Scientific此前自稱“比特幣之王”,是比特幣挖礦巨頭。該公司維護著超過18萬臺ASIC服務器,今年3月該公司表示,它運營著超過10%的比特幣網絡。
盡管已經套現了7000多枚比特幣,但該公司仍然看好加密貨幣,并計劃發展其比特幣數據中心,繼續挖礦。(財富中文網)

One of the largest cryptocurrency mining companies is feeling the heat of the latest market downturn.
Core Scientific sold most of its Bitcoin holdings in June, the company said on July 5?in a monthly update. It traded 7,202 Bitcoins for about $167 million, and now holds 1,959 Bitcoins and $132 million in cash on its balance sheet.
Proceeds from its Bitcoin sales were used for payments for ASIC servers, which are typically used to mine cryptocurrency; investments in data center capacity; and scheduled repayment of debt, according to Core Scientific.
The company says it will continue to sell its mined Bitcoins to pay operating expenses and maintain liquidity, among other things.
The announcement is just the latest sign that major crypto players are taking drastic actions to try to survive a struggling market. The second quarter of 2022 was rough?for the entire sector, with June being particularly damaging. Forced selling and liquidations caused a stir across the industry, and as the price of Bitcoin plunged, it also took a toll on miners.
“Our industry is enduring tremendous stress as capital markets have weakened, interest rates are rising, and the economy deals with historic inflation,” said Mike Levitt, Core Scientific CEO, in the update.
Core Scientific did not immediately respond to Fortune’s request for comment.
Miners like Core Scientific are crucial in keeping the Bitcoin network secure. Miners validate Bitcoin transactions by using expensive equipment and a lot of computer power to try to solve complex puzzles, resulting in coins.
Previously calling itself the “King of Bitcoin,” Core Scientific is a juggernaut for Bitcoin mining. It operates over 180,000 ASIC servers, and in March the company said it ran?over 10% of Bitcoin’s network.
Although it has cashed out more than 7,000 Bitcoins, the company is still bullish on the cryptocurrency and plans to grow its Bitcoin data centers and continue to self-mine.
