比特幣市值重返 1 兆美元,礦機巨頭嘉楠股價飆逾 50%

]

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

]

A key reason bitcoin‘s price has doubled this year, according to many analysts, is so few holders want to part with the cryptocurrency: “more buyers than sellers,” as the old Wall Street adage goes.

Unless you’re the U.S. government, which this week sold some bitcoin for dollars.

The amount was tiny in relative terms – not even an entire bitcoin, just 0.7501 BTC, worth a little over $40,000. Compare that to the current federal budget deficit, projected during the current fiscal year to exceed the record $3.1 trillion reported for 2020. A veritable drop in the bucket.

However, the winning bidder got a good deal.

The Washington Post reported the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), which held the two-day event that ended on March 17, often holds auctions, usually of surplus federal assets such as office furniture, school buses and aircraft parts.

However, GSA told the Post the federal government has been auctioning bitcoin since 2014, after the FBI shut down the online black market Silk Road and seized more than 170,000 bitcoin in the crackdown.

In this week’s auction, the winning bidder got the bitcoin for $53,104.

According to CoinDesk’s Bitcoin Price Index, the cryptocurrency never fell below $54,200 on Wednesday, and it has since jumped to about $59,000.

The government told the newspaper the auction commanded a premium relative to the market price. The GSA didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from CoinDesk.

“Auctioning off this share of cryptocurrency broke new ground for our GSA Auctions platform, and we’re extremely pleased by the enthusiasm we’ve seen from our bidders,” Acting Regional Administrator Kevin Kerns, with GSA’s southeast sunbelt region, said in a statement to the Post.
