【Crypto World】Interesting news has arrived—public company BitVentures (Nasdaq: BVC) officially announces the establishment of a digital asset division, marking its entry into the crypto mining sector.

They have just reached a procurement agreement with Bitmain, planning to acquire S21 XP Hydro, S21 XP Air-cooled, and L9 miners. The hardware lineup is quite impressive—with a Bitcoin hash rate target set at 30 PH/s, and Litecoin and Dogecoin hash rates at 0.5 TH/s. These devices are scheduled to start operating in data centers in the United States from January next year.

Company CEO Lawrence Wai Lok mentioned in the announcement that this move is essentially a proof of concept (PoC), with bigger plans ahead—aiming to gradually expand operational scale and even explore staking and node services.

What does the market think? The stock price speaks for itself. After the announcement, BVC surged 19.32% in pre-market trading, reaching $1.36. This reflects optimistic expectations from capital regarding traditional listed companies venturing into Web3 mining.

From mining to staking and then to node services, this is an attempt to explore the entire yield route of the crypto ecosystem. Interestingly, such layouts by traditional financial companies may serve as a reference for more listed companies to follow.

BTC1.62%

LTC2.65%

DOGE13.68%

Wait, a listed company is directly entering the mining industry? They're really serious about this. They've投入30PH of computing power, and the stock price shot up by 19 points. The market is really buying into this. But I'm worried that next year, electricity and maintenance costs will rise, eating into profits. It might be a different story then. 30PH of computing power—what level is that in the industry? Can someone calculate the ROI? Honestly, I'm a bit tempted to invest, but I'm afraid of being the bagholder.

Another traditional listed company is entering the mining industry, but this time it looks quite serious. Wait, the "PoC" the CEO mentioned is probably to set the stage for large-scale expansion later, I've seen this routine in the US stock market too many times. 30PH/s sounds like a lot, but it's still far behind those professional mining farms... By the way, the stock price has surged 19%, let's see after the equipment goes online in January next year. Bitmain has really sold out Antminer this time, they are the ones laughing last. Is this company really planning to go all-in on mining? Or just doing a pilot project to raise funds? I'm not very optimistic; traditional companies often struggle to adapt when entering this field. Staking and node services? Good idea, but let's see how well they execute. The stock price rising so rapidly is a bit unsettling... Can this momentum last until next year?

The stock price increased by 19%, this move is indeed impressive. DOGE and LTC are also getting involved, there are quite a few ways to play. But can 30 PH/s really make money? How much would the electricity cost... Traditional listed companies are also starting to mine, which is quite interesting. Does the CEO genuinely believe in this? Or is it just another scheme to harvest retail investors? They won't start running until January next year, and the market could change by then.

30PH/s啊，这规模不小啊... Wait, publicly listed companies are starting to mine? Feels like this cycle has really arrived The stock price surged by 19%, betting on that "bigger plan" later, right? With this pace, it feels like another roller coaster ride is coming S21 XP投入这么多，是真心押宝还是跟风割韭菜？ I'm a bit curious how they calculate electricity costs, is it expensive over there in the US? Is mining starting to get competitive again... Why does this pattern seem familiar? Is it happening again? 30PH sounds impressive, but truly making money still depends on electricity costs and coin prices Public companies are getting involved, is this a sign to take action... I find it hard to believe they would still dare to invest so heavily now, or do they really have some inside information?

30 PH/s? This data seems a bit suspicious. We need to investigate where the funds are coming from. It's basically just a different way of saying financing; the guise of PoC is very convenient. It won't be operational until January next year. Why does this explanation sound so familiar... I heard the same set of words last time. A 19% increase in stock price and that's it? Let's look at the on-chain footprint of that mining machine payment first. I suspect they have a batch of dormant wallets hoarding coins, and now they're just legitimizing the existing stock.
