比特大陆持有近 6 亿美元的比特币现金

比特大陆首次公开募股前投资者平台泄露的文件显示，截至 3 月 31 日，这家中国公司的资产负债表上持有超过 100 万枚比特币现金 (BCH)

Cryptocurrency mining giant Bitmain has put its money where its mouth is when it comes to bitcoin cash.

加密货币矿业巨头比特大陆在比特币现金方面已经言出必行。

Following the latter’s decision to pursue a divorce from the main BTC network due to irreconcilable differences over blockchain scaling, Bitmain announced last year that it was throwing its weight behind the cryptocurrency.

由于区块链扩容方面存在不可调和的分歧，后者决定寻求与主要 BTC 网络分离，随后比特大陆去年宣布将全力支持这种加密货币。

Now, leaked documents from Bitmain’s pre-IPO investor deck show that, as of March 31, the China-based firm was holding more than 1 million bitcoin cash (BCH) on its balance sheet.

现在，比特大陆首次公开募股前投资者平台泄露的文件显示，截至 3 月 31 日，这家中国公司的资产负债表上持有超过 100 万枚比特币现金 (BCH)。

At the present exchange rate, that stake is worth nearly $600 million — but down nearly $300 million from when the data in the investor deck was published.

按目前的汇率计算，该股份价值近 6 亿美元，但比投资者数据公布时减少了近 3 亿美元。

Perhaps more significantly, that stake represents more than 5 percent of the 17.3 million BCH currently in circulation and 12.5 percent of the 8.4 million BCH that have been moved since the Aug. 2017 hard fork.

也许更重要的是，该股份占目前流通的 1730 万个 BCH 的 5% 以上，占 2017 年 8 月硬分叉以来转移的 840 万个 BCH 的 12.5%。

While Bitmain’s BCH holdings have surely changed in the nearly five months since the latest data was published in the investor deck, the firm’s stake still appears to be substantial.

尽管自投资者平台上发布最新数据以来，比特大陆的 BCH 持股量在近五个月内确实发生了变化，但该公司的持股量似乎仍然很大。

Estimates Vary on Bitmain’s Current Bitcoin Cash Holdings

对比特大陆当前比特币现金持有量的估计有所不同

Estimates vary on how much bitcoin cash Bitmain is holding now, nearly five months after the latest data published in the investor deck. However, data from the bitcoin cash “rich list” indicates that the figure is between 664,000 and 1.33 million.

在投资者平台发布最新数据近五个月后，人们对比特大陆目前持有的比特币现金数量的估计各不相同。然而，比特币现金“富豪榜”的数据显示，这一数字在66.4万至133万之间。

Notably, Bitmain appears to be methodically liquidating its BTC holdings, even as it deepens its stake in bitcoin cash.

值得注意的是，比特大陆似乎正在有条不紊地清算其持有的比特币，尽管它加大了对比特币现金的持股。

At the end of March, Bitmain had about 22,000 bitcoins, down from more than 71,500 in Dec. 2016. While this does not necessarily mean that Bitmain is trading BTC directly for BCH, it does suggest that it is selling bitcoin to cover the expenses associated with its acquisition of BCH through other means, such as mining and ASIC sales.

截至 3 月底，比特大陆拥有约 22,000 枚比特币，低于 2016 年 12 月的 71,500 多枚。虽然这并不一定意味着比特大陆正在直接用 BTC 交易 BCH，但它确实表明它正在出售比特币以支付相关费用通过其他方式收购BCH，例如挖矿和ASIC销售。

BITMAIN holding 1M+ BCH is a very powerful statement that they have skin in the game and put their money where their mouth is. It’s a good and calculated move, and it’s not wise to underestimate them.

比特大陆持有 100 万+ BCH 是一个非常有力的声明，他们参与其中，言出必行。这是一个很好的、经过深思熟虑的举动，低估他们是不明智的。

Either way, this data suggests that, at least until recently and possibly including the present, Bitmain has been supporting bitcoin cash by eating the cost of its BCH-related operations and hodling the coin even amidst a steep market downturn.

不管怎样，这些数据表明，至少直到最近，甚至可能包括现在，比特大陆一直在通过消化 BCH 相关业务的成本并持有比特币现金来支持比特币现金，即使是在市场急剧低迷的情况下。

Even so, the bitcoin cash price has experienced a sharp decline throughout 2018, not only against the dollar but also against BTC.

即便如此，比特币现金的价格在 2018 年全年都经历了大幅下跌，不仅兑美元，兑 BTC 也是如此。

Since Jan. 1, BCH/BTC has dropped by approximately 50 percent, to 0.09 from 0.18. Given the low level of liquidity in the cryptocurrency market, it’s unlikely that Bitmain could liquidate its BCH holdings, even if it wanted to.

自 1 月 1 日以来，BCH/BTC 已下跌约 50%，从 0.18 跌至 0.09。鉴于加密货币市场的流动性水平较低，即使比特大陆愿意，也不太可能清算其持有的 BCH。

That’s particularly significant since, as CCN reported, Bitmain is gearing up to go public, potentially raising $18 billion in what could be one of the largest IPOs ever.

据 CCN 报道，这一点尤其重要，因为比特大陆正在准备上市，可能筹集 180 亿美元，这可能是有史以来规模最大的 IPO 之一。

If the firm raises that full amount, it could achieve a market cap of $50 billion or more.

如果该公司筹集到全额资金，其市值可能会达到 500 亿美元或更多。

Bitmain reportedly expects to rake in more than $10 billion in revenue during 2018, up from $2.5 billion last year. However, if the current bear market does not turn a corner before the company files to go public, its BCH stake could begin to weigh heavily on its profit figures and possibly turn off some investors.

据报道，比特大陆预计 2018 年收入将超过 100 亿美元，高于去年的 25 亿美元。然而，如果当前的熊市在该公司申请上市之前没有扭转，其持有的 BCH 股份可能会开始严重影响其利润数据，并可能让一些投资者望而却步。
