CleanSpark CEO Zach Bradford Explains Why The Company Is Betting on Bitcoin Mining, Not Buying
"So really, the way we look at it is you're faced with the decision, do you buy assets to produce Bitcoin on a reoccurring basis, at what right now is better than 50% margins to spot price? Or do you go buy Bitcoin?" the company's top executive said.CleanSpark Inc. (NASDAQ:CLSK) said Monday that much of its shareholder value is derived from investments in mining facilities, rather than adding Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) to its balance sheet.
CleanSpark 公司（納斯達克：CLSK）週一表示，其股東價值大部分來自於對礦場的投資，而不是將比特幣（數字貨幣：BTC）添加到其資產負債表上。
What Happened: During the company's fourth-quarter earnings call, CEO Zach Bradford noted that, while the firm is not against direct Bitcoin purchases, it believes that the highest returns for shareholders come from acquiring or building Bitcoin production facilities.
發生了什麼：在公司第四季度的業績會上，首席執行官扎克·布拉德福德指出，儘管公司並不反對直接購買比特幣，但它相信，給股東帶來最高回報的方式是獲取或建造比特幣生產設施。
Bradford said that the company was producing Bitcoins at healthy margins, lowering the average value of the cost basis of its stash.
布拉德福德表示，公司以健康的利潤率生產比特幣，從而降低其儲備的平均成本基礎價值。
"So really, the way we look at it is you're faced with the decision, do you buy assets to produce Bitcoin on a reoccurring basis, at what right now is better than 50% margins to spot price? Or do you go buy Bitcoin?" the company's top executive said.
"所以，從我們來看，你面臨一個選擇，你是買入資產以重複產生比特幣，當前的利潤率超過50%？還是去買比特幣呢？"公司的頂級高管說道。
Bradford suggested that CleanSpark's strategy provides a competitive edge, as miners who are buying Bitcoin operate at a loss or very slim margins.
布拉德福德建議，CleanSpark 的策略提供了競爭優勢，因爲購買比特幣的礦工的運營損失或利潤微薄。
Why It Matters: As of this writing, CleanSpark was the seventh-biggest corporate holder of Bitcoin, with a stash of 8,701 BTCs, worth $836.96 million at current market price, per data from bitcointreasuries.net.
重要原因：截至撰寫本文時，CleanSpark 是第七大企業比特幣持有者，擁有8701 BTC，按當前市場價格價值83696萬美元，數據來源於 bitcointreasuries.net。
