美联储准备再次出售丝绸之路比特币？

美联储再次转移他们的比特币储备。 Arkham Intelligence 的区块链数据显示，一个被标记为属于美国国务院的钱包

A crypto wallet belonging to the U.S. government transferred roughly $2 billion worth of confiscated Bitcoin (BTC) to a new unlabeled address on Monday.

周一，美国政府的一个加密钱包将价值约 20 亿美元的没收比特币 (BTC) 转移到一个新的未标记地址。

The address sent 19,800 BTC ($1.3 billion) and 10,000 BTC ($670 million) to two different wallets. Arkham said the 10,000 BTC stash was deposited to institutional custody or service.

该地址将 19,800 BTC（13 亿美元）和 10,000 BTC（6.7 亿美元）发送到两个不同的钱包。 Arkham 表示，这 10,000 枚 BTC 被存放在机构托管或服务机构。

The roughly 28,000 BTC, valued at more than $2 billion, is tied to funds the DOJ previously seized from the now-defunct dark web marketplace Silk Road. In late 2023, a U.S. court finalized a mandate that formalized the forfeiture of 69,370 BTC and other crypto linked to the Silk Road.

这大约 28,000 比特币的价值超过 20 亿美元，与司法部之前从现已不复存在的暗网市场 Silk Road 中扣押的资金相关。 2023 年末，美国法院最终确定了一项强制令，正式没收 69,370 比特币和其他与丝绸之路相关的加密货币。

The latest transfer spooked investors, although it’s unclear whether the United States intends to sell today’s transferred BTC. The BTC price plummeted below $67,000 after inching toward the $70,000 mark earlier in the day. Bitcoin had slightly rebounded to $67,284 at press time, down 1.1% over the past 24 hours. The alpha crypto is still below its 2021 all-time high of $69,044.

尽管目前尚不清楚美国是否打算出售今天转移的比特币，但最新的转移还是吓坏了投资者。 BTC 价格在当天早些时候小幅逼近 70,000 美元大关后暴跌至 67,000 美元以下。截至发稿时，比特币小幅反弹至 67,284 美元，过去 24 小时下跌 1.1%。阿尔法加密货币仍低于 2021 年的历史高点 69,044 美元。

Silk Road, which went bust over 10 years ago, allowed users to purchase and sell illegal goods, including weapons, narcotics, and stolen credit card information. U.S. authorities arrested its creator, Ross Ulbricht, in 2013. He is currently serving two life sentences without the possibility of parole.

十多年前破产的丝绸之路允许用户购买和出售非法商品，包括武器、毒品和被盗的信用卡信息。美国当局于 2013 年逮捕了其创建者罗斯·乌布利希 (Ross Ulbricht)。他目前正在服两个无期徒刑，不得假释。

BTC As A Strategic Reserve Asset For US

比特币作为美国的战略储备资产

The U.S. government’s BTC movement comes just two days after Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump told the audience at Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville, Tennesse, that he would create a national “strategic Bitcoin stockpile” if he returned to the Oval Office. As part of that proposal, Trump indicated that the government would no longer sell any confiscated crypto.

就在美国政府发起比特币运动的两天前，共和党总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普在田纳西州纳什维尔举行的比特币 2024 大会上向观众表示，如果他回到椭圆形办公室，他将创建一个全国性的“战略比特币储备”。作为该提案的一部分，特朗普表示政府将不再出售任何没收的加密货币。

The 78-year-old politician also repeated his promise to commute the sentence of Silk Road’s Ulbricht if reelected president.

这位78岁的政治家还重申，如果连任总统，将为丝绸之路组织的乌布利希减刑。

According to Arkham, the U.S. government was sitting on a $12 billion BTC fortune before Monday’s transfer — making it one of the single biggest Bitcoin owners in the world after Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy.

根据 Arkham 的说法，在周一的转移之前，美国政府坐拥 120 亿美元的 BTC 财富，使其成为继 Michael Saylor 的 MicroStrategy 之后世界上最大的比特币所有者之一。
