比特币 2024 大会于 7 月 25 日正式开始,首日议程就聚焦于 BTC 挖矿。作为比特币矿企领跑者,Marathon Digital 吸引着众多投资者的目光。近期,该公司更是消息不断,动作频频,一系列举措成为了业界热点,本文将带你速览 Marathon Digital 在增持比特币、孵化 L2 等关键领域的最新布局。

一、关于 Marathon Digital

Marathon Digital 的前身是一家专利收购公司(Marathon Patent Group Inc),自 2013 年改名并开始专注于数字资产挖矿以来,经历了从传统业务到比特币挖矿的华丽转型。这一转型不仅标志着公司业务方向的重大转变,也预示着其在新兴的加密货币领域中的雄心壮志。目前 MARA 已成为最大比特币挖矿公司之一,也是北美上市公司中最大的比特币持有者之一。

MARA 其下业务为自营比特币挖矿,通过购买矿机部署矿场持有币种作为商业模式。获利方式较为单一,只能依靠提高 BTC 挖出效率和升值获利,负债率较高。其营收和比特币的价格相关性更强,熊市寒冬容易面临资不抵债的风险。作为挖矿股,具有更高的的 BTC 杠杆效应,也可以从侧面有效反应 BTC 牛熊周期。Hash Ribbons 一定程度上就可以反应比特币矿工算力、挖矿积极性以及比特币价格之间的关系。据 Glassnode 跟踪的数据显示,比特币哈希带(hash ribbons)指标正在从几个月的「投降期」中复苏。这表明矿工投降逐渐结束,价格势头正缓慢由负转正。此外,比特币减半前后,矿企盈利价格预测对市场走势也有一定意义。所以,对矿企的持续关注或会对比特币大周期把握更为精准。

二、近期布局

比特币增持:积累核心资产

Marathon Digital 在比特币挖矿领域的一项重要战略是其对比特币的长期持有策略。据 7 月 25 日消息,MARA 已购买价值 1 亿美元的比特币,其资产负债表上的比特币持有量已超 20,000 枚,约合 13 亿美元,接近总供应量的 0.1%。MARA 首席财务官 Salman Khan 暂未透露具体的购买时间和平均价格。但据比特币财务数据显示,MARA 在 6 月底时持有 18,536 BTC,据此可推测本次购买约为 1,500 BTC,价格区间在 54,000 至 68,000 美元之间。

Marathon 董事长兼首席执行官 Fred Thiel 表示:「采取全面 HODL 策略反映了对比特币长期价值的信心。我们相信比特币是世界上最好的储备资产,并支持主权财富基金持有比特币的想法。我们鼓励政府和企业都持有比特币作为储备资产。」

Marathon Digital 对比特币的增持策略是其长期投资理念的体现。MARA 通过持续购买比特币,不仅增强了资产负债表,也为未来的市场波动提供了安全垫。这一策略显示了其对比特币长期价值增长的坚定看好,同时也提供了在市场低迷时期的稳定收益来源。

Kaspa 挖矿:丰富资产组合

Kaspa 是基于 GhostDAG 协议构建的 POW 公链, Kaspa 高速的 BPS 能让 PoW 挖掘真正实现去中心化。与比特币相比,Kaspa 的挖掘过程更加节能。

早在 2023 年 5 月,MARA 就开始评估 Kaspa 作为一种潜在方式,以进一步丰富其资产组合。在 2023 年 9 月成功部署首批 Kaspa ASIC 后,MARA 开始扩大业务规模。Marathon 已购买了大约 60 petahash 的 KS3、KS5 和 KS5 Pro ASIC,据 ASIC Miner Value 估计,考虑到当前的网络难度和 KAS 价格,在某些情况下,每台 ASIC 的利润率高达 95%。截至 2024 年 6 月 25 日,Marathon 已开采 9300 万枚 KAS,目前价值约为 1500 万美元。

Marathon 首席增长官 Adam Swick 表示:「通过挖掘 Kaspa,可以创造一条不同于比特币的多元化收入来源,并带来数字资产计算方面的核心竞争力。」「由于我们现有的基础设施、与硬件制造商的独特关系、强大的资产负债表以及团队的专业知识,Marathon 拥有独特的优势来挖掘 Kaspa,可获取更高利润。

Anduro 孵化:深化生态布局

Anduro 是 Marathon Digital 孵化的比特币侧链平台 ,但独立于 MARA 发展。Anduro 侧链通过称为合并挖矿的过程以比特币工作量证明为共识核心。只需集成一个简单的 API 并运行一个完整的 Anduro 节点,任何比特币矿工都可以从 Anduro 侧链一次性永久赚取以比特币计价的交易费,合并挖矿也无需额外的电力消耗。Marathon Digital 认为通过比特币应用层来维持矿工的激励、吸引创新者以及增加交易量至关重要。而市场当前存在空白,Anduro 要做的就是创建一个合适的比特币应用层,解决矿工激励问题的同时,增强比特币网络的功能和吸引力。其包含三个关键组件,分别为 Collective、侧链和侧链原生资产。

Marathon 董事长兼首席执行官 Fred Thiel 表示:「Anduro 可能会引入新的费用收入来源,从而增加 Marathon 不断增长的技术堆栈。除此之外,通过扩展比特币的功能,Anduro 或许能够提高比特币的采用率,从而推动整个比特币生态的发展。」

