麥可·塞勒是否暗示蘋果有興趣購買比特幣？

使用暗示蘋果著名的“被咬的蘋果”標誌的圖像和語言引發了人們的猜測，即這家電腦巨頭可能正在考慮

MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor dropped a cryptic tweet that has sparked excitement and speculation within the Bitcoin (BTC) community. Taking to the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, Saylor posted the phrase "Take a ₿ite" and included an image of a blue apple with the Bitcoin Central logo.

MicroStrategy 創辦人 Michael Saylor 發布了一條神秘的推文，引發了比特幣 (BTC) 社群的興奮和猜測。 Saylor 在社交媒體平台 X（以前稱為 Twitter）上發布了“Take a ₿ite”這句話，並附上了一張帶有 Bitcoin Central 徽標的藍蘋果圖片。

The imagery and language used in the post, notably the reference to Apple's iconic "bitten apple" logo, have led to猜测 that the tech giant may be considering an acquisition of Bitcoin. With substantial cash reserves currently exceeding $47 billion, Apple is certainly positioned to make large-scale investments, as noted by Coingape.

貼文中使用的圖像和語言，特別是對蘋果標誌性「被咬的蘋果」標誌的引用，讓人猜測這家科技巨頭可能正在考慮收購比特幣。 Coingape 指出，蘋果目前擁有超過 470 億美元的大量現金儲備，因此肯定能夠進行大規模投資。

Moreover, the implications of this scenario have fueled discussions about the possibility of the company adding Bitcoin to its portfolio, even though there have been no public announcements from Apple regarding its interest in BTC.

此外，這種情況的影響引發了有關該公司將比特幣添加到其投資組合中的可能性的討論，儘管蘋果尚未公開宣布對比特幣的興趣。

In a recent interview with Robin Seyr, Saylor delved into the potential synergy between Apple and Bitcoin. Among other remarks, he suggested that Apple could integrate the network's security aspects into its ecosystem. Elaborating on this proposition, Saylor stated:

在最近接受 Robin Seyr 採訪時，塞勒深入探討了蘋果和比特幣之間的潛在協同作用。除其他言論外，他還建議蘋果可以將網路的安全方面整合到其生態系統中。 Saylor 詳細闡述了這項主張：

“When Apple discovers Bitcoin, I think they might look at it and say, 'Wait a minute... what if we made the Apple Watch a signing device and combined it with the iPhone and a third device on a laptop? What would that look like? Bitcoin multi-signature Cloud."

「當蘋果發現比特幣時，我想他們可能會說，『等一下…如果我們將Apple Watch 做成簽名設備，並將其與iPhone 和筆記型電腦上的第三個設備結合起來，會怎麼樣？那會是什麼樣子呢？比特幣多重簽名雲。

Furthermore, he envisioned Apple playing a pivotal role in the financial sector by offering user-friendly and highly secure multisig solutions. In Saylor's words:

此外，他預計蘋果透過提供用戶友好且高度安全的多重簽名解決方案，在金融領域發揮關鍵作用。用塞勒的話說：

“Maybe Apple Computer will become the largest bank in the world in the future.”

“也許蘋果電腦未來會成為世界上最大的銀行。”

Such a move would not only bolster Bitcoin's status as a mainstream asset but also have far-reaching implications for institutional adoption of the cryptocurrency.

此舉不僅會鞏固比特幣作為主流資產的地位，還會對加密貨幣的機構採用產生深遠的影響。

In his remarks, Saylor also touched upon the future of Bitcoin scaling, anticipating the continued emergence of Layer 2 and Layer 3 solutions. Statements like these continue to highlight the transformative potential of integrating Bitcoin with advanced technological ecosystems, such as Apple's.

Saylor 在演講中也談到了比特幣擴容的未來，預計第 2 層和第 3 層解決方案將繼續出現。此類聲明繼續強調了將比特幣與蘋果等先進技術生態系統結合的變革潛力。

Recent Institutional Inflows into Bitcoin

最近機構資金流入比特幣

The latest institutional investment trends in Bitcoin add to the overall enthusiasm building around the primary cryptocurrency. According to recent reports, Japanese investment firm Metaplanet, often dubbed "Asia's MicroStrategy," announced a substantial Bitcoin purchase.

比特幣的最新機構投資趨勢增加了圍繞主要加密貨幣的整體熱情。根據最近報道，通常被稱為「亞洲的 MicroStrategy」的日本投資公司 Metaplanet 宣布大量購買比特幣。

The investment was made on June 24, with Metaplanet acquiring a total of ¥1 billion ($6.25 million) in Bitcoin following a recent bond sale.

這項投資於 6 月 24 日進行，Metaplanet 在最近發行債券後收購了總計 10 億日圓（625 萬美元）的比特幣。

The purchase brings Metaplanet's total Bitcoin holdings to over 240 BTC, valued at approximately $15 million at current prices. The investment firm has now made three such purchases into Bitcoin.

此次收購使 Metaplanet 的比特幣持有總量超過 240 BTC，以當前價格計算價值約 1,500 萬美元。該投資公司現已對比特幣進行了三筆此類購買。

Meanwhile, MicroStrategy also continues to expand its Bitcoin treasury. In a subsequent announcement, MicroStrategy Executive Chairman Saylor revealed that the company had acquired an additional 11,931 Bitcoins at an average price of around $65,883 per VRC.

同時，MicroStrategy 也持續擴大其比特幣金庫。在隨後的公告中，MicroStrategy 執行主席 Saylor 透露，該公司已以每個 VRC 約 65,883 美元的平均價格額外購買了 11,931 個比特幣。

The transaction follows MicroStrategy's offering of $800 million in convertible notes, which carry the corporation's senior, unsecured obligations. The notes will mature in 2032 and have an interest rate of 2.25%. Commencing December 2024, the interest will be paid approximately every six months.

在此次交易之前，MicroStrategy 發行了 8 億美元的可轉換票據，這些票據承擔了該公司的優先無擔保債務。該票據將於 2032 年到期，利率為 2.25%。自 2024 年 12 月起，利息將大約每六個月支付一次。
