就美国芯片巨头Nvidia退出采矿业的原因，媒体一般倾向于认为其对加密货币缺乏兴趣。就在一年多前，Nvidia还期望能在数字货币领域产生更大的影响力。而最近，数字货币行业似乎缺乏新鲜血液导致行业疲软，Nvidia业绩也表现不佳，这位GPU和半导体行业玩家已准备收拾包袱离开数字货币采矿业。

Nvidia预备退出加密货币行业

Nvidia首席财务官证实，“我们相信我们已经回到了“正常”时期，我们基本上并没有对加密货币抱有过大期望，所以我们选择离开这个加密货币行业，向前看。” “我们的对加密货币收入预期已下降至1亿美元，而实际的数字货币专用产品收入仅为1800万美元，我们预计，未来这个行业对集团的收益贡献甚至可以忽略不计，”Kress女士说。

Nvidia（纳斯达克股票代码：NVDA）是一家芯片制造巨头，是全球科技行业的中坚力量。它在纳斯达克和标准普尔等董事会中排名前100位，是反映特定行业相对财务状况的指标。这个拥有25年历史的美国公司宣一年前方宣布其进入数字货币采矿业的计划，每个人都以为，Nvidia会很快成为这个行业的领导这之一，事实可能并非如此。

是主动退出还是被迫离开？

“尽管数字货币采矿相关的半导体业务收入可能不会太多，”Nvidia首席财务官强调说，“就我们的销售情况而言，它仍然会对我们整体经营产生影响，也会对整体销售渠道和资金方面产生影响。” 因此，在过去的几个季度中，我们已经全面稳定了销售渠道，我们确实在销售上取得巨大成果，使得我们的利润能够从中受益。“从财务数据反映出来的事实是：数字货币行业目前还在野蛮生长。 

据传，Nvidia因数字货币对GPU卡的需求而被吸引到采矿业，在此之前，该公司被认为主要是针对游戏玩家进行茶品开发。Nvidia注意到，矿工们需要越来越多的GPU卡，更多的容量。然而，Nvida指出，这是2017年的特殊情况，当时数字货币行业全面暴涨。

首席执行官Jensen Huang在实验开始时相当看好，公开承认加密采矿并没有给公司的底线增加太多，“此时，我们认为下半年它并不重要”，因此预备离开数字货币采矿业。

Media accounts are leaning toward blaming a supposed lack of interest in cryptocurrency as the reason US chip behemoth Nvidia has backed out of the mining industry. It was only a little over a year ago the company hoped to make an impact in the space. Whether it’s the industry losing steam or the simple fact Nvidia was beaten, the GPU and semiconductor player has officially packed its bags.

Nvidia Packs Up and Leaves Crypto

“We believe we’ve reached a normal period as we’re looking forward to essentially no cryptocurrency as we move forward,” Colette Kress, Nvidia CFO confirmed. “Our revenue outlook had anticipated cryptocurrency-specific products declining to approximately $100 million, while actual crypto-specific product revenue was $18 million, and we now expect a negligible contribution going forward,” Ms. Kress detailed.

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is a chip-making giant, a global force in the tech industry. It ranks as a staple of top 100 components on boards like Nasdaq and S&P, metrics to determine the relative financial health of a given sector. The quarter-century old US company announced just a little over a year ago it would be entering cryptocurrency mining, and everyone took notice. It appeared Nvidia would soon become an industry leader just through heft. It has not turned out that way.

Leaving or Being Shoved Out the Door?

“Although crypto revenue may not be large,” the Nvidia CFO stressed, ”it still has a derivative impact on our stack in terms of what we are selling and to both replenish the overall channel and such. So, over the last several quarters, that we had stabilizing that overall channel, we did get the great effect of selling just about everything and our margins really been able to benefit from that.” And it’s a financial truism at this point: crypto can be brutal. 

It’s rumored the company was lured into the mining sector through demand for its GPU cards, until then thought mostly reserved for gamers. Miners needed more and more GPU cards, more capacity, and, the theory goes, Nvidia took notice. However, that was the unicorn price year of 2017, when crypto surged and seemed only destined to ascend.CEO Jensen Huang, rather bullish at the start of the experiment, openly admitted crypto mining didn’t add much to the company’s bottom line, and “at this time, we consider it to be immaterial for the second half,” and thus the packing of bags.
