特朗普媒体和技术集团筹集了$ 2.5B，以积累“比特币国库”

特朗普媒体和技术集团是一家公开交易的公司，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）和他的家族拥有多数股份，已筹集了25亿美元，积累了“比特币财政部”。

Trump Media and Technology Group, a majority-owned entity of former president Donald Trump and his family, has secured an investment of $2.5 billion, which the company plans to use to add bitcoin to its treasury.

特朗普媒体和技术集团是前总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）及其家人的多数股权实体，已获得25亿美元的投资，该公司计划将其用于将比特币增加到其财政部。

The move places TMTG in direct competition with a growing category of so-called bitcoin accumulation stocks, which act as a sort of proxy for investors who want to gain exposure to bitcoin without having to personally handle any crypto. In theory, as the price of bitcoin rises and falls, so should the stock price of the companies with large bitcoin treasuries.

此举使TMTG与越来越多的所谓比特币积累库存直接竞争，这些股票是希望获得比特币无需亲自处理任何加密货币的投资者的一种代理。从理论上讲，随着比特币的价格上涨和下跌的价格，拥有大量比特币国库的公司的股票价格也是如此。

According to a report by the Financial Times, TMTG initially denied any plans to accumulate bitcoin.

根据《金融时报》的一份报告，TMTG最初否认了积累比特币的任何计划。

“The Financial Times has dumb writers listening to even dumber sources,” TMTG said on Monday.

TMTG周一说：“《金融时报》让愚蠢的作者听着甚至哑巴的来源。”

But the company appears to have since changed its tune.

但是该公司似乎改变了其音调。

On Tuesday, TMTG confirmed in a press release that it has agreed to sell a $1.5 billion equity interest in the company and take on a $1 billion term loan. The company plans to use the proceeds to add "a substantial portion" of bitcoin to its balance sheet.

周二，TMTG在新闻稿中确认，已同意在公司中出售15亿美元的股权，并获得10亿美元的定期贷款。该公司计划使用收益将比特币的“大部分”添加到其资产负债表中。

“We view bitcoin as an apex instrument of financial freedom, and now Trump Media will hold cryptocurrency as a crucial part of its assets,” said TMTG CEO Devin Nunes in a statement. “It's a big step forward in the company's plans to evolve into a holding company by acquiring additional profit-generating, crown jewel assets consistent with America First principles.”

TMTG首席执行官Devin Nunes在一份声明中说：“我们将比特币视为财务自由的最高工具，现在特朗普媒体将把加密货币视为其资产的关键部分。” “这是该公司计划发展到与美国第一原则一致的额外利润，皇冠上的珠宝资产来发展成为控股公司的重要一步。”

TMTG’s embrace of crypto is a small part of a more elaborate picture: Over the past year, Trump and his family have moved into almost every segment of the crypto market, despite a chorus of complaints relating to alleged abuses of office and conflicts of interest.

TMTG对加密货币的拥抱是更精致的图片的一小部分：在过去的一年中，尽管涉嫌与涉嫌滥用公职和利益冲突有关的抱怨，但特朗普和他的家人几乎进入了加密货币市场的每个部分。

In January, in the days leading up to the inauguration, Trump and his wife Melania both issued their own crypto coins, adding billions of dollars to their paper net worth. That same month, TMTG announced the launch of Truth.Fi, its new fintech division, which partnered shortly thereafter with crypto exchange Crypto.com to offer crypto-related investment products to the public.

一月份，在就职典礼前的日子里，特朗普和他的妻子梅拉尼亚（Melania）都发行了自己的加密硬币，增加了数十亿美元的纸质净资产。同月，TMTG宣布了其新的金融科技部门Truth.fi的推出，此后不久与Crypto Exchange Crypto.com合作，向公众提供与加密相关的投资产品。

The president’s sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., meanwhile, have promoted a separate crypto services company, World Liberty Financial, and recently established a bitcoin mining business, American Bitcoin.

同时，总统的儿子埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）和小唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump Jr.

The crypto ventures associated with the Trump family have collectively raised hundreds of millions of dollars, partly through direct sales of crypto coins to the investing public and partly through asset acquisitions in deals cut with business partners.

与特朗普家族相关的加密货币公司共同筹集了数亿美元，部分是通过直接向公众投资的加密硬币销售，部分是通过与商业合作伙伴削减的交易中的资产收购进行的。

“If you look back at some of Donald Trump’s ventures over time … he essentially brings the marketing and a built-in audience in return for a relatively large cut of the company,” says Austin Campbell, adjunct professor at NYU Stern School of Business and managing partner at crypto consultancy Zero Knowledge. “American Bitcoin is literally that playbook.”

纽约大学斯特恩·斯特恩商学院（NYU Stern Stern）商学院的兼职教授兼加密助理咨询公司（Crypto Consultancy）的兼职教授奥斯汀·坎贝尔（Austin Campbell）说：“如果您回顾一下唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的一些冒险……他本质上将带来营销和内置的听众，以换取​​公司的相对较大的削减。” “美国比特币实际上是那本剧本。”

In May, Eric Trump announced plans to take American Bitcoin public. Like TMTG, the company intends to accrue a large bitcoin treasury and turn itself into a bitcoin accumulation stock.

5月，埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）宣布了将美国比特币公开公开的计划。像TMTG一样，该公司打算积累大型比特币财政部，并将自己变成比特币的积累库存。

"Our vision for American Bitcoin is to create the most investable bitcoin accumulation platform in the market," he said when he announced the plan.

当他宣布该计划时，他说：“我们对美国比特币的愿景是在市场上建立最可投资的比特币积累平台。”
