Leverage magnifies the damage
The fund's use of borrowed money amplified losses during the rout. Leverage can juice returns in a rising market, but it works in reverse when prices fall.

Situational Awareness is approaching both existing investors and new lenders to raise the fresh funds. The move comes at a delicate time for crypto-mining stocks, which have been under pressure from falling Bitcoin prices and rising energy costs. The fund's ability to attract capital will be a test of confidence in the sector after the July shakeout.
The fund is expected to provide more details on the capital raise in the coming weeks. For now, the focus is on stabilizing its positions and convincing backers that the miner-stock thesis remains intact despite the leveraged blowup.
So the third paragraph in the original is actually the "Leverage magnifies the damage" paragraph. And then "Capital raise underway" has two paragraphs. I need to preserve the HTML structure exactly as given. So I will translate eachand
accordingly.
