（路透社） - 特朗普媒體和技術集團將籌集約25億美元投資比特幣

Trump Media & Technology Group Inc (NASDAQ:TRUM) will invest about $2.5 billion in bitcoin as part of a broader revenue diversification plan, the U.S. President Donald Trump's social media company said on Tuesday.

美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的社交媒體公司週二表示，特朗普媒體與技術集團（NASDAQ：TRUM）將在比特幣上投資約25億美元，作為更廣泛的收入多元化計劃的一部分。

The company will raise $1.5 billion in stock at its last closing price and $1 billion in convertible notes priced at a 35% premium, it added.

該公司補充說，該公司將以最後一次收盤價籌集15億美元的股票，並以35％的保費為10億美元的可轉換票據。

The bitcoin will be held on Trump Media's balance sheet alongside existing cash and short-term investments, which totaled $759 million as of the end of the first quarter. Crypto platforms Anchorage Digital (NASDAQ:ADPL) and Crypto.com will provide custody for the bitcoin holdings.

比特幣將在特朗普媒體的資產負債表上與現有現金和短期投資一起舉行，截至第一季度末，總計7.59億美元。加密平台錨定數字（NASDAQ：ADPL）和Crypto.com將為比特幣控股提供監護權。

"We view bitcoin as an apex instrument of financial freedom," said Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes, describing the move as a "huge step forward" in the company's plan to acquire "crown jewel assets consistent with America First principles."

特朗普媒體首席執行官德文·納尼斯（Devin Nunes）說：“我們將比特幣視為財務自由的最高工具。”他將此舉描述為公司在公司收購與美國第一原則一致的“ Crown Jewel資產”計劃中的“巨大一步”。

The Trump family, who are no strangers to investing in real estate and hospitality ventures, have been making several inroads into the crypto sector.

特朗普家族對投資房地產和酒店企業並不陌生，他們一直在加密領域進行了幾項侵害。

Those other crypto ventures include Trump NFTs, which sold out quickly earlier this year, a meme coin called MAGAcoin, and a stake in a newly formed bitcoin producer called American Bitcoin. Trump Media is also planning to launch World Liberty Financial, a decentralized crypto platform that will offer a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar.

這些其他加密貨幣包括今年早些時候迅速售罄的特朗普NFT，一個名為Magacoin的模因硬幣，以及新成立的比特幣生產商American Bitcoin的股份。特朗普媒體還計劃推出世界自由金融（World Liberty Financial），這是一個分散的加密平台，它將提供與美元掛鉤的穩定幣。

However, the Trump family's crypto push has also attracted scrutiny from lawmakers.
