Tether 净利润达 52 亿美元，对比特币来说是一个积极的发展

最大的稳定币发行商 Tether 近日披露，今年上半年净利润创下历史新高。这对于比特币来说无疑是利好

The largest stablecoin issuer, Tether, has recently disclosed a record net profit for the first half of this year. This is undoubtedly bullish for Bitcoin, considering the company’s commitment to accumulating the flagship crypto with some of these profits.

最大的稳定币发行商Tether最近披露了今年上半年创纪录的净利润。考虑到该公司致力于利用其中一些利润来积累旗舰加密货币，这对比特币来说无疑是利多的。

According to the Q2 Attestation Report, Tether recorded a net operating profit of $5.2 billion for the first half of the year. This comes after the company recorded a net profit of $1.3 billion in Q2 of this year. This record-breaking net profit is great news for Bitcoin, considering that some of these profits will be used to buy BTC.

根据第二季度鉴证报告，Tether 上半年净利润为 52 亿美元。此前，该公司今年第二季度净利润为 13 亿美元。这一破纪录的净利润对于比特币来说是个好消息，考虑到其中一些利润将用于购买比特币。

As previously reported, the stablecoin issuer began buying Bitcoin in September 2022 and has been adding to its BTC holdings every quarter. In May 2023, the company took a further step in strengthening its Bitcoin reserves by allocating 15% of its net realized profit to purchasing more Bitcoin.

正如之前报道的那样，稳定币发行人于 2022 年 9 月开始购买比特币，并且每个季度都在增加其比特币持有量。 2023 年 5 月，该公司进一步加强比特币储备，将其实现净利润的 15% 用于购买更多比特币。

At the time, Tether already held almost $1.5 billion in BTC. Since then, its Bitcoin reserve has grown exponentially, with data from the on-chain analytics platform Arkham Intelligence showing that the USDT issuer now holds 75,354 BTC ($4.8 billion).

当时，Tether 已经持有近 15 亿美元的 BTC。从那时起，其比特币储备呈指数级增长，链上分析平台 Arkham Intelligence 的数据显示，USDT 发行人目前持有 75,354 BTC（48 亿美元）。

Data from Arkham also shows that Tether’s last Bitcoin purchase came in March when they bought 8,888 BTC for $626 million. However, the stablecoin issuer recently disclosed that its investment arm bought Bitcoin in Q2 of this year.

Arkham 的数据还显示，Tether 最后一次购买比特币是在 3 月份，当时他们以 6.26 亿美元的价格购买了 8,888 枚比特币。然而，稳定币发行人最近透露，其投资部门在今年第二季度购买了比特币。

But, further information on whether or not the investment arm will be handling their BTC purchases from now on was not provided by Tether’s CEO Paolo Ardoino in a recent X (formerly Twitter) post.

但是，Tether 首席执行官 Paolo Ardoino 在最近的 X（前 Twitter）帖子中没有提供有关该投资部门是否将从现在开始处理 BTC 购买的更多信息。

It is also worth mentioning that Tether’s involvement with Bitcoin goes beyond just purchasing the flagship crypto. The stablecoin issuer has also taken steps to become a major Bitcoin miner.

还值得一提的是，Tether 对比特币的参与不仅仅是购买旗舰加密货币。这家稳定币发行人也已采取措施成为主要的比特币矿商。

Last year, Ardoino revealed plans to build Bitcoin mines in Uruguay, Paraguay, and El Salvador while acquiring stakes in other Bitcoin mining companies.

去年，Ardoino 透露计划在乌拉圭、巴拉圭和萨尔瓦多建造比特币矿场，同时收购其他比特币矿业公司的股份。

Bitcoin On A Company’s Balance Sheet

公司资产负债表上的比特币

As more companies begin to add Bitcoin to their balance sheets, it is becoming increasingly clear that this ‘Bitcoin Strategy’ can have a major impact on a company’s performance.

随着越来越多的公司开始将比特币添加到其资产负债表中，越来越明显的是，这种“比特币战略”可以对公司的业绩产生重大影响。

Bill Miller IV, the Chairman and Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of Miller Value Partners, recently highlighted how companies having Bitcoin on their balance sheet gives them an edge and allows them to outperform their competitors. He also alluded to Microstrategy, which has been acquiring Bitcoin since 2020, thanks to the company’s co-founder, Michael Saylor.

Miller Value Partners 董事长兼首席投资官 (CIO) 比尔·米勒四世 (Bill Miller IV) 最近强调，资产负债表上包含比特币的公司如何获得优势，并超越竞争对手。他还提到了 Microstrategy，该公司自 2020 年以来一直在收购比特币，这要归功于该公司的联合创始人 Michael Saylor。

This ‘Bitcoin Strategy’ has undoubtedly worked out well for the software company, seeing how it has become more valuable thanks to its exposure to the flagship crypto.

这种“比特币战略”无疑对这家软件公司来说效果很好，因为它通过接触旗舰加密货币而变得更有价值。

Miler noted that more companies are now looking to follow in Microstrategy’s footsteps, having realized the power of Bitcoin, at the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at around $64,200, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Miler 指出，越来越多的公司意识到了比特币的力量，现在正在寻求追随 Microstrategy 的脚步，根据 CoinMarketCap 的数据，截至撰写本文时，比特币的交易价格约为 64,200 美元，在过去 24 小时内下跌了 2% 以上。
