巴塞爾醫療集團的股票下跌約15％

5月16日，總部位於新加坡的巴塞爾說，這是在與機構投資者和高淨值個人的財團進行高級討論中

Shares of Basel Medical Group have dropped around 15% after the healthcare company announced plans to buy $1 billion in Bitcoin for its corporate treasury.

在醫療保健公司宣布計劃為其公司財政部購買10億美元的比特幣後，巴塞爾醫療集團的股票下跌了約15％。

On Monday, Singapore-based Basel said it was “in advanced discussions with a consortium of institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals … to acquire a US$1 billion BTC through an innovative share-swap arrangement.”

週一，總部位於新加坡的巴塞爾（Basel）表示，“在與機構投資者和高淨值個人的財團進行了高級討論中……通過創新的股票交易安排獲得了10億美元的BTC。”

The company said the benefits of its planned purchase would include creating “one of the strongest balance sheets among Asia-focused healthcare providers” and providing “unmatched financial flexibility for mergers and acquisitions.” It would also help Basel “[e]stablish a diversified asset base to weather market volatility.’

該公司表示，其計劃購買的好處將包括創建“以亞洲為中心的醫療保健提供者中最強大的資產負債表之一”，並提供“為合併和收購提供無與倫比的財務靈活性”。這也將幫助巴塞爾“ [E]將多元化的資產基礎穩定在天氣市場的波動中。”

But it seems shareholders weren's sold. Basel's stock, BMGL, has since dropped around 15% on the announcement, according to data from Google Finance.

但似乎股東賣了。根據Google Finance的數據，巴塞爾的股票BMGL在公告中下降了約15％。

Strive to become Bitcoin treasury company

努力成為比特幣國庫公司

The company announced in April that it had acquired a peer healthcare provider, Bethesda Medical, for an undisclosed sum. The deal marked “the beginning of Basel Medical Group’s expansion strategy in Singapore and the broader Southeast Asian healthcare market.”

該公司於4月宣布，已收購了一家同伴醫療保健提供者貝塞斯達·醫療公司（Bethesda Medical）的款項。該交易標誌著“巴塞爾醫學集團在新加坡和更廣泛的東南亞醫療市場的擴張策略的開始。”

Basel's management team expects that accumulating Bitcoin will aid in these plans. "Our expanded balance sheet will allow us to move quickly on strategic opportunities as we build a premier healthcare platform across high-growth Asian markets," Darren Chhoa, Basel's CEO, said in a statement.

巴塞爾的管理團隊預計，積累比特幣將有助於這些計劃。巴塞爾首席執行官達倫·喬亞（Darren Chhoa）在一份聲明中說：“我們擴大的資產負債表將使我們能夠迅速發展戰略機遇，因為我們在高增長的亞洲市場上建立了高級醫療平台。”

This isn't the first time company shareholders have punished it for announcing plans to build a Bitcoin treasury.

這不是公司股東第一次為宣佈建造比特幣財政部的計劃而受到懲罰。

Earlier this year, GameStop's (NYSE:GME) announced plans to integrate Bitcoin into its treasury, though it did not disclose the size of the investment.

今年早些時候，GameStop（NYSE：GME）宣布了計劃將比特幣整合到財政部的計劃，儘管它沒有透露投資的規模。

However, the news came quickly after the company reported a wider-than-expected net loss in the first quarter of 2024, with a total of $109 million in losses.

但是，該消息很快就發布了該公司在2024年第一季度報告的淨虧損比預期的淨虧損更大，總損失總額為1.09億美元。

Following the announcement, GameStop's stock price plummeted, wiping roughly $3 billion from the company's market capitalization during a single trading day in March as investors questioned the videogame retailer's plans to stockpile Bitcoin.

宣布這一消息後，GameStop的股價暴跌，在3月份的一次交易日內，公司的市值大約從公司的市值中刪除了大約30億美元，因為投資者質疑電子遊戲零售商儲備比特幣的計劃。

"There are question marks with GameStop's model. If bitcoin is going to be the pivot, where does that leave everything else?" Bret Kenwell, US investment analyst at eToro, told Reuters.

“ GameStop的模型有一個問號。如果比特幣將成為樞紐，那留在哪裡？”埃托羅（Etoro）的美國投資分析師布雷特·肯威爾（Bret Kenwell）告訴路透社。

As of Monday, corporate treasuries collectively hold around $80 billion worth of Bitcoin, according to data from BitcoinTreasuries.NET.

截至週一，根據BitCoinReasuries.net的數據，公司國債共同持有價值約800億美元的比特幣。

Bitcoin can "potentially be a valuable hedge against growing fiscal deficits, currency debasement, and geopolitical risks" for corporations, asset manager Fidelity Digital Assets said in a 2024 report.

資產經理Fidelity Digital Assets在2024年的一份報告中說，比特幣可能“有可能成為越來越多的財政缺陷，貨幣貶值和地緣政治風險的寶貴對沖”。
