据报道，美国最大的数字资产交易所的首席执行官说，Coinbase探索了将其大部分现金储备投资于比特币（BTC）。

Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong has revealed that the largest digital asset exchange in the US considered investing most of its cash reserve in Bitcoin (BTC).

Coinbase（NASDAQ：COIN）首席执行官Brian Armstrong透露，美国最大的数字资产交易所认为将其大部分现金储备投资于比特币（BTC）。

Speaking at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in San Antonio, Armstrong says that they previously discussed adopting the same crypto investment strategy taken by MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) CEO Michael Saylor.

阿姆斯特朗在圣安东尼奥的比特币2024会议上发表讲话时说，他们以前讨论过采用了MicroStrategy（NASDAQ：MSTR）首席执行官Michael Saylor采取的同样的加密投资策略。

“There were definitely moments over the last 12 years where we thought, man, should we put 80% of our balance sheet into crypto – into Bitcoin, specifically. We'd follow the strategy that Michael [Saylor] has taken at MicroStrategy.”

“在过去的12年中，肯定有一些时刻，我们认为，伙计，我们是否应该将资产负债表的80％放入加密货币 - 特别是比特币。我们将遵循迈克尔[Saylor]在MicroStrategy采取的策略。”

But Coinbase eventually decided against the idea because it could jeopardize the company’s cash position as a startup and even potentially cause its demise.

但是Coinbase最终决定反对这个想法，因为它可能会危及公司作为一家创业公司的现金地位，甚至可能导致其灭亡。

“We made a conscious choice about risk. We're a startup; we didn't want to bankrupt the company.”

“我们对风险做出了有意识的选择。我们是一家初创公司；我们不想破产公司。”

Coinbase CFO Alesia Haas supports the move, explaining that the company doesn't want to appear as though it’s stockpiling Bitcoin in competition with its own customers.

Coinbase CFO Alesia Haas支持此举，并解释说，该公司不想在与自己的客户竞争中看起来像库存比特币一样。

“We didn't want to go out there and start buying up a huge portion of the Bitcoin float as if we're competing with our customers.”

“我们不想去那里，开始购买大部分比特币浮标，就好像我们正在与客户竞争一样。”

Coinbase abandoned its massive Bitcoin accumulation plan, but its latest shareholder letter shows that the firm spent $153 million in Q1 of this year to accumulate digital assets, mostly in Bitcoin. The company now holds $1.3 billion in crypto.

Coinbase放弃了大规模的比特币积累计划，但其最新股东的信件表明，该公司在今年的第一季度花费了1.53亿美元来积累数字资产，主要是在比特币中。该公司现在持有13亿美元的加密货币。

“Rest assured, we are not stopping there. We plan to continue to increase our capital over time to meet regulatory needs, support growing utility and further demonstrate our commitment to the industry.”

“放心，我们不会停在那里。我们计划随着时间的流逝，继续增加资本，以满足监管需求，支持日益增长的公用事业，并进一步证明我们对行业的承诺。”

At time of writing, Bitcoin is trading for $103,935.
