软银在儿子昂贵的比特币下注3年后返回加密货币

历史可能不会重复，但通常会押韵，尤其是在市场中。软银可能就是这种情况，这家日本投资强国现在退后一步

History may not repeat, but it often rhymes, especially in markets. And that might be the case for SoftBank (9984.T), the Japanese investment powerhouse now stepping back into the crypto arena years after a painful $130 million loss on bitcoin by its founder, Masayoshi Son.

历史可能不会重复，但通常会押韵，尤其是在市场中。对于软银（9984.T）来说，可能就是这种情况，这家日本投资强国现在几年后重新回到加密赛竞技场，此前其创始人Masayoshi Son损失了1.3亿美元的比特币损失。

SoftBank has joined forces with crypto players Tether, Bitfinex, and Cantor Fitzgerald to back Twenty One Capital, a new investment firm focused on Bitcoin, reports.

据报道，软银已与加密货币玩家束缚，比特菲内克斯（Bitfinex）和坎托·菲茨杰拉德（Cantor Fitzgerald）联手二十一首资本，这是一家专注于比特币的新投资公司。

The move signals renewed interest in crypto from the $308.7 billion asset manager, even as questions linger over whether the group has learned from its past missteps.

此举表明，即使对该集团是否从过去的失误中学到的问题，也从3087亿美元的资产经理中重新获得了对加密货币的兴趣。

Masayoshi Son’s Costly Bitcoin Bet

Masayoshi儿子的昂贵比特币押注

SoftBank’s previous brush with Bitcoin was widely discussed. Masayoshi Son, the billionaire founder of SoftBank, reportedly made a personal investment in bitcoin during the 2017 boom, just as the cryptocurrency peaked.

软银以前使用比特币的刷子进行了广泛讨论。据报道，软银亿万富翁创始人Masayoshi儿子在2017年繁荣时期对比特币进行了个人投资，就像加密货币达到顶峰一样。

Son bought bitcoin at a high price and later sold it at an even lower price, personally incurring a loss of $130 million, according to ForexLive, which cites Dow Jones.

据《 Forexlive》报道，儿子以高价购买了比特币，后来以更低的价格出售，个人损失了1.3亿美元。

But as the market crashed in early 2018, he exited, ultimately suffering a $130 million loss. However, if he had held on, his position would have multiplied significantly; bitcoin now trades above $90,000.

但是随着市场在2018年初崩溃时，他退出了，最终亏损了1.3亿美元。但是，如果他坚持下去，他的职位将大大乘以。现在，比特币的交易超过$ 90,000。

That backdrop makes SoftBank’s new crypto involvement especially noteworthy. Unlike Son’s solo gamble, the current move is part of a collaborative institutional venture, a factor some believe could alter the outcome.

这种背景使软银的新加密参与特别值得注意。与儿子的独奏赌博不同，目前的举动是合作机构企业的一部分，有些人认为这可能会改变结果。

SoftBank’s re-entry into crypto also comes amid broader shifts in the group’s investment strategy. Earlier this year, Open AI announced an up to $40 billion funding round being led by SoftBank Group, which would value the AI firm at $300 million. The project includes Oracle and OpenAI, with SoftBank a major contributor.

软银的重新进入加密货币也在集团的投资策略发生了更大的转变之中。今年早些时候，Open AI宣布由软银集团（Softbank Group）领导的最高400亿美元的资金回合，该公司将这家AI公司的资金为3亿美元。该项目包括Oracle和Openai，软银是主要贡献者。

AI Ambitions and a Broader Investment

人工智能野心和更广泛的投资

At the time of publication, Bitcoin trades for $93,445, showing nearly 10% price increase in the past week. The total crypto market cap is currently at $2.92 trillion.

在出版时，比特币以93,445美元的价格进行交易，在过去一周的价格上涨了近10％。目前，加密货币市值为2.92万亿美元。

This new initiative suggests a more calculated approach from SoftBank. Rather than a personal bet by its founder, this time it’s a multi-firm effort integrated into a broader financial strategy. Nonetheless, given the past experiences, market watchers remain cautious.

这项新倡议提出了一种更加计算的软银方法。这次不是其创始人的个人赌注，而是一项多公司的努力，融入了更广泛的财务策略中。尽管如此，鉴于过去的经验，市场观察家仍然谨慎。

SoftBank’s move could indicate a broader institutional acceptance of bitcoin. The stakes are higher, the environment is more mature, and the partners are more experienced.

软银的举动可能表明比特币的机构接受。赌注更高，环境更加成熟，合作伙伴更有经验。
