特朗普媒體和技術集團（TMTG）計劃籌集$ 3B購買加密貨幣

這一籌款舉動表明，由特朗普家族控制的公司更深入地推動了數字資產，這些公司與現任美國總統政府密切相關。

Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), the company behind Truth Social, is planning to raise $3 billion to buy cryptocurrencies, sources told Reuters.

消息人士告訴路透社，Trump Media＆Technology Group（TMTG）計劃籌集30億美元購買加密貨幣。

The move by the Trump family firm signals a deeper push into digital assets. It comes amid reports of Trump’s close ties to the U.S. presidential administration and his family members’ involvement in crypto ventures.

特朗普家族公司的舉動向數字資產提出了更深入的推動。這是關於特朗普與美國總統政府及其家人參與Crypto Ventures的密切聯繫的報導。

TMTG plans to raise $2 billion through new equity and another $1 billion via a convertible bond, according to six individuals familiar with the matter. The announcement could be made as early as this week at a major crypto event in Las Vegas, three sources said.

據六個熟悉此事的人說，TMTG計劃通過新的股票通過新的股票籌集20億美元，再通過可轉換債券籌集10億美元。三名消息人士稱，該消息可能早在本週在拉斯維加斯舉行的一次重大加密賽事中發表。

Donald Trump Jr, Eric Trump, Vice-President JD Vance, and Trump’s crypto advisor David Sachs are expected to attend the conference.

唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump Jr），埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump），副總裁JD Vance和特朗普的加密顧問戴維·薩克斯（David Sachs）有望參加會議。

The company’s strategy closely resembles that of MicroStrategy, which has become a major corporate Bitcoin holder through equity and debt offerings to invest in digital assets.

該公司的戰略與MicroStrategy的戰略非常相似，該戰略已通過股權和債務投資以投資數字資產而成為主要公司比特幣持有人。

TMTG’s stock closed last Friday at $25.72, giving it a market capitalization close to $6 billion. The capital raise is expected to occur on “at-the-market” terms, meaning shares will be sold at or near their current trading price.

TMTG的股票上週五收盤價為25.72美元，使其市值接近60億美元。預計將以“在市場”條款上進行資本加薪，這意味著股票將以當前的交易價格出售。

The move follows recent activity from Trump-linked businesses that support digital assets, including memecoins, NFT trading cards, crypto mining, and now a new exchange-traded fund (ETF) focused on cryptocurrency.

此舉是在與特朗普有聯繫的企業的最新活動之後，這些企業支持數字資產，包括Memecoins，NFT交易卡，加密貨幣採礦以及現在專注於加密貨幣的新型交易所交易基金（ETF）。

Last week, Donald Trump hosted a private event at his Washington-area resort for investors in his TRUMP-themed memecoin.

上週，唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在其特朗普主題的紀念品中為投資者舉辦了一場私人活動。

TMTG is also working with Crypto.com to launch its crypto ETF, with the exchange assisting in managing digital assets and related securities within the fund. Two firms, ClearStreet and BTIG, are expected to help underwrite the upcoming capital raise, two sources said.

TMTG還與Crypto.com合作啟動其加密ETF，交易所有助於管理基金內的數字資產和相關證券。兩位消息人士稱，兩家公司有望幫助承銷即將到來的資本籌集。

A similar deal was recently announced by a blank cheque company led by Brandon Lutnick. That $3.6 billion venture aims to build a Bitcoin buying entity in collaboration with Tether and SoftBank.

布蘭登·盧特尼克（Brandon Lutnick）領導的一家空白支票公司最近宣布了類似的交易。這筆36億美元的冒險旨在與Tether和Softbank合作建立一個比特幣購買實體。

Fundraising efforts have sparked fresh concerns about ethics and legality. Some critics argue that close financial involvement in cryptocurrency could present conflicts of interest, given Trump’s position as U.S. president.

籌款活動引發了人們對道德和合法性的新擔憂。一些批評家認為，考慮到特朗普作為美國總統的地位，對加密貨幣的密切財務參與可能會帶來利益衝突。

One recent event saw Trump reportedly wearing the presidential seal during a private crypto dinner. The White House said it was a personal event, but wearing the seal at a non-official event could breach federal law, which carries a penalty of up to six months in jail.

據報導，最近的一項事件使特朗普在私人加密晚宴上戴著總統印章。白宮說這是一個個人活動，但是在非官方活動中戴印章可能會違反聯邦法律，該法律最高可判處六個月的監禁。

Congresswoman Maxine Waters has also introduced a new bill titled the “Stop TRUMP in Crypto Act.” The proposed legislation aims to bar U.S. officials, including the president, from trading or promoting cryptocurrencies while in office.

國會女議員麥克西恩·沃特斯（Maxine Waters）還提出了一項名為“停止特朗普在加密法案”的新法案。擬議的立法旨在禁止包括總統在內的美國官員在任職期間進行交易或促進加密貨幣。

Movement Labs, which is linked to World Liberty Financial, another Trump-connected firm, is also under scrutiny amid allegations of unfair deals with early investors.

與另一家與特朗普聯繫的公司世界自由金融有關的運動實驗室在與早期投資者的不公平交易指控中也受到了審查。