Marathon 侧链产品负责人 JulianDuran 在 7 月 26 日的 Bitcoin 2024 大会发言表示,「跨境支付是区块链,特别是比特币最大的用例。」「在新兴市场,海外汇款的平均成本为交易价值的 8% 至 10%,结算通常需要 3-4 天。相比之下,比特币转账通常在 10 分钟内完成,而二层解决方案可能更快。」此外,Duran 强调,任何支付解决方案的成功都需要严格遵守监管规定,尽管这可能会增加成本。在新兴市场,监管批准通常更快更便宜,因为当地政府和监管机构希望获得更好的跨境支付解决方案。

目前,Anduro 已集成 Portal to Bitcoin,允许用户通过原子交易(加密货币可以进行点对点交易)将 ETH 等资产转换为 BTC。据 Cointelegraph 「跨境 BTC 支付是 Anduro 的首要任务」报道,Marathon Digital 正在寻求与区块链开发者合作,以构建比特币 L2 跨境支付解决方案。除了支付,Marathon 还关注现实资产的代币化计划,包括在美国将威士忌桶代币化,以及与一个平台合作保护法国城堡。

MOEP 合作:可持续性发展

今年 5 月底,比特币矿工 Marathon Digital 与肯尼亚宣布合作开展可再生能源项目,消息传出后,MARA 股价日涨幅 5%。根据联合声明,二者将成立一个委员会,负责指导所有能源相关项目的开发和实施。

结语

MARA 的近期布局,无论是在资产积累、技术创新,还是生态建设、能效管理等方面,都展示了其作为矿业龙头的实力和远见。近日,据 Factset 最新调查,MARA 的 EPS 预估上调至 0.65 元,预估目标价可达 22.50 元。相信随着比特币挖矿行业的不断成熟和全球算力的重新分布,MARA 有望持续领跑。

What is $BITCOIN

DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN): A Comprehensive Analysis Introduction to DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) is a blockchain-based project operating on the Solana network, which aims to combine the characteristics of traditional precious metals with the innovation of decentralized technologies. While it shares a name with Bitcoin, often referred to as “digital gold” due to its perception as a store of value, DIGITAL GOLD is a separate token designed to create a unique ecosystem within the Web3 landscape. Its goal is to position itself as a viable alternative digital asset, although specifics regarding its applications and functionalities are still developing. What is DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) is a cryptocurrency token explicitly designed for use on the Solana blockchain. In contrast to Bitcoin, which provides a widely recognized value storage role, this token appears to focus on broader applications and characteristics. Notable aspects include: Blockchain Infrastructure: The token is built on the Solana blockchain, known for its capacity to handle high-speed and low-cost transactions. Supply Dynamics: DIGITAL GOLD has a maximum supply capped at 100 quadrillion tokens (100P $BITCOIN), although details regarding its circulating supply are currently undisclosed. Utility: While precise functionalities are not explicitly outlined, there are indications that the token could be utilized for various applications, potentially involving decentralized applications (dApps) or asset tokenization strategies. Who is the Creator of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? At present, the identity of the creators and development team behind DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) remains unknown. This situation is typical among many innovative projects within the blockchain space, particularly those aligning with decentralized finance and meme coin phenomena. While such anonymity may foster a community-driven culture, it intensifies concerns about governance and accountability. Who are the Investors of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? The available information indicates that DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) does not have any known institutional backers or prominent venture capital investments. The project seems to operate on a peer-to-peer model focused on community support and adoption rather than traditional funding routes. Its activity and liquidity are primarily situated on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), such as PumpSwap, rather than established centralized trading platforms, further highlighting its grassroots approach. How DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) Works The operational mechanics of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) can be elaborated on based on its blockchain design and network attributes: Consensus Mechanism: By leveraging Solana’s unique proof-of-history (PoH) combined with a proof-of-stake (PoS) model, the project ensures efficient transaction validation contributing to the network's high performance. Tokenomics: While specific deflationary mechanisms have not been extensively detailed, the vast maximum token supply implies that it may cater to microtransactions or niche use cases that are still to be defined. Interoperability: There exists the potential for integration with Solana’s broader ecosystem, including various decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. However, the details regarding specific integrations remain unspecified. Timeline of Key Events Here is a timeline that highlights significant milestones concerning DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN): 2023: The initial deployment of the token occurs on the Solana blockchain, marked by its contract address. 2024: DIGITAL GOLD gains visibility as it becomes available for trading on decentralized exchanges like PumpSwap, allowing users to trade it against SOL. 2025: The project witnesses sporadic trading activity and potential interest in community-led engagements, although no noteworthy partnerships or technical advancements have been documented as of yet. Critical Analysis Strengths Scalability: The underlying Solana infrastructure supports high transaction volumes, which could enhance the utility of $BITCOIN in various transaction scenarios. Accessibility: The potential low trading price per token could attract retail investors, facilitating wider participation due to fractional ownership opportunities. Risks Lack of Transparency: The absence of publicly known backers, developers, or an audit process may yield skepticism regarding the project's sustainability and trustworthiness. Market Volatility: The trading activity is heavily reliant on speculative behavior, which can result in significant price volatility and uncertainty for investors. Conclusion DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) emerges as an intriguing yet ambiguous project within the rapidly evolving Solana ecosystem. While it attempts to leverage the “digital gold” narrative, its departure from Bitcoin's established role as a store of value underscores the need for a clearer differentiation of its intended utility and governance structure. Future acceptance and adoption will likely depend on addressing the current opacity and defining its operational and economic strategies more explicitly. Note: This report encompasses synthesised information available as of October 2023, and developments may have transpired beyond the research period.
