比特大陸持有近 6 億美元的比特幣現金

比特大陸首次公開募股前投資者平台洩漏的文件顯示，截至 3 月 31 日，這家中國公司的資產負債表上持有超過 100 萬枚比特幣現金 (BCH)

Cryptocurrency mining giant Bitmain has put its money where its mouth is when it comes to bitcoin cash.

加密貨幣礦業巨頭比特大陸在比特幣現金方面已經言出必行。

Following the latter’s decision to pursue a divorce from the main BTC network due to irreconcilable differences over blockchain scaling, Bitmain announced last year that it was throwing its weight behind the cryptocurrency.

由於區塊鏈擴容方面存在不可調和的分歧，後者決定尋求與主要 BTC 網路分離，隨後比特大陸去年宣布將全力支持這種加密貨幣。

Now, leaked documents from Bitmain’s pre-IPO investor deck show that, as of March 31, the China-based firm was holding more than 1 million bitcoin cash (BCH) on its balance sheet.

現在，比特大陸首次公開募股前投資者平台洩漏的文件顯示，截至 3 月 31 日，這家中國公司的資產負債表上持有超過 100 萬枚比特幣現金 (BCH)。

At the present exchange rate, that stake is worth nearly $600 million — but down nearly $300 million from when the data in the investor deck was published.

以目前的匯率計算，該股份價值近 6 億美元，但比投資者數據公佈時減少了近 3 億美元。

Perhaps more significantly, that stake represents more than 5 percent of the 17.3 million BCH currently in circulation and 12.5 percent of the 8.4 million BCH that have been moved since the Aug. 2017 hard fork.

也許更重要的是，該股份佔目前流通的 1,730 萬個 BCH 的 5% 以上，佔 2017 年 8 月硬分叉以來轉移的 840 萬個 BCH 的 12.5%。

While Bitmain’s BCH holdings have surely changed in the nearly five months since the latest data was published in the investor deck, the firm’s stake still appears to be substantial.

儘管自從投資者平台上發布最新數據以來，比特大陸的 BCH 持股在近五個月內確實發生了變化，但該公司的持股似乎仍然很大。

Estimates Vary on Bitmain’s Current Bitcoin Cash Holdings

對比特大陸當前比特幣現金持有量的估計有所不同

Estimates vary on how much bitcoin cash Bitmain is holding now, nearly five months after the latest data published in the investor deck. However, data from the bitcoin cash “rich list” indicates that the figure is between 664,000 and 1.33 million.

在投資者平台發布最新數據近五個月後，人們對比特大陸目前持有的比特幣現金數量的估計各不相同。然而，比特幣現金「富豪榜」的數據顯示，這一數字在66.4萬至133萬之間。

Notably, Bitmain appears to be methodically liquidating its BTC holdings, even as it deepens its stake in bitcoin cash.

值得注意的是，比特大陸似乎正在有條不紊地清算其持有的比特幣，儘管它增加了對比特幣現金的持股。

At the end of March, Bitmain had about 22,000 bitcoins, down from more than 71,500 in Dec. 2016. While this does not necessarily mean that Bitmain is trading BTC directly for BCH, it does suggest that it is selling bitcoin to cover the expenses associated with its acquisition of BCH through other means, such as mining and ASIC sales.

截至3 月底，比特大陸擁有約22,000 枚比特幣，低於2016 年12 月的71,500 多枚。支付相關費用以其他方式收購BCH，例如挖礦和ASIC銷售。

BITMAIN holding 1M+ BCH is a very powerful statement that they have skin in the game and put their money where their mouth is. It’s a good and calculated move, and it’s not wise to underestimate them.

比特大陸持有 100 萬+ BCH 是一個非常有力的聲明，他們參與其中，言出必行。這是一個很好的、經過深思熟慮的舉動，低估他們是不明智的。

Either way, this data suggests that, at least until recently and possibly including the present, Bitmain has been supporting bitcoin cash by eating the cost of its BCH-related operations and hodling the coin even amidst a steep market downturn.

不管怎樣，這些數據表明，至少直到最近，甚至可能包括現在，比特大陸一直在通過消化 BCH 相關業務的成本並持有比特幣現金來支持比特幣現金，即使是在市場急劇低迷的情況下。

Even so, the bitcoin cash price has experienced a sharp decline throughout 2018, not only against the dollar but also against BTC.

即便如此，比特幣現金的價格在 2018 年全年都經歷了大幅下跌，不僅兌美元，兌 BTC 也是如此。

Since Jan. 1, BCH/BTC has dropped by approximately 50 percent, to 0.09 from 0.18. Given the low level of liquidity in the cryptocurrency market, it’s unlikely that Bitmain could liquidate its BCH holdings, even if it wanted to.

自 1 月 1 日以來，BCH/BTC 已下跌約 50%，從 0.18 跌至 0.09。鑑於加密貨幣市場的流動性水平較低，即使比特大陸願意，也不太可能清算其持有的 BCH。

That’s particularly significant since, as CCN reported, Bitmain is gearing up to go public, potentially raising $18 billion in what could be one of the largest IPOs ever.

根據 CCN 報導，這一點尤其重要，因為比特大陸正在準備上市，可能籌集 180 億美元，這可能是有史以來規模最大的 IPO 之一。

If the firm raises that full amount, it could achieve a market cap of $50 billion or more.

如果該公司籌集到全額資金，其市值可能會達到 500 億美元或更多。

Bitmain reportedly expects to rake in more than $10 billion in revenue during 2018, up from $2.5 billion last year. However, if the current bear market does not turn a corner before the company files to go public, its BCH stake could begin to weigh heavily on its profit figures and possibly turn off some investors.

據報道，比特大陸預計 2018 年收入將超過 100 億美元，高於去年的 25 億美元。然而，如果目前的熊市在該公司申請上市之前沒有扭轉局面，其持有的 BCH 股份可能會開始嚴重影響其利潤數據，並可能讓一些投資者望而卻步。
