比特币挖矿可以带来一些好运，但鉴于比特币和其他加密货币的不可预测性，挖矿活动可能会横盘整理，甚至迫使资金最充足的公司采取孤注一掷的措施——比如出售设备以维持生计。
Stronghold Digital Mining 周三宣布，它将向纽约数字投资集团返还超过 26,000 台比特币矿机，以换取取消 6,740 万美元的债务。
Stronghold Digital 是一家公开交易的比特币挖矿公司，报告称它已与贷方重新谈判其融资协议，以削减其债务总额的一半以上以及相关的利息和本金支付。

NYDIG 是一家行业领先的比特币公司，帮助矿工为机器和能源基础设施融资。 SDIG 的举动是在加密货币公司努力评估当前市场崩溃的破坏性影响之际进行的。
尽管比特币 (BTC) 暂时反弹至 25,000 美元，但仍较 2021 年 11 月创下的历史高位 69,045 美元下跌了 65%。据统计，比特币目前售价为 23,523 美元，过去一周下跌 1.8%Coingecko。
根据 Stronghold Digital 的说法，债务重组和再融资安排是公司“至少在接下来的 12 个月内保持持续经营”所必需的。
Stronghold 在本周发布之前将其第二季度财务报告的发布时间推迟了 7 天。该公司表示，延迟是由于谈判过程。
第二季度收益报告显示，Stronghold 的债务超过 1.28 亿美元。因此，与 NYDIG 达成的协议减少了该公司 50% 以上的未偿债务。
自今年上半年市场动荡以来，比特币矿业公司开始出售开采的 BTC 或采矿设备，以偿还债务或支付运营费用。 5 月，当比特币的价格跌破 30,000 美元时，例如，矿工出售了所有产出。
根据 Arcane Research 的一项调查，比特币矿工在 6 月份售出了约 15,000 个 BTC，占其比特币产量的 400%。 7 月，这个数字下降到 6,200 BTC。
然而，Stronghold 没有清算其比特币储备，而是通过出售其挖矿设备来减少债务。该公司声称这不会对其比特币生产能力产生长期影响。
与此同时，在重组细节公布后，Stronghold Digital的股价在收盘后又下跌了6%。
比特币熊市重创了公开交易的矿工，导致他们的股价今年平均下跌超过 60%。
