特朗普媒體和技術集團籌集了$ 2.5B，以積累“比特幣國庫”

特朗普媒體和技術集團是一家公開交易的公司，美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）和他的家族擁有多數股份，已籌集了25億美元，積累了“比特幣財政部”。

Trump Media and Technology Group, a majority-owned entity of former president Donald Trump and his family, has secured an investment of $2.5 billion, which the company plans to use to add bitcoin to its treasury.

特朗普媒體和技術集團是前總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）及其家人的多數股權實體，已獲得25億美元的投資，該公司計劃將其用於將比特幣增加到其財政部。

The move places TMTG in direct competition with a growing category of so-called bitcoin accumulation stocks, which act as a sort of proxy for investors who want to gain exposure to bitcoin without having to personally handle any crypto. In theory, as the price of bitcoin rises and falls, so should the stock price of the companies with large bitcoin treasuries.

此舉使TMTG與越來越多的所謂比特幣積累庫存直接競爭，這些股票是希望獲得比特幣無需親自處理任何加密貨幣的投資者的一種代理。從理論上講，隨著比特幣的價格上漲和下跌的價格，擁有大量比特幣國庫的公司的股票價格也是如此。

According to a report by the Financial Times, TMTG initially denied any plans to accumulate bitcoin.

根據《金融時報》的一份報告，TMTG最初否認了積累比特幣的任何計劃。

“The Financial Times has dumb writers listening to even dumber sources,” TMTG said on Monday.

TMTG週一說：“《金融時報》讓愚蠢的作者聽著甚至啞巴的來源。”

But the company appears to have since changed its tune.

但是該公司似乎改變了其音調。

On Tuesday, TMTG confirmed in a press release that it has agreed to sell a $1.5 billion equity interest in the company and take on a $1 billion term loan. The company plans to use the proceeds to add "a substantial portion" of bitcoin to its balance sheet.

週二，TMTG在新聞稿中確認，已同意在公司中出售15億美元的股權，並獲得10億美元的定期貸款。該公司計劃使用收益將比特幣的“大部分”添加到其資產負債表中。

“We view bitcoin as an apex instrument of financial freedom, and now Trump Media will hold cryptocurrency as a crucial part of its assets,” said TMTG CEO Devin Nunes in a statement. “It's a big step forward in the company's plans to evolve into a holding company by acquiring additional profit-generating, crown jewel assets consistent with America First principles.”

TMTG首席執行官Devin Nunes在一份聲明中說：“我們將比特幣視為財務自由的最高工具，現在特朗普媒體將把加密貨幣視為其資產的關鍵部分。” “這是該公司計劃發展到與美國第一原則一致的額外利潤，皇冠上的珠寶資產來發展成為控股公司的重要一步。”

TMTG’s embrace of crypto is a small part of a more elaborate picture: Over the past year, Trump and his family have moved into almost every segment of the crypto market, despite a chorus of complaints relating to alleged abuses of office and conflicts of interest.

TMTG對加密貨幣的擁抱是更精緻的圖片的一小部分：在過去的一年中，儘管涉嫌與涉嫌濫用公職和利益衝突有關的抱怨，但特朗普和他的家人幾乎進入了加密貨幣市場的每個部分。

In January, in the days leading up to the inauguration, Trump and his wife Melania both issued their own crypto coins, adding billions of dollars to their paper net worth. That same month, TMTG announced the launch of Truth.Fi, its new fintech division, which partnered shortly thereafter with crypto exchange Crypto.com to offer crypto-related investment products to the public.

一月份，在就職典禮前的日子裡，特朗普和他的妻子梅拉尼亞（Melania）都發行了自己的加密硬幣，增加了數十億美元的紙質淨資產。同月，TMTG宣布了其新的金融科技部門Truth.fi的推出，此後不久與Crypto Exchange Crypto.com合作，向公眾提供與加密相關的投資產品。

The president’s sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., meanwhile, have promoted a separate crypto services company, World Liberty Financial, and recently established a bitcoin mining business, American Bitcoin.

同時，總統的兒子埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）和小唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump Jr.

The crypto ventures associated with the Trump family have collectively raised hundreds of millions of dollars, partly through direct sales of crypto coins to the investing public and partly through asset acquisitions in deals cut with business partners.

與特朗普家族相關的加密貨幣公司共同籌集了數億美元，部分是通過直接向公眾投資的加密硬幣銷售，部分是通過與商業合作夥伴削減的交易中的資產收購進行的。

“If you look back at some of Donald Trump’s ventures over time … he essentially brings the marketing and a built-in audience in return for a relatively large cut of the company,” says Austin Campbell, adjunct professor at NYU Stern School of Business and managing partner at crypto consultancy Zero Knowledge. “American Bitcoin is literally that playbook.”

紐約大學斯特恩·斯特恩商學院（NYU Stern Stern）商學院的兼職教授兼加密助理諮詢公司（Crypto Consultancy）的兼職教授奧斯汀·坎貝爾（Austin Campbell）說：“如果您回顧一下唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的一些冒險……他本質上將帶來營銷和內置的聽眾，以換取​​公司的相對較大的削減。” “美國比特幣實際上是那本劇本。”

In May, Eric Trump announced plans to take American Bitcoin public. Like TMTG, the company intends to accrue a large bitcoin treasury and turn itself into a bitcoin accumulation stock.

5月，埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）宣布了將美國比特幣公開公開的計劃。像TMTG一樣，該公司打算積累大型比特幣財政部，並將自己變成比特幣的積累庫存。

"Our vision for American Bitcoin is to create the most investable bitcoin accumulation platform in the market," he said when he announced the plan.

當他宣布該計劃時，他說：“我們對美國比特幣的願景是在市場上建立最可投資的比特幣積累平台。”
