比特币矿企 Riot 正把更多资源转向 AI 基础设施。随着挖矿收入下滑、电力成本上升,公司出售了 4300 枚比特币,为数据中心建设提供资金。

挖矿收入承压

报道显示,Riot 第二季度挖矿收入同比下滑 19.3%,主要受电价上涨和全网 hashprice 跌至低位影响。同期,比特币价格大致在 6.35 万至 6.37 万美元区间波动,而行业模型给出的单枚比特币平均挖矿成本已升至 7.6 万至 7.8 万美元。

在这一背景下,矿工盈利空间继续收窄。全网 hashprice 已降至每 PH/s 每日 30 至 35 美元的低位,只有电价极低、设备更新较快的运营商仍能维持较好利润。

Riot出售比特币筹资

Riot 的经营数据虽然好于部分同行,但也受到同样压力。公司披露,其单枚比特币直接开采成本升至 49912 美元,原因包括能源价格上升,以及肯塔基州产能扩张带来的成本增加。

在挖矿业务承压之下,公司选择部分变现持仓。报道提到,Riot 在矿业收入为 1.137 亿美元的同时,出售了部分此前积累的比特币。

  • 出售数量:4300 枚 BTC
  • 现金储备:5.489 亿美元
  • 比特币储备:11380 枚 BTC

转向更稳定的算力业务

Riot 目前仍保有较强流动性。公司可动用流动资产约 12 亿美元,其中包括现金和比特币储备。这为其继续推进新业务提供了资金缓冲。

公司正在把业务重心逐步转向更稳定的数据中心和算力租赁。报道称,Riot 已向 AMD 交付首批容量,其长期项目则是一份为期 20 年的 AI 实验室设施租赁合同,预计可带来 91 亿美元收入。

Riot 的调整并非个例。2026 年以来,多家矿企开始把矿场、电力和机房资源转向 AI 相关基础设施。MARA Holdings、Core Scientific 和 Bitdeer 此前也曾部分或全部出售加密资产储备,用于建设 AI 算力设施。

NVIDIA Turns GPU into “Financiable Asset”: $500 Billion is Rewriting the Expansion Strategy of AI
NVIDIA announced on August 10th that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR to establish an independent computing power financing platform. The plan is to mobilize over $500 billion in third-party capital over the long term to build AI infrastructure. There are no new chip companies on the list; almost all of them are among the world's largest asset management and alternative investment institutions. This indicates that in the next phase of AI infrastructure development, competition is no longer limited to wafer factories and data centers but has also begun to occur on the balance sheets.

Half price, updated every three weeks: Gemini 3.7 Flash Pushing large model competition into "unit task cost"
On August 13th, when Google released Gemini version 3.7, the most memorable aspect was the pricing: it cost $0.75 per million inputs and provided an output of $3.75, valid for the entire year, which was only half of the initial price of $3.6 of the previous generation Flash. However, what is truly noteworthy is not that the model has become cheaper again, but rather that Google replaced the previous version Flash just three weeks later. The iteration of this model is shifting from a release cycle of once a year to a continuous delivery model similar to that of cloud services.
