Al Abraaj餐厅集团成为中东第一家在其资产负债表上持有比特币的上市公司

在海湾资本市场的分水岭中，Al Abraaj餐厅集团（作为Abraaj作为Bahrain Bourse上的交易）周三透露，它已将其公司财政部的一部分转移到了比特币中

In a move that could have huge implications for the future of cryptocurrency in the Middle East, the Bahraini food services operator, Al Abraaj Restaurants Group (trading on the Bahrain Bourse as ABRAAJ), has disclosed having transferred part of its corporate treasury into Bitcoin (BTC).

巴林食品服务运营商Al Abraaj餐厅集团（Al Abraaj Restaurants Group（Al Abraaj）集团（Bahrain Bourse）作为中东的加密货币可能对中东的加密货币的未来产生巨大影响（Abraaj），已将其公司的一部分转移到比特币（BTC）中。

This makes Al Abraaj the first publicly listed company in the Middle East to hold the cryptocurrency on its balance sheet.

这使Al Abraaj成为中东第一家公开上市的公司，在其资产负债表上持有加密货币。

Announced via a bourse statement in Arabic on Wednesday, the move sees New York–based merchant bank 10X Capital helping to structure and fund the initiative.

此举是通过阿拉伯语的一份阿拉伯语宣言宣布的，此举使基于纽约的商人银行10倍资本有助于构建和资助该倡议。

The two firms are also planning a separate $710 million vehicle for Nakamoto–which is launching out of Trump advisor and BTC Inc. CEO David Bailey’s firm–that they hope to list on Nasdaq later this year. It’s hoped the move will put the company, which is also planning to raise an additional $500 million in private capital, in a strong position to aggregate several companies' treasury units.

这两家公司还计划为Nakamoto提供单独的7.1亿美元汽车 - 该公司正在特朗普顾问和BTC Inc.首席执行官David Bailey的公司首席执行官戴维·贝利（David Bailey）的公司 - 希望今年晚些时候在纳斯达克列出。希望此举将使该公司计划筹集额外的5亿美元私人资本，以汇总几家公司的财政部。

The two firms said they will pursue additional capital raises so the restaurant chain can “increase the units of Bitcoin per share,” mirroring the playbook pioneered by MicroStrategy (Nasdaq: MSTR) in the United States and, more recently, by Japan’s Metaplanet (TSE: 3350).

两家公司表示，他们将追求额外的资金筹集，以便餐厅连锁店可以“增加每股比特币的单位”，这反映了由MicroStrategy（NASDAQ：MSTR）在美国以及最近由日本Metaplanet（TSE：3350）率先使用的剧本。

The move comes as several large companies are beginning to allocate a portion of their balance sheet to Bitcoin in a bid to hedge against inflation and diversify their investments.

此举是因为几家大型公司开始将资产负债表的一部分分配给比特币，以期对冲通货膨胀并使投资多样化。

While the size of Al Abraaj’s initial allocation was not disclosed, management signalled that further purchases are likely as it seeks to align treasury reserves with “a long-term, hard-cap monetary asset.”

尽管没有披露Al Abraaj的初始分配规模，但管理层表示可能会进一步购买，因为它试图将财政部储备与“长期，硬盘货币资产”保持一致。

"We are excited to announce that Al Abraaj has completed a historic first-time purchase of Bitcoin within its institutional treasury," said the company in a statement.

该公司在一份声明中说：“我们很高兴地宣布，Al Abraaj已经完成了在其机构财政部的历史性首次购买比特币。”

"This move makes Al Abraaj the first public company in the Middle East to hold Bitcoin on its balance sheet and signifies a watershed moment for Gulf capital markets.

“此举使Al Abraaj成为中东第一家在资产负债表上持有比特币的上市公司，并表示海湾资本市场的分水岭。

"As the leading food services operator in the region, we are constantly looking for new and innovative ways to enhance our business and deliver value to our shareholders. We believe that Bitcoin is a valuable addition to our treasury assets and will help us to achieve our long-term financial goals.

“作为该地区领先的食品服务运营商，我们一直在寻找新的和创新的方法来增强我们的业务并为股东带来价值。我们认为，比特币是我们财政资产的宝贵补充，并将帮助我们实现长期的财务目标。

"We are also mindful of our obligations to operate in accordance with Islamic financial mandates. We believe that this investment can be structured in a manner that is fully compliant with Sharia principles.

“我们还谨记根据伊斯兰财务授权运营的义务。我们认为，这项投资可以完全符合伊斯兰教义的原则。

The move could have huge implications for the future of cryptocurrency in the Middle East. It is hoped that the partnership will open up Bitcoin access to investors from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and beyond through the purchase of ABRAAJ shares on the Bahrain Bourse.

此举可能会对中东加密货币的未来产生巨大影响。希望该合作伙伴关系能够通过在巴林餐厅购买Abraaj股票，从而向来自沙特阿拉伯，科威特，卡塔尔，阿曼以及其他地区的投资者提供比特币访问权限。

The decision to place the 38-year-old restaurant group’s excess cash into Bitcoin puts it in rarefied company.

将这个38岁餐厅集团的超额现金放入比特币的决定将其置于稀有公司。

In the United States, MicroStrategy (Nasdaq: MSTR) and Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA) sparked global headlines when they began converting treasury reserves into BTC in 2024, and Tokyo-listed Metaplanet (TSE: 3350) adopted the same playbook this spring. Their stocks have been among 2024’s top performers, and Al Abraaj is betting the market will reward a similar conviction trade in the Gulf.

在美国，微观（NASDAQ：MSTR）和特斯拉（NASDAQ：TSLA）在2024年开始将财政部储备转换为BTC时引发了全球头条新闻，而东京上市的Metaplanet（TSE：3350）在本春季采用了同一剧本。他们的股票一直是2024年最佳绩效，Al Abraaj押注市场将奖励海湾类似的信念贸易。

"Bitcoin Treasury Co 🤝 Kingdom of Bahrain. LFGGGGGG," said David Bailey, a partner at 10X Capital and a vocal proponent of corporate BTC adoption, in a post on X.

“比特币财政部有巴林的王国。
