Bitcoin Mining Stocks Are Rising Monday: What's Going On?
Shares of several Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) mining stocks including Marathon Digital Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: MARA), Riot Platforms Inc (NASDAQ: RIOT) and CleanSpark Inc (NASDAQ: CLSK) are trading higher Monday amid strength in the price of Bitcoin on the heels of the latest halving event.
由于最近的减半事件之后比特币价格走强，包括马拉松数字控股公司（纳斯达克股票代码：MARA）、Riot Platforms Inc（纳斯达克股票代码：RIOT）和CleanSpark Inc（纳斯达克股票代码：CLSK）在内的几只比特币（加密货币：BTC）矿业股的股价周一上涨。
What Happened: The halving is a programmed process in the bitcoin protocol that occurs every 210,000 blocks, or approximately every four years. On Friday, the bitcoin network completed its fourth halving event, marking a significant reduction in the amount of rewards miners receive for successfully mining transactions. Miner rewards were reduced from 6.25 bitcoin to 3.125 bitcoin.
发生了什么：减半是比特币协议中的一个编程过程，每21万个区块发生一次，大约每四年发生一次。周五，比特币网络完成了第四次减半活动，这标志着矿工因成功进行采矿交易而获得的奖励金额大幅减少。矿工奖励从6.25比特币减少到3.125比特币。
Bitcoin has been volatile leading up to the halving. It's worth noting that crypto markets have historically rallied in the months following a halving event.
在减半之前，比特币一直波动不定。值得注意的是，在减半事件之后的几个月中，加密市场历来一直在上涨。
JPMorgan analyst Reginald Smith believes the halving is going to be a big test for mining companies, but sees it as a positive for the strongest operators long term, according to a recent report from CNBC.
根据CNBC最近的一份报告，摩根大通分析师雷金纳德·史密斯认为，减半将是对矿业公司的重大考验，但从长远来看，这对实力最强的运营商来说是一个积极的考验。
"All else equal, the halving will cut industry revenues in half, triggering a wave of consolidation and business closures, while (hopefully) rationalizing the network hashrate and industry capex, which is ultimately good for the remaining operators," Smith reportedly said in a recent note to clients.
据报道，史密斯在最近给客户的报告中说：“在其他条件相同的情况下，减半将使行业收入减少一半，引发整合和业务关闭浪潮，同时（希望）合理调整网络哈希率和行业资本支出，这最终对剩下的运营商有利。”
