Stablecoin庞然大物Tether代表二十一首资本进行了大量新的比特币购买，迅速推动了与Cantor Equity Partners合并的SPAC。

According to a recent SEC filing, Tether scooped up 4,812 BTC on May 9 at an average price of $95,319. The purchase price was disclosed in a Form 4 filing, which also stated that the entire holding was sold on the same day.

根据最近的SEC文件，Tether于5月9日以95,319美元的平均价格抢购了4,812 BTC。购买价格以4档案披露，该文件还指出，整个持股是在同一天出售的。

The bulk purchase, executed at the height of Bitcoin’s recent bull run, signals substantial confidence from Tether in Twenty One’s future endeavors.

在比特币最近的公牛跑步高峰时执行的大量购买表明，Tether对二十个未来的努力充满了信心。

Following the purchase, Twenty One’s BTC reserves are poised to swell to 36,312, making it the third-largest institutional Bitcoin holder.

To date, Tether has announced plans to inject 23,950 BTC, SoftBank will contribute 10,500 BTC, and Bitfinex will add 7,000 BTC. These BTC holdings will be converted into equity at a price of $10 per share.

Earlier this year, reports emerged that Twenty One was in the final stages of securing a merger with Cantor.

今年早些时候，有报道称，二十一处正处于确保与康托尔合并的最后阶段。

The SPAC is planning to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “XXI.”

该SPAC计划在股票“ XXI”下在纽约证券交易所进行交易。

The merger, which is still pending regulatory approval, will see Cantor contribute its entire business to the combination.

该合并仍在等待的监管批准中，将使Cantor贡献其整个业务。

Cantor is a well-known financial services firm that provides a diverse range of products and services, including investment banking, treasury management, and brokerage services. The firm is also a significant player in the SPAC market, having sponsored several successful SPACs in recent years.

Cantor是一家著名的金融服务公司，可提供各种产品和服务，包括投资银行，财政部管理和经纪服务。该公司在SPAC市场上也是重要的参与者，近年来赞助了几个成功的SPAC。

After striking a deal with Cantor to go public last year, Twenty advised investors to buy its shares at a price of $25 each.

去年与Cantor达成协议公开交易后，二十名建议投资者以每股25美元的价格购买其股票。

However, after several price increases, the final share price was set at $20, in anticipation of a smaller-than-expected SPAC.

但是，在价格上涨几次后，最终股价定为20美元，预期的是超过预期的SPAC。

The SPAC’s structure is unique in that it will not generate any revenue or earnings. Instead, it will focus solely on accumulating Bitcoin and maximizing shareholder returns through cryptocurrency services.

SPAC的结构是独一无二的，因为它不会产生任何收入或收益。取而代之的是，它将仅专注于通过加密货币服务累积比特币和最大化股东回报。

This strategy is designed to appeal to investors who are seeking high-yielding investments in the rapidly growing cryptocurrency market.

该策略旨在吸引在快速增长的加密货币市场中寻求高收益投资的投资者。

Twenty’s SPAC is also noteworthy for its use of preferred shares to fund its Bitcoin purchases.

二十个SPAC也值得注意，因为它使用首选股票来资助其比特币购买。

Typically, SPACs issue common shares to raise capital, but Twenty is taking a different approach by structuring a Series A preferred stock offering to investors.

通常，SPAC会发行普通股来筹集资金，但是二十种方法是通过为投资者提供一系列优先股的股票来采取不同的方法。

This strategy is significant because it could factor into the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan status of the SPAC.

该策略很重要，因为它可以将SPAC的薪水保护计划（PPP）贷款状态置于薪水保护计划（PPP）状态。

To qualify for PPP loans, a company must have less than 500 employees and be able to demonstrate that it has been materially affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

要获得PPP贷款的资格，一家公司必须拥有少于500名员工，并且能够证明其已受到冠状病毒大流行的实质影响。

However, the structure of the SPAC could present a challenge in meeting these criteria.

但是，SPAC的结构可能会在满足这些标准方面提出挑战。

Despite striking a deal with Cantor in March, shares of the investment firm began surging in May.

尽管三月份与康托尔达成了达成协议，但该投资公司的股票于5月开始激增。

The move came after rumors of a pending merger with Twenty One began circulating, encircling a report from the New York Post that the SPAC was planning to invest $600 million into Binance.

此举是在有传言称与二十一人开始流传的谣言之后，环绕着《纽约邮报》的一份报告称，SPAC计划将6亿美元投资给二手股。

It’s important to note that neither Binance nor Twenty One responded to requests for comment regarding the rumor.

重要的是要注意，binance and二十一家都没有回应有关谣言的评论请求。

Cantor’s stock price had already been climbing rapidly since the start of the year, fueled by a strong performance by its core businesses and optimism about the SPAC market.

自今年年初以来，Cantor的股价就已经迅速上涨，这是由于其核心业务的强劲表现和对SPAC市场的乐观态度。

Shares of Cantor closed on Monday at $29.84. But in May, the stock peaked at $59.73, before sliding as low as $16.33.

周一Cantor的股价售价为29.84美元。但是在5月，股票的峰值达到59.73美元，然后低至16.33美元。

After Tether’s recent purchase on behalf of Twenty One was announced, shares of Cantor rose by 5.2% in extended trading.

在Tether代表Tether代表二十一家购买后，Cantor Rose的股票在扩展交易中提高了5.2％。

The SPAC is still in the process of raising the remaining funds needed to complete its merger with Cantor.

该SPAC仍在筹集与Cantor合并所需的剩余资金。

According to a recent Form 8K filing, the firm has already secured $585 million, which includes $385 million in debt from Triple Point Venture Growth (TPVG).

根据最近的8K备案表格，该公司已经获得了5.85亿美元，其中包括3.85亿美元的债务，来自Triple Point Venture增长（TPVG）。

Among the investors who have already contributed to the SPAC is Bitfinex, which announced in December that it would be investing $700 million.

在已经为SPAC贡献的投资者中，Bitfinex在12月宣布将投资7亿美元。

The contribution from Bitfinex, the parent company of Tether, will see the cryptocurrency exchange transfer 7,000 BTC to Twenty One in exchange for a 10% stake in the SPAC.

Tether的母公司Bitfinex的贡献将使加密货币交易所转移7,000 BTC到Two -Twict，以换取SPAC 10％的股份。

At the time of the investment, Bitfinex CEO Wolfgang Pernhawi stated that the firm was a strong believer in Twenty One’s vision and was excited to be a part of the company’s journey.

在投资时，Bitfinex首席执行官Wolfgang Pernhawi表示，该公司坚信二十个人的愿景，并很高兴能成为公司旅程的一部分。

In total, Twenty One is aiming to raise around $1 billion to invest in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency services.

总共有21个目标是筹集约10亿美元，以投资比特币和其他加密货币服务。
