What To Know: According to The Wall Street Journal, Starboard is pressuring Riot to change its operations, wanting the company to convert part of its bitcoin mining facilities into data centers designed to support hyperscalers. Hyperscalers are large-scale users of computing and storage power, such as Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud.

Riot's management has confirmed that it has been in discussions with Starboard and has welcomed the input. The company reiterated its commitment to creating value for its shareholders and stated that it would continue to explore options for strategic growth.
Riot管理層已確認與Starboard進行了討論，並歡迎他們的建議。公司重申了爲股東創造價值的承諾，並表示將繼續探索戰略增長的期權。

Earlier this year, the company pursued a merger with Bitfarms, another Bitcoin miner. Riot acquired nearly 20% of Bitfarms and aimed to create the largest publicly traded bitcoin mining operation. However, full merger talks did not result in a deal. Riot ultimately settled for a board seat at Bitfarms in September.
今年早些時候，該公司與另一家比特幣礦商Bitfarms進行了合併談判。Riot收購了近20%的Bitfarms，旨在創建最大的上市比特幣礦業公司。然而，全面的合併談判未能達成協議。Riot最終在9月選擇在Bitfarms獲得一個董事席位。
The push from Starboard is potentially part of a broader trend within the cryptocurrency sector. Other bitcoin miners, such as Core Scientific Inc. (NASDAQ:CORZ), have started repurposing their infrastructure for data-center use to support AI and cloud-computing demands.
Starboard的推動可能是數字貨幣板塊內更廣泛趨勢的一部分。其他比特幣礦商，如Core Scientific Inc.（納斯達克：CORZ），已開始重新利用基礎設施用於數據中心，以支持人工智能和雲計算的需求。
Starboard Value has been active in pushing for changes at other companies, including Autodesk, Match Group, Pfizer and Kenvue.
Starboard Value在推動其他公司變革方面一直很活躍，包括歐特克、Match group、輝瑞和Kenvue。
