巴塞尔医疗集团的股票下跌约15％

5月16日，总部位于新加坡的巴塞尔说，这是在与机构投资者和高净值个人的财团进行高级讨论中

Shares of Basel Medical Group have dropped around 15% after the healthcare company announced plans to buy $1 billion in Bitcoin for its corporate treasury.

在医疗保健公司宣布计划为其公司财政部购买10亿美元的比特币后，巴塞尔医疗集团的股票下跌了约15％。

On Monday, Singapore-based Basel said it was “in advanced discussions with a consortium of institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals … to acquire a US$1 billion BTC through an innovative share-swap arrangement.”

周一，总部位于新加坡的巴塞尔（Basel）表示，“在与机构投资者和高净值个人的财团进行了高级讨论中……通过创新的股票交易安排获得了10亿美元的BTC。”

The company said the benefits of its planned purchase would include creating “one of the strongest balance sheets among Asia-focused healthcare providers” and providing “unmatched financial flexibility for mergers and acquisitions.” It would also help Basel “[e]stablish a diversified asset base to weather market volatility.’

该公司表示，其计划购买的好处将包括创建“以亚洲为中心的医疗保健提供者中最强大的资产负债表之一”，并提供“为合并和收购提供无与伦比的财务灵活性”。这也将帮助巴塞尔“ [E]将多元化的资产基础稳定在天气市场的波动中。”

But it seems shareholders weren's sold. Basel's stock, BMGL, has since dropped around 15% on the announcement, according to data from Google Finance.

但似乎股东卖了。根据Google Finance的数据，巴塞尔的股票BMGL在公告中下降了约15％。

Strive to become Bitcoin treasury company

努力成为比特币国库公司

The company announced in April that it had acquired a peer healthcare provider, Bethesda Medical, for an undisclosed sum. The deal marked “the beginning of Basel Medical Group’s expansion strategy in Singapore and the broader Southeast Asian healthcare market.”

该公司于4月宣布，已收购了一家同伴医疗保健提供者贝塞斯达·医疗公司（Bethesda Medical）的款项。该交易标志着“巴塞尔医学集团在新加坡和更广泛的东南亚医疗市场的扩张策略的开始。”

Basel's management team expects that accumulating Bitcoin will aid in these plans. "Our expanded balance sheet will allow us to move quickly on strategic opportunities as we build a premier healthcare platform across high-growth Asian markets," Darren Chhoa, Basel's CEO, said in a statement.

巴塞尔的管理团队预计，积累比特币将有助于这些计划。巴塞尔首席执行官达伦·乔亚（Darren Chhoa）在一份声明中说：“我们扩大的资产负债表将使我们能够迅速发展战略机遇，因为我们在高增长的亚洲市场上建立了高级医疗平台。”

This isn't the first time company shareholders have punished it for announcing plans to build a Bitcoin treasury.

这不是公司股东第一次为宣布建造比特币财政部的计划而受到惩罚。

Earlier this year, GameStop's (NYSE:GME) announced plans to integrate Bitcoin into its treasury, though it did not disclose the size of the investment.

今年早些时候，GameStop（NYSE：GME）宣布了计划将比特币整合到财政部的计划，尽管它没有透露投资的规模。

However, the news came quickly after the company reported a wider-than-expected net loss in the first quarter of 2024, with a total of $109 million in losses.

但是，该消息很快就发布了该公司在2024年第一季度报告的净亏损比预期的净亏损更大，总损失总额为1.09亿美元。

Following the announcement, GameStop's stock price plummeted, wiping roughly $3 billion from the company's market capitalization during a single trading day in March as investors questioned the videogame retailer's plans to stockpile Bitcoin.

宣布这一消息后，GameStop的股价暴跌，在3月份的一次交易日内，公司的市值大约从公司的市值中删除了大约30亿美元，因为投资者质疑电子游戏零售商储备比特币的计划。

"There are question marks with GameStop's model. If bitcoin is going to be the pivot, where does that leave everything else?" Bret Kenwell, US investment analyst at eToro, told Reuters.

“ GameStop的模型有一个问号。如果比特币将成为枢纽，那留在哪里？”埃托罗（Etoro）的美国投资分析师布雷特·肯威尔（Bret Kenwell）告诉路透社。

As of Monday, corporate treasuries collectively hold around $80 billion worth of Bitcoin, according to data from BitcoinTreasuries.NET.

截至周一，根据BitCoinReasuries.net的数据，公司国债共同持有价值约800亿美元的比特币。

Bitcoin can "potentially be a valuable hedge against growing fiscal deficits, currency debasement, and geopolitical risks" for corporations, asset manager Fidelity Digital Assets said in a 2024 report.

资产经理Fidelity Digital Assets在2024年的一份报告中说，比特币可能“有可能成为越来越多的财政缺陷，货币贬值和地缘政治风险的宝贵对冲”。
