全球比特币挖矿的地理版图正在经历一场深刻的变革。曾经由中国牢牢占据主导地位的算力格局，如今已发生戏剧性的逆转。根据权威研究机构的最新数 据以及美国政府高层官员的表态，美国不仅已取代中国成为全球最大的比特币挖矿中心，其政府更展现出前所未有的积极姿态，计划通过一系列措施巩固 并扩大这一领先地位，甚至可能涉及协助矿工解决能源这一核心痛点。 中国禁令下的算力大迁徙 剑桥大学替代金融中心（Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance,CCAF）近期发布的一项研究报告，为美国在全球比特币挖矿领域的压倒性优势提供了有 力证据。该研究基于对49家大型矿业公司的调查（这些公司合计占据了比特币网络近一半的算力），得出的结论令人瞩目：美国目前控制着全球高达 75.4%的比特币哈希率（Hashing Power）。 报告指出：美国已经巩固了其作为全球最大挖矿中心的地位（占报告活动的75.4%）。按照当时全球约796EH/s的总算力计算，这意味着仅美国就贡献了 约600EH/s的算力。即便考虑到不同统计口径可能存在的差异，其他估计也显示美国的算力占比至少在50%以上，这无疑证实了美国在全球比特币挖矿 ...
