聯準會準備再次出售絲路比特幣？

聯準會再次轉移他們的比特幣儲備。 Arkham Intelligence 的區塊鏈數據顯示，一個被標記為屬於美國國務院的錢包

A crypto wallet belonging to the U.S. government transferred roughly $2 billion worth of confiscated Bitcoin (BTC) to a new unlabeled address on Monday.

週一，美國政府的一個加密錢包將價值約 20 億美元的沒收比特幣 (BTC) 轉移到一個新的未標記地址。

The address sent 19,800 BTC ($1.3 billion) and 10,000 BTC ($670 million) to two different wallets. Arkham said the 10,000 BTC stash was deposited to institutional custody or service.

該地址將 19,800 BTC（13 億美元）和 10,000 BTC（6.7 億美元）發送到兩個不同的錢包。 Arkham 表示，這 10,000 枚 BTC 被存放在機構託管或服務機構。

The roughly 28,000 BTC, valued at more than $2 billion, is tied to funds the DOJ previously seized from the now-defunct dark web marketplace Silk Road. In late 2023, a U.S. court finalized a mandate that formalized the forfeiture of 69,370 BTC and other crypto linked to the Silk Road.

這大約 28,000 比特幣的價值超過 20 億美元，與司法部先前從現已不復存在的暗網市場 Silk Road 中扣押的資金相關。 2023 年末，美國法院最終確定了一項強制令，正式沒收 69,370 比特幣和其他與絲綢之路相關的加密貨幣。

The latest transfer spooked investors, although it’s unclear whether the United States intends to sell today’s transferred BTC. The BTC price plummeted below $67,000 after inching toward the $70,000 mark earlier in the day. Bitcoin had slightly rebounded to $67,284 at press time, down 1.1% over the past 24 hours. The alpha crypto is still below its 2021 all-time high of $69,044.

儘管目前尚不清楚美國是否打算出售今天轉移的比特幣，但最新的轉移還是嚇壞了投資者。 BTC 價格在當天早些時候小幅逼近 70,000 美元大關後暴跌至 67,000 美元以下。截至發稿時，比特幣小幅反彈至 67,284 美元，過去 24 小時下跌 1.1%。阿爾法加密貨幣仍低於 2021 年的歷史高點 69,044 美元。

Silk Road, which went bust over 10 years ago, allowed users to purchase and sell illegal goods, including weapons, narcotics, and stolen credit card information. U.S. authorities arrested its creator, Ross Ulbricht, in 2013. He is currently serving two life sentences without the possibility of parole.

十多年前破產的絲綢之路允許用戶購買和出售非法商品，包括武器、毒品和被盜的信用卡資訊。美國當局於 2013 年逮捕了其創建者羅斯·烏布利希 (Ross Ulbricht)。

BTC As A Strategic Reserve Asset For US

比特幣作為美國的戰略儲備資產

The U.S. government’s BTC movement comes just two days after Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump told the audience at Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville, Tennesse, that he would create a national “strategic Bitcoin stockpile” if he returned to the Oval Office. As part of that proposal, Trump indicated that the government would no longer sell any confiscated crypto.

就在美國政府發起比特幣運動的兩天前，共和黨總統候選人唐納德·川普在田納西州納什維爾舉行的比特幣2024 大會上向觀眾表示，如果他回到橢圓形辦公室，他將創建一個全國性的「戰略比特幣儲備」。作為該提案的一部分，川普表示政府將不再出售任何沒收的加密貨幣。

The 78-year-old politician also repeated his promise to commute the sentence of Silk Road’s Ulbricht if reelected president.

這位78歲的政治人物也重申，如果連任總統，將為絲路組織的烏布利希減刑。

According to Arkham, the U.S. government was sitting on a $12 billion BTC fortune before Monday’s transfer — making it one of the single biggest Bitcoin owners in the world after Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy.

根據 Arkham 的說法，在周一的轉移之前，美國政府坐擁 120 億美元的 BTC 財富，使其成為繼 Michael Saylor 的 MicroStrategy 之後世界上最大的比特幣所有者之一。
