]

近日比特幣市值再度回升至 1 兆美元,讓挖礦商機再現動能。9 日,在那斯達克交易所上市的中國礦機大廠嘉楠耘智(Canaan),股價一天內瘋漲逾 50%,明顯受到比特幣價格走高帶動。

Business Insider、CNBC 報導,根據 Coindesk 報價,台北時間 9 日上午,比特幣價格來到 54,000 美元,市值重返 1 兆美元,是繼今年 2 月 19 日後,史上第二次突破 1 兆美元大關。台北時間 10 日上午 7 時 39 分,比特幣價格報 54,694.94 美元,雖然低於歷史高點 58,332.36 美元,但今年累計漲幅達 87.61%,對挖礦概念股是一大利多。

嘉楠耘智 9 日股價飆漲 50.45% 收 28.69 美元,創史上新高收盤價,今年以來累計勁揚 383.81%,而大盤標普 500 指數同期漲幅為 3.18%。

2013 年,嘉楠耘智由董事長兼執行長張楠賡創立,主要生產搭載人工智慧(AI)晶片的比特幣礦機,並以發明全球第一台基於 ASIC(特殊應用晶片)的區塊鏈運算設備而聞名。

過去 6 個月來,嘉楠耘智股價隨著比特幣漲勢一路大漲,漲幅高達 1,000% 以上。去年 9 月,嘉楠耘智的股價僅每股 2 美元左右。

據嘉楠耘智表示,近期獲得來自北美客戶的高額訂單,總計超過 10 萬台比特幣礦機。之前嘉楠耘智的主要客戶群為個體礦工,但 2020 年底時,開始轉攻公開上市公司和比特幣投資基金。

今年 1 月,嘉楠耘智與北美挖礦巨頭 Hive Blockchain 簽署 6,400 台礦機採購訂單,總算力達 576PH/s。

The US Government Sold Some Bitcoin – And the Winning Bidder Got a Bargain

]

Benzinga

The Indian government has an agenda to ban the possession, trading, transfer, and mining of all private virtual currencies through a proposed law, which is being dubbed as the world’s strictest measure on digital coins. At the same time, the government of the South Asian nation is pursuing foreign investment and wooing companies such as Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) — which are bullish on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) — to open shop in the country. Will the cryptocurrency ban affect the Elon Musk-led company’s Indian foray considering Tesla’s exposure to Bitcoin? Laying Down The Law: Sources suggest that “The Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill, 2021” will be introduced in the current session of the Indian parliament, the second part of which commenced last week.” Cryptocurrency isn’t fiat currency backed by the Reserve Bank of India, and its usage in all forms will be banned through the new law that will be introduced in Parliament,” a person in the Indian finance ministry told BloombergQuint. To Bangalore Via Amsterdam: Musk, whose Tesla invested .5 billion in BTC in February, is planning entry into the Indian market through a circuitous corporate structure in order to save tax, Indian media reported earlier in the year. Tesla’s Indian arm was incorporated with $20,502 in authorized capital and $1,367 paid-up capital in Bangalore. Tesla’s Dutch subsidiary Tesla Motors is the parent of Tesla Motors and Energy India, according to the Economic Times. See also: How to Buy Bitcoin (BTC) Is Tesla In Hot Curry: There is no clarity whether the law has any implication on non-residents of India as the detailed provisions of the bill are not yet public knowledge. If non-residents are not impacted, then it is reasonable to believe that Tesla Netherlands or the parent headquartered in Palo, Alto, California have little to worry about. As long as the Indian subsidiary does not hold, transact, transfer, or trade cryptocurrencies, they would be in compliance with any such future law. However, if the law is extraterritorial in nature, Musk — a serial Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) tweeter — is in trouble. Article 245 of the Indian constitution allows the country’s parliament to make laws for “whole or any part of the territory of India.” However, it also spells out that “no law made by Parliament shall be deemed to be invalid on the ground that it would have extra-territorial operation.” India At Odds With The World: The increased speculation that India would bring into force such stringent regulation is increasingly at odds with other parts of the world where private individuals and corporates are increasingly adopting cryptocurrencies. Investments by Square Inc (NASDAQ: SQ) and MicroStrategy Incorporated (NASDAQ: MSTR) to the tune of billions are a clear indicator in which way the wind is blowing. BTC has soared to new highs touching an all-time high of $61,683.86 on March 13 in such an atmosphere. The apex cryptocurrency traded 4.09% high at $59,129.97 at press time. In such an environment, seven million Indians are the second-largest holders of BTC and hold over $1 billion of the cryptocurrency in their wallets. The government is reportedly mulling giving them all a grace period to shed their positions and exit an asset that is increasingly popular elsewhere in the world. Price Action: Tesla shares closed nearly 3.7% higher at $701.81 on Wednesday and fell 0.29% in the after-hours session.

DMG Increases its Bitcoin Exposure by Accumulating Additional BTC for its Treasury

]

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (TSX-V: DMGI) (DMGGF:OTCQB US) (FRANKFURT:6AX) (“DMG” or the “Company”), a vertically integrated blockchain and cryptocurrency technology company, today announces that its Board of Directors has approved, along with its self-mining, to incorporate a Bitcoin accumulation strategy to significantly increase the Company’s Bitcoin (“BTC”) treasury holdings. After watching for buying opportunities in the market over the last few days and weeks, DMG has started to implement this plan by executing Bitcoin purchases in the amount of roughly 220 BTC since Monday afternoon through customary cryptocurrency exchanges and direct over-the-counter (“OTC”) trades. DMG intends to periodically purchase BTC, based on market conditions, trends and corporate opportunities.

Over the long term, DMG intends to increase its Bitcoin treasury by mining and holding it. In addition, the Company will, from time to time, acquire Bitcoin through a direct investment model such as using funds which are budgeted for later capital deployments. This will allow DMG to use Bitcoin as an ideal store of value, and also as a means to transact, as needed.

“Buying Bitcoin helps to efficiently diversify DMG’s monetary holdings away from cash, and over time we intend to make BTC our treasury currency of choice,” said DMG’s COO, Sheldon Bennett. “We are well connected in this industry and therefore know that many more companies will shortly begin to add Bitcoin to their balance sheets as a hedge against the ongoing dilution and inflation. We believe this will contribute to an even stronger Bitcoin price in the coming weeks and months, from which DMG is positioned to significantly benefit.”

Moving forward, DMG will continue to implement its two-fold business strategy: to grow the corporate blockchain businesses in all of its three divisions (including but not limited to Bitcoin mining and Bitcoin pool management), and to hold newly-mined Bitcoin rewards and acquire additional Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset, when possible.

Story continues

“Just as an individual or corporate investor might hold large cash positions, so they might face significant risk of loss of value due to inflation alone. However, that risk doesn’t exist with Bitcoin, which is a deflationary asset by default, with an ever-increasing demand for this superior cryptocurrency. This demand is mainly driven by rapidly growing institutional adoption and an increasingly large demand by retail investors. Coupled with a drastically declining supply of new coins, ultimately, we expect continuously rising Bitcoin prices, which is exactly what we’ve been witnessing in the last few months. We believe Bitcoin has and will continue to have greater value than traditional currencies such as the US dollar,” added DMG’s CEO, Daniel Reitzik.
