據報導，美國最大的數字資產交易所的首席執行官說，Coinbase探索了將其大部分現金儲備投資於比特幣（BTC）。

Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong has revealed that the largest digital asset exchange in the US considered investing most of its cash reserve in Bitcoin (BTC).

Coinbase（NASDAQ：COIN）首席執行官Brian Armstrong透露，美國最大的數字資產交易所認為將其大部分現金儲備投資於比特幣（BTC）。

Speaking at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in San Antonio, Armstrong says that they previously discussed adopting the same crypto investment strategy taken by MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) CEO Michael Saylor.

阿姆斯特朗在聖安東尼奧的比特幣2024會議上發表講話時說，他們以前討論過採用了MicroStrategy（NASDAQ：MSTR）首席執行官Michael Saylor採取的同樣的加密投資策略。

“There were definitely moments over the last 12 years where we thought, man, should we put 80% of our balance sheet into crypto – into Bitcoin, specifically. We'd follow the strategy that Michael [Saylor] has taken at MicroStrategy.”

“在過去的12年中，肯定有一些時刻，我們認為，伙計，我們是否應該將資產負債表的80％放入加密貨幣 - 特別是比特幣。我們將遵循邁克爾[Saylor]在MicroStrategy採取的策略。”

But Coinbase eventually decided against the idea because it could jeopardize the company’s cash position as a startup and even potentially cause its demise.

但是Coinbase最終決定反對這個想法，因為它可能會危及公司作為一家創業公司的現金地位，甚至可能導致其滅亡。

“We made a conscious choice about risk. We're a startup; we didn't want to bankrupt the company.”

“我們對風險做出了有意識的選擇。我們是一家初創公司；我們不想破產公司。”

Coinbase CFO Alesia Haas supports the move, explaining that the company doesn't want to appear as though it’s stockpiling Bitcoin in competition with its own customers.

Coinbase CFO Alesia Haas支持此舉，並解釋說，該公司不想在與自己的客戶競爭中看起來像庫存比特幣一樣。

“We didn't want to go out there and start buying up a huge portion of the Bitcoin float as if we're competing with our customers.”

“我們不想去那裡，開始購買大部分比特幣浮標，就好像我們正在與客戶競爭一樣。”

Coinbase abandoned its massive Bitcoin accumulation plan, but its latest shareholder letter shows that the firm spent $153 million in Q1 of this year to accumulate digital assets, mostly in Bitcoin. The company now holds $1.3 billion in crypto.

Coinbase放棄了大規模的比特幣積累計劃，但其最新股東的信件表明，該公司在今年的第一季度花費了1.53億美元來積累數字資產，主要是在比特幣中。該公司現在持有13億美元的加密貨幣。

“Rest assured, we are not stopping there. We plan to continue to increase our capital over time to meet regulatory needs, support growing utility and further demonstrate our commitment to the industry.”

“放心，我們不會停在那裡。我們計劃隨著時間的流逝，繼續增加資本，以滿足監管需求，支持日益增長的公用事業，並進一步證明我們對行業的承諾。”

At time of writing, Bitcoin is trading for $103,935.
